Thanks. That's the solution I was leaning toward.

Hey Ronnie,
Do you have any pictures of you setting RPSLs on any of your builds? I plan to frame and deck the 1st floor before setting logs, but just started thinking that those floor joists @16"...
I've seen an LHBA home in Montana that used logs peeled with one of these. It's still standing, but has weathered less gracefully compared to spud-peeled logs, IMHO. And yes, I think those logs look...
Sarah,
Shoot me a pm and I'll give you my engineer's contact info. I'm not sure if he's willing to take on more residential projects, but his specs are FAR more reasonable than my last few bids.
I am currently in the permitting process in Shasta County. You can do worse than here, as far as California goes, but I was surprised by how onerous the fees and building regs are here compared to...
Hi Rick,
I am trying to get started on a build in Shasta County. My plans are currently being worked on by a local engineer. As it turns out, my biggest challenge seems to be finding an engineer...
Ron, that is hillbilly engineering at it's finest! I almost look at that picture as a sort of dare...
I've seen a couple examples of something similar. I plan on trying this with the small guest cabin before we build the main house to see how it works.
Couldn't have said it any better - best post on this entire thread!
I lived near the lake for almost 8 years, and had dreams of building a log home on a family lot in Fawnskin. After finding the LHBA, I was sure I could make that dream happen. I was heartbroken when...
I've been looking at these for the guest cabin we'll stay in while we build. Please report back once it's up and running!
'Nut -
I think you've written the o-fficial addendum to the LBHA manifesto... if it existed. I loved reading it, even if it did make me grit my teeth at having been born 20+ years too late (IBC...
Hey lilblue,
I just accepted a job in Redding and will be moving the fam up there this summer. The job will have me in Chico a couple times per month (just got back from there last night), so I'm...

Penstone:
As a current and disgruntled Kalifornia resident, I am looking to escape to eastern WA but am open to other locations. I caught myself drooling when I read "Northwest" and "no code". If...
I'm still cleaning tea off of my monitor after reading that! I can just see my wife twitching in pain as the OCD kicks in...
Great suggestions - thanks! I'll give it whirl... just hope they'll take my debit card (credit is evil).
Hey all!
I know it's pretty late to be askin' this, but funds are tight, so why not? I'm flying in for the class this weekend and was wonderin' if any of my classmates might be looking for a...
Hey y'all!
My name is Jason and I am an LBHA addict.
My family and I reside high in the mountains east of L.A., were I am currently a slave to the corporate medical monster. I just signed up...
