An adventure begins

I created this blog with no real purpose initially, and of course it has sat unattended for a few years now. It now has a purpose! This will become the log/diary of the adventure of my family building our first home. Not just any home...a LOG home, which has our dream home for many years now. After researching and visiting a handful of builders all across the great state of Texas, we settled on Satterwhite Log Homes. Today I was reminded of why we chose them. Yesterday was the first day of construction, and they ran into trouble with rocks. Just in case you don't know, Interstate Highway 35 in central TX forms a boundary between coastal plains (farmland) to the East, and the very rocky Hill Country to the West. Long story short is that the rocks were an unforeseen problem that almost threw a wrench ($$$) into what was supposed to be finalized pricing. Today Satterwhite stepped up to the plate and is going to make everything right. The "warm fuzzy" feelings my wife and I got, which helped us decide to choose them as our home builder, are still there. They are good people, and so far, good to their word.
