It will be handbuilt log, with some stone work, like a fireplace, some lower walls stone, and porch post piers with half stone bases. I like the grey, dry stack style stone work. Probably not more than about 1000 sq ft on the main level, with a basement for extra space, like laundry, reloading room, spare bedroom for company, and storage for seasonal clothes, and all that junk we seem to collect and think is priceless. The house will be a central part with kitchen, dining and living room, a bedroom off to the north, a sun room on the south, and a porch extension of the roof line on the east, plenty of windows. May do a wrap around porch also, at least a small porch on the west off the bedroom. The sun room will have a walk out patio with a 3'-4' bermed stone wall for wind break and privacy on the west and south side, an outdoor fireplace, and a small greenhouse on the side of the house. To the west faces the mountains, the south for the sun, and the north to see the mountains, northern lights, and first light if the sun on the mountains in the morning from the bedroom. The shape will be like a cross or "t shape seen from above. I'd like to do it in the style that Yellowstone Traditions does their work in, traditional style, and looks 75 years old the day it's done. If you haven't seen their work, google the name, they have a remarkable web site with some very cool houses. Lots of interesting detail work. Some of their doors are very cool. They do mostly larger houses, but the style and detail ideas are applicable to any size house or cabin.
