but back then people were just happy to have a warm place in the winter

Yeah I'm a tall guy... I need 8' walls at least

like a full bed might be nice for some people but i just dont fit comfortably

yeah

but if you were living back in the day, on the American Frontier, you're basically camping

and you'd be happy sleeping on pretty much ANY bed

its a paradox where big strong men want to build homes that smaller weaker ones design but they dont realize until its too late the house isnt suited for them

that's kind of what I mean... I like seeing how far we can go pairing things down to the bare essentials

yeah I'm pretty thorough. I don't think that'll happen to me

I have a pretty good lay man's overview of basic archtectural principles, and layout design. We'll just have to see

but it is something I want to get good at

I don't want to build junk, so I'll have to spend a few grand getting educated

i dont doubt that you do and its super easy to visualize or markout if you alreasy have the ability as an artist

yeah man, and I'm a sketchup pro

lol

I think if you plan the house out well at first, you won't have floorpsace issues, in spite of the thicker walls

well that was about logs construction the walls are an issue

timber frame has the same floor plan issues but you can make a larger home but you are bound by timber length etc

i also dont usually talk to people about these things so could you give me feedback ..orchid obviously thought i was being a dick

I think he was just worried you were going to pick a fight

it almost seemed like that at first

"ayo hol'up... STICK FRAMING IS THE SHIT!"

lol

yeah im like goddam it if this guy is going to spread a larp

but clearly that didn't happen

dude yeah a lot of the log enthusiasts are just larpers

because they're attracted to the image of it

it's like a video game to them

thats what im worried about i always try and reel people back in ...i know everyone ahs dreams

but even then I think that's cool

I hope they achieve their dreams

I'd like to find log buidling methods that can be easy and can help people achieve their dreams

i hope people acheive action ..after that i really dont care

yeah sometimes I do worry about that

in the end I care more about the land

That's where I plan on spending the money

the house is still important, but I'd rather have a 2000 sq ft home on 40 acres than a 4000 sq ft home on 5

if you have any worries about site selection i have a tiny bit of exp points in that category

i always dreamed of owning a square mile just to say i did

yeah I'm reading up on that, too... but it seems like that's something where experience matters more than book learning

that would be awesome!
