One of the most exciting days for Terry and me was the day the logs arrived on our land.  It was fun to watch Terry as he communicated with the "wood yard" man who informed him the logs were loaded on the first semi truck.   Then talking to "Jose", the truck driver, giving him direction /address to where the logs were to be delivered.  It was quite comical to hear Jose who just took off from Idaho heading to Oklahoma asking Terry what our address was.   Address, do we have one??   Terry had to put our new address in Map Quest to see if it would pull it up.   To our surprise it did not.   So Terry gave him an intersection of our street and the main street it came off of......EUREKA....it showed our plot of land.   Terry was scurrying to find a fork lift to get the logs off the truck and then a "body" who could run the fork lift.   Both were accomplished and thanks to Bryan, his niece's husband, the truck was unloaded.  I was not able to be there to watch the unloading of logs but plan to be there for the second semi coming Monday.

 Even though we now have the logs, the basement needs to be framed first.  Checotah, Terry's nephew is helping with the framing.   Even his brother in law Greg came to help.

Next Saturday will be the "log raising" event.   Terry has done a great job of preparing for this day.  Originally we were hoping to have at least have the help of a contractor who builds for Yellowstone log homes but that fell through.   So with the help of family and friends, and Youtube,  we will begin stacking our logs.

More on that to come.
