Your Calendar Timeline (Gantt Chart)
How to read this calendar view: each row is one phase of your build, and its bar covers the dates that phase is projected to occupy between your start and end dates. The hatched fill inside a bar shows the share of that phase you have already checked off — a solid black bar means the phase is complete — and the dashed vertical line marks today. Cedar dots on a bar mark your custom milestones for that phase. Phases 1 to 4 are pre-construction steps you drive yourself; from Phase 5 onward your builder executes the work alongside you.

To auto-sync instead: iPhone → Settings → Calendar → Accounts → Add Subscribed Calendar → paste. Android → open the link in Google Calendar on a computer → From URL.
Subscribe (recommended) keeps your calendar in sync as your plan changes — it's one-way, so the planner stays the source of truth. Download is a one-time snapshot.
We create a "Log Home Build" calendar in your Google account and keep it in sync automatically. We can only see calendars we make — never your existing ones.
For Apple or Outlook. Subscribed calendars refresh on their own schedule (up to ~a day); the download below is a one-time snapshot with the exact dates on your Gantt. (Google is handled by the one-click above.)
Sign in and save your dates to get an auto-updating subscription. You can still download the one-time file below.

What is the Action Planner?
You have a piece of land — or maybe just the idea of one — and no construction background. Enter two dates: the day you'd like to start, and the day you'd like to move in. In about 30 seconds, this planner turns them into a complete 10-phase roadmap for building your custom log home — every step in the right order, on real calendar dates.
- 1Enter your start & end date. When you'd like to break ground, and when you'd like to be living in it.
- 2Enter your project information. Your name, the jobsite location, and any notes.
- 3Review your phases and download. Your phases land on a calendar — then download the PDF.
That's it — you have your report. Everything else is optional, for using this as a living plan.
- All 56 milestones — from financing to move-in, in the right order, with a target date on every task.
- Your Calendar Timeline (Gantt Chart) — watch every phase land on real dates you can plan around.
- Sliders that reshape the schedule — stretch or shrink any phase and the rest auto-balances.
- Check-offs that track your progress — mark tasks done or “not needed,” add notes and your own milestones, and undo anything.
- A project-ready PDF report — download it, email it to yourself, or share it as a link that opens without a login.
- Jobsite photos on every phase, gathered into your Build Story.
- A Project File Box for deeds, surveys, and perc tests — the PDFs you choose print into your report.
- Your plan on all your devices, your timeline in your calendar app, and a twice-monthly “what's due” email.
This is a planning guide, not a price quote — take it to any builder and adjust the timeline to the reality of your project.
