We started the hunt for property in March of 2000. On November 27, 2000 we purchase two acres of land in Hartland.
At the end of December 2000 we signed a contract with Heritage Log Homes (John Kacik ) for our log home package. After Mike
revised the drawings 3 times , Sherwood Forest Log Homes (Chris Sherwood ) broke ground August 6, 2001. 9 1/2 months later
our home was featured in The 2002 Livingston Calvacade of Homes, then we moved in with lot's of help from family on Memorial
day, May, 2002. 2.2 acres of Mud! Planted wild flowers in the front with a small grass zone. For 2002 the back was just
weeds. 2003 we hydroseeded the back and planted 6 blue spruce pine and 4 white pine trees out front, did the front brickpaver
path. 2004 consists of additional outdoor landscaping, 2005 & 2006 were complete re-staining the outside logs.
