Sounds awesome.

Welcome Yogip. Sounds like an awesome place to build but very cold. We're building in Tennessee. We're loving it. Nothing remote here. We took the course last year. Welcome to the forum.

Hi Paul and Kathy. We had a kit home too. We're loving the LHBA way of building. We took the class spring of 2014. Now our house is dried in. We're in Cottontown, Tn.

Hi. My husband and I are laying our first log today. We're in Tennessee. We're really excited. Any tips?

Thanks to everyone who posted above. We have our poplar logs. About 55 at 42 feet long. Went to the class in March. It was very informative. The basement is going to be poured this week or next. I...

I don't know yet about the top measurement of the logs. We haven't gotten to see them yet.

The poplar log peeling is supposed to be very easy if you harvest them in spring or early summer...

Well I did it anyway (edited my post) so no one else can call me. And while Im here what do youguys think of getting 12" tulip poplar logs for about $2.00 a linear foot and peeling them and using...

Good to hear of someone from Europe coming to the class. Just curious why was log home building outlawed.

Hey longhouse nut. Can u tell me how to edit out my phone number?

Actually we are going tomorrow to look at some poplar logs that belong to a logger (not a mill). I'm excited. If we can get these logs for less than the milled ones then we can build the LHBA way. ...

Just a note to Blondie. I would like to talk to you. Thought I saw a message from u but I can't find it now. My number is [redacted by admin]. Please give me a call.
