A LOG HOME for CHRISTMAS........ "Thank-you SATTERWHITE LOG HOMES!"
We broke ground on the NEW HOUSE yesterday.
Whoohoo!
Now, there's a big hole ready for rebar and foundation...
After 12 months of decisions, we've decided to ATTACH our new log home to our wee guest cabin. We'll maximize square feet that way and the 6 foot hallway will give grandma and teenaged son some privacy while keeping them close when they are visiting from Canada.
With the economy the way it is this Winter, we've decided not to build on the upper 8 acres (and to make the house a tiny bit smaller). The lower 6 acres is fenced, has septic already, and electric poles, so it's easier and cheaper to build on, while we keep the 8 acres and horse barn for an investment and future building ideas. (Yes, we are thinking retirement in 5-10 yrs and yet another designer log house at that time when our 3 kids are off at college.)
We are still trying to sell the house in the city to pay for it all, but it's been under renovation since August. Here's a picture of our 4 BDRM, 2.5 BA, 2 CAR home in the Medical District of San Antonio:
Many thanks to DUSTY at Satterwhite Log Homes for being so patient with us while we decided on our "dream home" plans!
