For the longest time I have not displayed any links on this site. I’m going to start doing it again. I’ll only include sites that provide quality information on log homes, log cabins and timber frame homes. The first one that I have decided to include on the list is a personal site of a dedicated family, which is building their dream home in Kentucky.

Log home building stories are usually quite dull (I’m probably alone with this opinion), they follow the same natural storyline:

Which log is the best?
Can you recommend a good manufacturer?
What about land?
Any good contractors?
Hurrah, we are weather-locked!
Decorating!

People need something to be inspired and motivated… people get this from their peers and given the growth of the industry most of us who live in log homes have done it by buying already finished log homes or employed contractor to build one. Isn’t it just natural that we follow people who have gone the beaten track before us?

Massie house blog is something different. The scale of their undertaking is so huge that you can’t get away with it by just working hard. One has to work determined to reach one single goal. Following how they learn as they go is eye opening and I can’t recommend their website enough.

My first ever group writing project is now over. Two women took part and wrote excellent articles, you can reach their articles over here. For the next group writing project I plan to double submissions.

Deciding the winner was extremely easy, but only because from the start I resorted to gambling as a way to pick the winner. Ok, ok, not gambling, but I did use roulette wheel. We had two participants so it was red/black situation. Em Dy was red and Kreez was black, also I decided that in case of bank I would roll again. The ball landed on number 23, which is red so those books go to Em Dy. Congratulations!
