Where to begin? Winter!!

Well, where do we begin?



I guess we'll just say winter came. After a wonderful fall which we got a great start on things, winter came just a little too quick. Add to the mix a couple of bouts of pneumonia for both of us and a little OT at work dealing with the snow, and here we are in March. We did make a little

With the back-to-back blizzards a few weeks ago and some pretty bone-chilling temperatures and winds sticking around for the past few months, I'm definitely feeling the need to get some quality outdoors time, and I can't wait for spring to get here. I imagine I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Fortunately, log-home building makes it easy to bring the outdoors in. As I write this, we're in the middle of putting together the May/June issue of Country's Be… Continue

LogHomeU Posting Etiquette 101

As I've mentioned in previous blog entries, this network continues to be a valuable learning tool for me, both as an editor and as an individual. I love to visit to see pictures of new builds, what products are piquing people's interest and all the friendly advice exchanged in general among members. That's what this site was created for: the education and enjoyment about all things log from those who've been there (and those who want to be).

That being said, some of the comment and blog posts o… Continue
