Logs not yet sourced but have put the word out hoping to get something affordable for next spring

Have had to re apply for planning permission and have left my cousion with the 40 x 40 plans to put in my amendments - he will then submit - hopefully we will get planning permission - if not don't really know what our next step will be

Now that I am back I am going to start on a model

Also realised that what little money I do have is not going to get me very far as everything is still so expensive - so am hoping that next year prices will drop .....here's hoping !

Attended class in June '09, got our stock plans (we decided on getting the bundle to cover any future needs and all contingencies). We purchased our land 6 years ago, 5 acres of which half of that is good to build on. We got planning permission for 1 two storey building only - am travelling out next week with our plans (we have not had the time to make any alterations but will ask the architect to add a wrap around porch for us). We would ideally like to build two 40 x 40 side by side but will be happy just to have the basic plan with wrap around accepted by the planning dept. Our biggest problem will be in finding the logs and oh boy I think that will be one huge problem, if we get any for free will be a miracle but I've a lot of work to do to find them in the first place and then to get them as cheap as possible - worse case senario would be we will have to import them in - not sure how that will work out as money is short.
I've a huge list of things to do, sorting out the water, electricity options, planning dept. finding a surveyor to wet stamp the plans etc. etc. etc. and getting some sort of temporary living sorted out while we build....will probably end up in a tent!! have tons of practical stuff to sort out with the move, we plan to move at the end of the year latest beginning Feb next year - ......if I can just find a good source for logs I 'll be happy... I have two weeks .........wish me luck I'll need it!
