    Well as for the espresso machine I have plans of a #10 wired dedicated 20 amp circuit a drain and a water line going to the dining room. I am also thinking about a little bar sink on the coffee bar. I will need a place for the first shots to come off the machine. And I don't care too much for horses I will stick to the pickup.

    Most impressive, thanks for sharing!

    I'm curious:
    A. do the logs provide their own R-factor or do you have an inner lining of insulation and drywall?
    B. if you don't have that inner drywall, how did you run wires... did you leave a gap somewhere, a little notch or something?

    That's really cool dude.

    The logs do have an R value but it is not as good as an insulated wall but they also have heat retention which as near as I can tell means they store heat from the day into the night? All of the information I have is that log homes are as easy to heat as framed homes.

    The electric runs in chases drilled with a 1" auger while stacking I then drilled into the chases with a 2" forsterner and cleaned them with a chisel. Using a fish tape I pulled the wires into the boxes from the basement. The interior walls are framed and wired with conventional methods.

    Great looking, You are going to love it...
    We have a Log home also, made from cedar timber that was cut from the property.... we have found that yes they are cool in the summer and warm in the winter and our heating bills run about half of what my friends with conventional homes in the same size range pay.....
    (No I didn't build it)
