Mike built his dream home for himself utilizing
all the techniques he had tried to get others to buy from him. He included
character logs, which are logs that on the surface seem damaged but when
finished out can be works of art in and of themselves. He included carvings,
logs with the root base still attached, river rock at the foundation, and a
suspended staircase.
The people who saw the home were so impressed that he decided to enter this
home in the National Homebuilders annual contest. To Mike's surprise, it won
the "Best In American Living Award."
