A closing date on the land has been set. Now on to the next step in the journey--choosing a producer.

The family is now gathering and organizing their research. For more than a year the family has been attending shows, browsing the Internet and looking at magazines to determine what they want and need in their lakehouse.

They have narrowed their search to producers of full log homes and have scheduled a tour of a factory showroom near the location of the property. Pictures and details will follow soon.
