Show bythe The Salt Lake Tribune, Sunday, April 5, 1998 Retreats Central Texas. The pile ofinline skates onthe patio is evidencethe place is no weekendretreat for the Langfords and their three young children. The home measures 2,600 square feet, with a vaulted ceiling and hardwood floors and a spaciouskitchen,a loft, and a bearskin hanging near the native stonefireplace. A small lake in back. Pinetreesall around. “Weloveit out here,” said David Langford, 34. “The sound of the wind in the trees andallthat.” Butthe homezalso doublesas their businessoffice, nerve centeroftheir small log home empire. For 17 years, David has done nothing but build log Continued from Page F4 between now and then, log cabins grew to four bedrooms, with modem kitchens andsatellite tv. Nomorefilling gaps between the logs with a mixture of straw and mud — chinking asit is known. Nowlogsare carefuily milled to fit tongue and groove: Mostlog cabinsstill feature vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, stone fireplaces andlofts. But there are spiral staircases in log cabins now, central air and spas. Some whoownthembristle at the term “Jog cabin.” Nowthey are “log homes.” Takethe place of David and Julie Langford, set well off a country road in southern Tarrant County in North © © ® © homes,ranging from 600-square-feet getawaysto mansions, most of them built for lake property or country hilltops. He’s been running twoto four months behind schedulefor the last six years. Indeed, it seems as if everyone had the same idea at once. “[ havea lot of people who probably don’t like me that much,” David Langfordsaid, “because I don’t have timeto retum their calls.” On myrecentvisit to the Langford place, there was no concealing myjealousy. Julie Langford handed me a copy of the January issue of Country’s Best Log Homes,in which their home is featured on Page 51 beneath the headline “Building on experience.” The issue is otherwise filled with breathtaking photography and inspirational stories. “At Home on a Mountain Lake”reads one headline, “A Home Worth Waiting For” reads another. “Hiker’s Paradise”is the headline for a story about a cabin built in the Rockies for a retired couple. According to Langford, the cost of log homes runs about $85 per square foot. The cost of a 2,500-square-foot log home generally costs about $200,000,he said. The word “dream” seems to pop upa lot in log homeliterature. After that day on the Rio Grande a fewyears ago,I can certainlyrelate.

More women are wielding powerdrills So, with spring andits accompanying home-improvementprojects just around the corner, what types ofpower tools do womenneed to have? Here are some recommendations from Dave Noggle of Skil PowerTools: - A powerdrill is one of the handiest and mostversatile of tools. Typically a first purchase among homeowners,the drill can be used to hang curtain rods,install door locks in wooden doors, build shelves andinstall crown, chair-rail and baseboard moldings. With attachments,the drill can be used as a screwdriver, polisher,stirrer for mixing paint and much more. Homeowners may wantto consider a cordless drill, which offers the benefit of complete freedom of movement.
