Congratulations! Every new anklebiter is a blessing! Now take the class... you can wait as long as you want to build but the sooner you take the class, the sooner you'll be truly on the road.
Can't wait to get you on the other side.

Congrats on the pregnancy- it will change everything. I was a lurker for years. I'm writing about our build experience [see link below] because I had the same questions- couldn't see how it was possible that LHBA could be done, but we're doing it. Here's a video my wife helped me make of stacking one log (because I always wanted to see this as a noob, too). Only thing it doesn't show is cutting and peeling the log. And it doesn't show the log falling after it slipped out of the strap (but I posted that separately on my same channel- it's cool to watch a 5,000 lb log hit the dirt). :)
What a video!!!
We need more
Of this on this side to keep people educating themselves until they can make the course
Fantastic job you are doing
And thanks for the kind word!!
Here are a few from my build here in Southwest Missouri
Starts by taking the class.

[QUOTE=loghousenut;142087]I settled on Imgur. I am pleased. Nice to have a web photo site whose name I can pronounce.
Yeah, Imgur is the best right now.
I remember way back when I used flickr, then that site kind of fell out of favor as the "it" photosharing site. Then it was Photobucket, same deal, fell out of favor and had an annoying habit of breaking links to photos. Imgur is the best right now, though there latest update seemed to make it harder to manage albums...
Bumping my post for progress. Up to 5 courses now. If you're curious, my build is a 30x30 LHBA plans built on 4' stem wall. The logs pictures are about 15" to 16" butts and 13-14 tops. See pic:

Fantastic work!
Please keep posting pics! How are you stacking them , with a telehandler? How long is it taking to set a log/course? I’m sure lots of us noobs would love to know!
Congrats btw, house will be awesome!
