Are you in the process of building a log home? Or maybe you recently built or moved into a log cabin and would be interested in sharing some unique or interesting stories about your log home experiences... Our log home construction plans got pushed back (again!), and we are in a holding pattern right now. If all goes well, we will break ground this winter. Until then (and maybe even after then), we would like to include your log home stories here at The Fun Times Guide to Log … [Read more...]
Abraham Lincoln's farm land is up for sale to raise money for a new log cabin and visitor's center. Small parcels of the 4-acre tract will be sold to the general public. We're talking really small... something like 1-inch square pieces. These are souvenir land deeds only. While they are not sure exactly how many parcels of land will eventually be sold, there are more than 6 million square inches in an acre -- in case you were wondering. It will include a deed that can be recorded with the … [Read more...]
Ruth H. sent us an email: Soon I will need to buy a home in FL. There is a log home available in Ft. Lauderdale. Can log homes last that far south? I would love to find out more about what I should be looking for. Please send some advise." … [Read more...]

We are most grateful that Joe has taken the time to compile a summary of his findings. If you are interested in … [Read more...]
My friend Joe (whom I've never met) is a regular visitor to this site, and also a future log home owner (...if all goes as planned). I don't know what I did to deserve it, but he has provided me (and by extension, you all) with some very valuable information that I just have to share. This mostly pertains to those seeking a lake lot on which to build here in Tennessee... … [Read more...]
Yet another lake we visited during our search for the perfect lake property is Douglas Lake in East Tennessee. Here are our first impressions of that particular lake. … [Read more...]
I thought I'd tell you a little about one of the other lakes in Tennessee that we considered, ever so briefly: Center Hill Lake in Middle Tennessee. … [Read more...]
Lakefront (or waterfront) property in Tennessee is very hard to come by these days... I don't care who you are! Why? … [Read more...]
We've decided to put our property on Dale Hollow Lake up for sale. Why? Because we'd like to buy an RV. And since things are moving along so nicely toward building our log home here in Williamson County Tennessee, holding onto the Dale Hollow Lake property would purely be a luxury at this point. We view this lake property as a place that we would eventually (a long time from now) like to build a "vacation home" -- our log cabin on the lake -- but we'd rather do some serious RVing before … [Read more...]
