Hey Paul, welcome to the boards! So glad you found us. There are a lot of people, myself included, who found this site because we were researching log home kits.
I just came back from the most...
Oneshot... yes, my confidence has definitely been lifted. If I didn't believe this was possible - especially after the class - I wouldn't have bothered coming back to the boards. I have no doubts...
More mellow? Yes and No...
Yes because anticipating the class is over.
No, because I'm still excited about the process!
Not to mention that I've been exhausted. The night before I left...
Steve and Ellsworth know what they're doing. That's why I didn't show up with any preconceived notions, ideas or plans. If you already have it in your head how you want to do it, you will find it...
I can guarantee everyone whose signed up for a future class (and to those of you who are considering signing up for the class) you are not going to regret it.
You are going to get more than your...
I work at the Federal Reserve and I just spoke to a bank in Seattle. He said Seattle is fine and Everett (where he lives) is ok, but Monroe is an area that's having some flooding problems. He...
Ok, now I need some input on how to plan ahead for all the rain the area is getting.
On Thursday night I'm staying at the Edgewater Hotel downtown Seattle. It's already in the water. On...
It's starting to feel like I'm becoming a member of a secret society! Secret cookie recipes, secret information, no cameras, lengthy drive, hike up the hill, being blindfolded and hooded...
I...
If I can veer temporarily into an offshoot of this question...
Are there any fundamental decisions a person should make, or be prepared to make, before attending the class? Any questions we might...
Rod, If a job possibility happened along while I was there, I would give it very serious consideration. I've always wanted to live in Washington.
WalkingHorseLady, you're too funny for color tv!...
Wow, more than I thought. Must be a big home!
:shock: There are other kinds? :shock:
By the way, how many people are there in a full class?
Six days until I'm sitting in class with my pen in one hand and a chocolate chip cookie in the other! I'm really excited :!:
Visiting Seattle is great to look forward to. Class is even better...
stockhatch, I haven't taken the class yet (just under two weeks away, though!) but I just wanted to make one observation about your posts.
You've said a few times, "I read on another site" or "I...
I have to say, this is the part I'm most nervous about in building my own log home. I hear people here saying that I can do it myself, but I find that rather ShOcKiNg! :shock:
:::imagining...
Andy, Don't worry about it. You're not the first person to make multiple posts and I'm sure you won't be the last! :lol: I'm excited to be able to notice all of the little details once I take...
Thanks for the encouragement, Mark. It feels good to have a dream without having to be anxious for it. I trust Him with it.
What part of Knoxville are you in? I used to live there 10 years...
I would like to know if it's any more difficult or expensive to build a barn-style log home? You know, the old barn shape... It's a style I really like and wanted to get your input.
I know...
After Rod's endorsement, I'm willing to check it out. Thanks for sharing the site, fromotoc, and welcome to the forums!
Are you trying to make me cry? Is that what you want? Do you want to see me cry?! LOL :lol: Just teasing!
Two things I've already taken into account are: 1) There are logistics that I...
Thanks for all the suggestions and advice everyone. I'm taking it all in.
I hope it's ok to ask questions about the Seattle part of my trip, along with log home questions. I know it has to be...
1. Welcome to the boards!
2. Congratulations honeymooners!
3. You're in the perfect set-up to build your own log home!
4. Bring your dad and wife with you to one of the classes! :wink:...
By the way, what would be a quintessential Seattle souvenir?
What is a great Seattle souvenir?
I don't know of many other places a body can go to get such genuine encouragement. Thanks adubar, dvb and Mark. Not to mention Steve, Sara, Rod, dbtoo, Andy, Adam, Jordan and everyone else. It's...
