Ahh Lisa, I can relate to you. When I was in high school in our home ec class we were told to
build a model of the home we all dreamed of. I went to a rather expensive private school so
most of the girls built these huge mansions. And the insides looked the same. Here I came
to school with a log home, 4 rooms. I large living area with a kitchen at the end and three bedroom.
One was a master bedroom and the others were childrens rooms with 3 sets of bunks in each room.
I was the laughing stock of the class. I even had a cast iron wood stove in the kitchen.
Now, 29 years later, I sit in a simple house, not log but here are our plans. We are siding the
house in cedar, bat and board. Inside we are at this very moment, placing pine boards on the livingroom
walls and placing them like logs and even filling the space in between with that stuff, hummm whats it
called chinking or something. We stained the boards and they look great. We are doing one wall
at a time. It will take a bit of time but its still making my little house look loggish !

Dreams don't have to die, just sometimes they change a little bit or is it we do ?!?!?
