Hey Kids! I don't get to visit here much, but this thread caught my eye. I drilled deeper into (and vectored off from), the link provided to structuremag and came across a nice White Paper on log...

A "not in MY backyard" story of fracking....... involving an Exxon CEO. (Wall Street Journal).

Whew! Wow - I was reading through this thread and it felt like watching a train-wreck, in slow motion! I was cringing at the thought that the Pinks were putting the cart before the horse by going out...

I couldn't have said it any better -- Well said, JohnW!
Tom: You too have now stumbled upon a site that may very well change your 1) Way of thinking, 2) Ideas of log home living; and 3) Your Life!...

I'm thinking along the same lines as StressMan. I thought the photo of LHN was Ron using 'The Force' to kinetically lift a log from pure will.
But he does "orchestrate" a lot of humor here -- if not...

Don't be fooled C-F,,,,,, Even the "Chink-less" method......has chinking. Just a Whole Lot more work in skribing and carving logs, to hide the chinking.
The idea of the B&P method taught here, has...

Rod's right -- logs (log homes), fall under slightly different rules, for R-value / efficiency. Somewhere (International Building Code?), I've read that, when it comes to rating log homes,...

I saw that one too! Pretty cool.

Bo - Unless you're the only thing around for miles and the highest thing at that, I wouldn't be putting up a lightning rod to INVITE a bolt over to my house. Let the surrounding trees / terrain take...

Jake; UNTIL you can take the class (and in my case, long after.....), read as much as you can access here. There's a wealth of information in nearly every thread. Even if it's one that doesn't cover...

I Second that one, Rod! :)
I'm gearing up to pass through the "NC LHBA Territories" later this week and really looking forward to the scenery, etc. Even though I'm kinda leaning heavy toward WV for...

GMeadow;
TAKE THE CLASS and Take Your Uncle (like RckClmbr said, he'll gain and retain things that you may have missed), and you'll both be on the Same Page, if you attend together. Two heads are...

Yeah, point taken Mario. I know nothing about the org, nor do I subscribe to their political views. But the data presented in their maps (i.e. tax on gas for each state, income tax rates if any,...

Here's a real informative thing that popped up on FB, of all places. Tax Foundation (dot org), puts up a Weekly Calendar of the United States and ranks/rates each states on various Tax elements (Beer...

I see Ronnie is doing a little "recruiting" for LHBA. Good Job Ronnie!

Pioneers. Welcome! Nearly every conceavible question has been asked by nearly all folks that have come through the LHBA public forum door. If you do a quick search on a subject that you are wondering...

Gather up the smaller / less-expensive / obvious stuff before class if you want to. But as I've said many times before -- The money I spent on taking The Class, was the BEST money I'd spent, since...

Shhhhh! Trying to keep that one a little under the radar, David :)

This popped up today -- "10 Best States for Retirement" (yep, another one of those). This list takes many factors into account....

Just got -- and replied to -- your PM, TTS. That's GREAT news Bud. Heed what I suggest in my reply (bright-eyed/bushy-tailed, take many notes in class, etc). You're gonna come out the other side with...

Good Move TTS! Be seein' ya on "the other side". :)

Welcome Chuck;
I think MOST of us here "stumbled" upon this site. A word of advice -- if you read much further, you'll be hooked, will take the class and there'll be no looking back thereafter.
I...

Welcome Rich! You've made a good first step in the journey. Enjoy the ride!

Actually, that thread had popped up here very recently. Feel bad for the guy. Now -- back to building with logs....... :cool:

Probably will, Mossey. We missed each other by a day or two, last time. At the rate ya'll are going, I may need to have my chinking trowel handy :)

Welcome TTSquirrels.

Doesn't matter if 2 years or 2 weeks. Most important is that you take the class BEFORE you start your build. Lots of eye-opening ideas will change things up.
The 2-year...
