My neighbor and I put the place together. He is a full time carpenter and I was a carpenter when I was in school. Putting the log frame up was a pain but we got to use the chainsaw alot.We had the schell up in a week.Placing the rafters and the roof deck was tricky because it was so steep. There was nothing really easy about this place because the logs shrink so you had to leave room for that. The upside it only cost me $400 a year to heat it and in the summer it is cooler in the cabin because of the moisture in the logs. The logs seem to retain heat in the winter and cold in the summer.
It is a 1100 SQ FT place with the loft.It cost me 52000 with the garage.

I hear you about the women. Mine leave the doors open, flushes the toilet every 10 minutes and freaks out about the ticks. The upside is doing tick checks on them.

When you start making some decent $$$ fly out for a weekend. I'm sure we could stay out of trouble.

Here it is in shell form.
