Hi oliviernh

My wife and myself are in the process of building my own log home (with help of some good friends) on sleepers Island. I got the package from Katahdin log homes. Their packages use northern white cedar which has many benefits over other wood types. My design (26x34) with a loft and dormer that fit into my budget. Usually Log home companies have reps in the area that are contractors and can build your log home for you. I guess I chose to assembly my log home because of the cost factor. Overall assembling the log home has gone well. Katahdin numbers the logs and gives you plans that show where the logs go. They also supply a building manual. Granted, it has taken every weekend since early june and battling with the elements (winds and rain) also living in a tent to get this far but it will be worth it when it's done. I am still working on my home and will probally be out there on the weekends until the roof is finished. Feel free to stop by.
