Joe is our "roving reporter" for the day. He's a longtime visitor to this site and you will find his comments at the end of many of the articles found here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... we thought we were going to build on Dale Hollow Lake, but we've had a change of plans. Why? Because "round two" led us to something very interesting. Namely: a piece of property that got snatched up right before our eyes a year ago! Yep, our search for the perfect place to build our log home comes full circle. Here's the scoop... … [Read more...]
I'm about to list the Top 5 places to build a log home, according to the editors of Log Home Living Magazine (August 2007). But before we go there, I think we all would agree that there are plenty of other locations that should've made the list... but didn't.
