Cabin fever

In 1994, Joost Korpel, along with his wife Margaret, began the realization of his lifelong dream of contstructing a log home, which the couple (both Star Wars fans) christened Rebel Base. Along with Joost's terrifically humorous, must-read diary of the project, visitors will find blueprints of his home, and a itemized contstruction budget. Those inspired by Joost's infectious log-home enthusiasm should check out his comprehensive list of get-started readings, then head to the active message board to exchange tips and ideas. The Cabin Fever site is a real labor of love, and even those who snicker at the idea of constructing a house out of logs will come away from it actually considering chucking it all, moving to the middle of nowhere, and living like Abe Lincoln.
