Had a log home.....once. Beavers came in and took the thing apart to make a dam. I think them putting the granite countertops on top was a bit showy.

Sears used to sell kit homes from their catalogue. There is (was?) a community comprised of them on Staten Island in NYC.

Stop by the Nixon Library to see the old style kit home.

TinyHomes or whatever it is are nice. All you have to do is build a 60 by 40 garage and buy those 40 by 8 storage containers and you’re set. (We didn’t do the TinyHomes but did the rest and haven’t regretted it.)

Waay too upscale, even the Tiny House site. What obamunistas have in mind it the permanently on the road home, all equal, all homeless-- while the political class live in real homes-- a modern day version of the Dust Bowl:

I have seen a lot of kit homes, people call them “connex” containers.

actually building a house is a mysterious process that is mostly left to professionals. Dewalt compound 12" miter saw, a couple of air nail guns for studs and sheet goods, and a coiled roofing gun, pretty much makes short work of the mysterious process.

As someone who has spent the last few years in the researching and planning stages of building a log home, the prospect of doing it is not only daunting, but mind-numbing. There is no 'easy' way of accomplishing it. And for those liking the prow front with a steep roof pitch, they have no idea what they're asking for until they consider the post-build responsibilities. For one (or two), I won't be the one going up a ten foot ladder to change the light bulbs and clean the windows in the great room.

I'm kind of getting stuck on this phrase. There's a gazillion books out there that'll walk you through it, step by step. I'm in the process of getting the permits in order to build my own house, and I'm finding the government red tape more baffling than the building process.

My boss owns a beautiful three-story house that was originally ordered as a kit from Sears Roebuck in the 1930s. Every piece was shipped to the site by train and then built by company approved contractors.
