So a 12.5 amp will do the job?

Wish I would have been watching the forum over winter. I could have bought Thoners telehandler! Let that be a lesson to you all... keep up on the posts even in non building season.

Thoner did you just use bleach and water to get rid of it?

Welcome Bill!

Wow Kola! You are living like many of us dream of. I could not live that far off grid like you did in the tipi, but I envy the freedom you have. I’m just happy to live in the country where it’s...

Ahh.. some well timed encouragement. :) Blane, I think of your journey as we start ours, which will be much easier as I only have one adult child living at home. We are preparing to move into the...

We flew Southwest and were very pleased with the service; just not the price hike. :) But that was my fault for putting it off.

Watch your airline prices.. we were holding out for a deal and I told myself I would book it the next day and WHAM... it went up $200 overnight! We ended up looking at another airport that was...

I am finding that there is LOTS that has to be done before I can even apply for my permit. My situation is a bit different as I already have an established property, but there is SO much to be done...

Wow. Amazing what searching this forum brings up. I don't understand a lot of it, but found some good articles.

I would want my other half to go without me so the build didn't get delayed. But I'm always in a hurry to do stuff. :)

LHN.. you changed your avatar! Nice!

We stayed at the Rio hotel where class was. Decent hotel, but I doubt I would stay there again. Make sure to take plenty of money for food. That was the one thing that seemed to cost a lot no...

Welcome!!!

WOO HOO!!! You go girl! Been thinking of you and wondering how you are. :) So glad to see you back.

and even more amazing... she did it twice. :) the second time she had a bit of help, but she has quite the story to tell. Tragedy into triumph. She has a great website too.

:) Glad I wasn't the only one who Googled it. LOL

The join date on mine is when I first started posting on the non member side. We didn't take the class till September 2015. I had over a year of hearing "take the class". :) But it was still...

No one told me that! I may have to reconsider building my home. :) But honestly, I read at least 75% of the non member posts before going to class and I thought I knew quite a bit. I wanted to go...

Keep on reading! Then take the class and read some more! It is SOOOO worth it. I wish I would have taken the class sooner! But as LHN would say, my timing is just right..... :) I remind myself...

I remember feeling that way!!! :) I was so excited I emailed for member privileges halfway through the first day! LOL... I still had to wait. :) You're gonna LOVE it!

funny that you mention property taxes... I was researching this past week on how to keep my property tax at a minimum with my build. I read that book that was mentioned in another thread and it had...

AMEN to that! I have no regrets about attending class at all and I have the same sentiments about retiring.. I feel less stressed knowing that my home will be mine and not the banks. Freedom is a...

Yes, I just had one of the most enjoyable days of my life. The Boss and I made a hinge (actually two). I coulda done it without her but it would have taken ten days. Something about working together...

Thanks so much!

Just curious... If we plan on logs that are closer to 18 inches, would it be better to use 5/8" dowels?
