Scott, I'd consider seeing if the marriage difficulties are going to get worked out before jumping into potentially more stress because of a change of homes. Kind of like those couples having trouble and having another baby as a solution. I lived in a log cabin for two summers. It was built in 1941. The last summer I had to dig a trench around the perimeter of it, so the construction crew could come in, jack it up off the ground, and put a new course of logs on the bottom to replace the original that had started to rot from contact with the dirt. They don't make them that way anymore, but I was amazed the original base course had held up that long. It was chinked with oakum and I didn't hear of it ever needing to have it replaced.
