Ponderosa Pine green cut peeled like a dream. Could peel a log in about 20 minutes
That's a nice looking log house on the inside there. I'd use hemp rope or wool if it were me.
The answer is yes you can mix green with seasoned logs, however the LHBA method is the only method it can be done with and not any other method, So .... "take the class" ;-) I would be wary of so...
All wood interior tends to darken the interior quite a bit. Sheet rock can lighten the place significantly. It is really preference. Log interior walls would require much more foundation work and...
Mossyme,
I learned to straighten logs pretty well with a chain binders. My logs sat out on the sun and twisted up pretty good. But you can look at my house and you'd never know.

Good places to find tools is craigs list, local throw away papers, yard sales etc. you won't need a draw knife there is a better way it's called a spud. You'll need some power tools like a hole hawg...
The short answer is yes. All of us have used trees with limbs. Finding trees tall enough without limbs would be difficult if not impossible and the only reason they don't have limbs is because...

Take the class ASAP and don't wait 5 to 10 years to build by then you get bogged down in day to day stuff maybe have a wife and kids which will make it much harder to get started. The class will...
A couple things to consider in a Skip style home are that a plumbing leak is an unlikely cause of log rot as the advice is to not have a log wall as a wet wall. The interior non-log walls are used...
Here is what I would do to replace a whole a log in a skip style home. Dependening on the length of the log you would cut a small section in the center and quarter marks on each side if the span...
Thanks. Those logs are summer cut and very green so we use the truck to lift now. I have a couple extra double blocks we chain to the over dangles to route the rope through. However were running out...
Nice yes definately a beauty
I think he's talking to me Rod?
Assuming you're talking to me. I learned the method by taking the class here at LHBA. Those poles in the corners are lifting poles for lifting the logs. They will...
I would add that if two of you go you'll each pick up things the other doesn't . It really depends on you as a couple. My wife liked the idea of a log home but was not that interested, So it was all...

You should be able to build a nice place for that amount.
I would definitely take the class before buying land. Your whole perspective will change. There are a lot of misconceptions out there...
