Resources

Purchasing and restoring our cabin has been more about researching, learning and doing than relaxation so far.

We’ve had a lot of fun researching and learning each night about DIY resources, fun cabin recipes, trout fishing, identifying plant species, and updating our plumbing, electrical, framing and log home building skills the last three months.  There are some terrific sites and individuals who have already figured everything out for us – below are just a few of our favorites.
