Tony,
I must say I don't update this thread on SMC too often, as I don't post here much at all anymore.
I am making some progress, but all of it not galootish.
1) I found a yard to build the home at, but haven't finalized it just yet. I am to take possession of it on July 1st.

I also figured out a major piece of the puzzle, what I will use to lift/move the logs. As you saw, these are HUGE timbers.

I update my blog pretty regularly, so if you want to follow this project, that's the place to get the most recent info.
