Building "Green"

Yup, that's my place.  Thanks for all the complements.  I'm not sure it really classifies as a small home, though it started that way on paper.  I meant to build it in 4 stages, but because of a windfall I was able to do all the 'crete in one go, and since I logged all the logs from right there just pushed ahead.

By-the-by the walls have between 3 and 3.5" of rigid insulation. One of the few things along with the roof decking "stud" 2X6s that I didn't scrounge.

Beautiful home! Those straight logs look like they'd be a joy to work with (as far as log poles go!).

Very nice prometheus. Nice place to call home.

I love Lodgepole pines, our last place had Ponderosas which I had to mill most of the time.

I had several that a used that were 45' with the taper running from 8-10"

Seems to me this post has gotten lost somewhere along the line. I believe we can all get along on this issue
if we just do what we can to conserve as much as everything as possible. The main thing is I don't want Uncle Sugar passing more laws that make me do what I don't believe is needed. Let me make my mistakes out of my own ignorance the best I can!
And I don't believe that man is responsible for 'global warming'. I'm not even sure we are in a global warming period. Go back to 1079 Time magizine cover which states we are in a global cooling period, without question! But, wheather we are or not, wheather it is man made or not, I believe everyone should conserve all they can of everything. Why not? In most cases it's easier and cheaper. Just don't legilate it.
