Ever built a log home from scratch. I plan to start this process in May 02. I am retiring from the Navy in Apr 02 and have been waiting all my adult life to start this endeavor. Have 17 river front acres in North West Maine. Last year built a small cabin to live in while going through this process. Got a local sawmill to cut all the wood. Thought about renting a large dozer or tractor but why do that, I have a utility tractor to dig the basement. Might regret it, but have the time. The concrete footers, foundation is going to be a task. Anyone have any recommendations, comments, etc, on topcis such as alternative energy, foundation work do's and don'ts, or any other topic would be helpful. Hope someone reading this web page has info. Thanks in advance. Hugh T.
