And we're dressing very...

Where in NC are you currently living? We lived in Hendersonville, NC (close to Asheville) for a couple of months before we moved to Chattanooga, TN. We love Chattanooga, but we miss...

Wow. Thanks for the good tips. That may be the best option. Still a couple of months away, but we'll probably make a decision soon.

I think we're going to fly, but you're right about hotels. Downtown is extremely expensive. I think we still might stay a little closer to where the class is held, but I'm not sure how...

Appreciate the long response & explanation. I've noticed that many of the student built homes have that rustic, natural look to the logs, while others have colored. I was a bit curious looking at...

I hear ya...we've been waiting a long time as well. I started browsing on the LHBA site when I still lived in Wisconsin. Moved to NC...and now I'm in TN.....3 states, over 900 miles, &...

For those who have stained their log homes, how often does one need to reapply? Does this depend on pine species? Also, using the butt & pass building method, one doesn't peel deep into the logs...

My fiance & I are also attending the Boston Class in May. We've both been saving & waiting for the right opportunity. Three years later, we're finally in the right position, and we're signed up. ...

and as of today, we're signed up for the 5/29-5/30 Boston Class....finally coming together!

I don't like to ask a question for the sake of asking a question. I've done enough reading on this website over the years to know when I have a legitimate question/concern that needs to be answered....

Thanks for the straightforward answers. Logs are gonna check. I'm a bit worried that I won't notice a problem area when I begin to build, but that's just my inner pessimism. Then again, I plan to...

Hey all,

With B&P construction, roofs have larger overhangs to protect from water. What about log checking on the exterior? Can this be a big problem for water/bugs? If not, does somebody have...

I was unable to make the last class in Vegas. Dying to know...how was it? Please, allow me to live vicariously through you until the next class opens up : ) Who wants to share!

I've been in TN for a year and 1/2 now for work, so I haven't invested in any land quite yet. I've been to Ocoee area a few times. Beautiful up...

Hey Riverfishone-

I've been lurking around the forums for a few years, and I'm currently living in Chattanooga, TN. I was going to take the Vegas...

I wouldn't buy this product. Just to give you a heads up, it's an affiliate product offered through ClickBank. From what I've read on many forums, it proves to be too challenging, and has a high...

I really dig the fireplace. I love how the rocks just blend & seem to melt into the wall. The mantle piece is great, also.

I've read through the forum frontwards, backwards, & sideways. This post will help for a good start :)

Thanks for the input from everyone. It's absolutely necessary that we both take the class & we both plan to do so as soon as we save a bit of money. We're both very motivated, excellent savers...

Let me rephrase. If you are currently building. At what point did you feel ready to do so monetarily. What were your plans if you have built. What were your plans before building. And where are...

Well, I thought I'd pose a question to everyone on the forum in regard to saving money to build a log home. I'm assuming many are in the position where they can afford to start building a house, and...

Hem, Klap, and Rock...Thanks for clearing that all up for me!- Brett

Hey everyone---Just a general question about the rebar that suspends the logs in the Butt & Pass style...Metal & wood & how they react....doesn't the metal rebar create moisture inside of the logs &...
