THE BIG NEWS!!!!!
OK - so I can finally make the big announcement. :o)
We are building a LOG HOME!!!
We had to make the decision by today, in order to get in on the log home company's promotion of a free 24x24 garage. We have really had a roller coaster of a ride the last few days, trying to make all the numbers work and land decisions in such a short time frame. So, the contract has been signed and Fed Ex'd with the deposit, and the decision is FINALLY final.
We still have a long road ahead of us, but I am thrilled to finally be able to say it out loud and know it's not just a pipe dream. We plan to put our house on the market in the next week or two, and we are working on back up plans in case it sells before we finish construction.
Tenatively, the log delivery date is November 29, and it takes a few weeks to assemble the kit and get it ready for the inside stuff. I'm not looking at being in before the first of the year, but it would be nice.... :o) If we can get the financing stuff finished, close on the land, clear the land, and get the basement in sooner, then we can move up the delivery date on the logs.
In order to keep it affordable for us, we are doing as much of the work as we can. This with kids, homeschooling, and oh yeah, did I mention that it's football season? (I guess it's a good thing we're used to being busy!) LOL!
We created a custom floorplan, which will look similar in the front to the photo above.

We created a custom floorplan, which will look similar in the front to the photo above.
The specifics:
- 1444 sq ft with a full unfinished basement
- wooded 1/2 acre mountainside lot
- 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths upstairs
- deck and screened porch off great room and master bedroom
- extra large laundry room/family closet between the two bedrooms
- open floor plan with great room/dining room/kitchen combo
- did I mention full unfinished basement? (schoolroom, playroom and eventually 2 more bedrooms and 1 bath)
- .... and a FREE GARAGE! (we don't have a garage now)
WOO HOO! Can you tell we are excited!?!?!
