Our house was overlooking the ocean with a view for miles up the beach both wavs. The sunsets were different each day and the moon reflected on the waves a special nightly bonus Tide pools around the rocks held varieties of sea life Four racoons ap peared on the deck every night for a handout and seagulls appeared during the day The residents of this house by the sea have encouraged both and they were really pets. Most of our family had to work part of the week, but some part of the week all of them came except the daughter who lives in California Three other daughters and two sons who were there p a rt of the time seven of us all week including our three grand children. M IK E N EA R Y had a dream and it took about three years and lots of hard work to ake the dream come true. He wanted to build a large log house, but it had been 27 years since a log house had been approved in Clackamas County, The final result, 3.200 square foot hand built log house on Truman Road, is a work of art. The plan is open and spacious with a large entry and a living room with a sunken con versation area in front of the CUSTOM IMPERIAL REFRIGERATOR Automatic Ice Maker optional Meat Tender standard Special elegance and convenience of tempered glass shelves Twin Vegetable Hydrators S P E C IA L VALUE!

A log stairway, made of half logs with carpeted treads and log railings in the center of the house leads to four bedrooms upstairs and a loft above that with twoextra sleeping areas. Gne of those bedrooms is 18 x 18 It could be a recreation room The master bedroom has a separate bath and a huge log railed deck The kitchen and dining room are open to the living room. The dining room wall is a series of planters with grow lights a r tistically spaced in a natural cedar wall. The kitchen has a partly opened wall too. It took the first eight months just to gather the logs They were cut out of the Bull Run area by permit and selected to be of about the same diameter The size of log used in con struction is the size that ideally should be thinned from the forest to allow the larger trees to grow faster Logs were out in the spring so the bark could be peeled off more easily. These logs were treated to resist rot and bugs with penaseal and seasoned for a year. It took about 250 logs that were about 40-50 feet long to build the house The plans were drawn up and Mike sought a building permit, it took a frustrating year to get approval. Log house requirements were not in the county files, so every detail was questioned and it took many trips to town. In fact, Mike moved in there for awhile, so he could do all the necessary checking Portland General Electric did a special heat study test Wood is not sup- posted to be a good insulator all alone, but with the buildling adhesive used between the logs for calking . . . it checked out surprising high. Because it was different the requirements were tougher and the house had to be built to meet the specifications. All the logs are rebarred together at four foot intervals, and all the stressing is beyond the requirements for a frame house They probably got tired of Mike's persistence, so they finally told him if he could get an engineer's stamp of ap proval they would okay the permit. Of course this was not a one man project. Mike had help from his younger brother and co-worker Wayne Stout Others helped in various stages in the building process.

Clackamas County Com missioners voted last week to allocate additional funds so the approximately 1,800 traffic fines still backlogged in the county’s district court may be processed.
