+# Refactoring Plan for Issue #184: Replace Debug Statements with Proper Logging
+
+## Overview
+This PR replaces all DEBUG print statements with proper Python logging framework.
+
+## Implementation Plan:
+
+### 1. Create logging configuration module:
+```python
+# src/tsbootstrap/logging_config.py
+import logging
+import sys
+
+def setup_logging(level=logging.INFO):
+    """Configure logging for tsbootstrap"""
+    logger = logging.getLogger('tsbootstrap')
+    logger.setLevel(level)
+    
+    # Console handler
+    handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
+    formatter = logging.Formatter(
+        '%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'
+    )
+    handler.setFormatter(formatter)
+    logger.addHandler(handler)
+    
+    return logger
+```
+
+### 2. Replace print statements:
+- Search for all `print("DEBUG:` statements
+- Replace with `logger.debug()`
+- Add logger initialization to each module
+
+### 3. Add user control:
+```python
+# Allow users to control logging
+import tsbootstrap
+tsbootstrap.set_log_level(logging.DEBUG)
+```
+
+## Files affected:
+- All Python files containing DEBUG statements
+- New file: `logging_config.py`
+
+## Testing plan:
+- Verify no print statements remain
+- Test log output at different levels
+- Ensure logs don't appear in normal usage
