With regards to Loblolly, it is know as a SYP (Southern Yellow Pine). I live in west central Georgia and plan to use it.

That's what I will be building with. I have lots of it on my land. You may have to treat to keep carpenter bees away, if you have them there.

Excellent info! I appreciate it!

Attention Log Home Builders!

We have a TDE (Thread Devolver Extraordinaire) Alert! The Fuller-Featherstone gang are in full swing and on the loose on this thread! They are considered to be...

Can't be much worse than Bo finally doing the Neti pot thing. :p

Hey Rod,
How easy was it to get the used poles? Are they buried in the ground with concrete? Nice looking pole barn!

It is with sincere regret that I step down as an advocate for the elimination of TDE's. After many hours of soul-searching, I have come to the realization that this is an impossible endeavor...

LHN,
We need to put together a set of rules and guidelines to kick this off. For example, I like Timberwolf's definition of thread hijackers - Thread Devolvers Extraordinaire, or TDE for short. ...

I would've been suprised if you had found any. Are not most schools supported by property taxes? Maybe not. I don't know.

You might want to try a loan company that specializes in farm land and agricultural based loans, etc. Out here in the south, there is a company called AgSouth Farm Credit. I don't know if there is...

How did this thread devolve into about the average Joe who walked an hour to school in the deep snow, bare-footed and fighting hungry wolves with a textbook along the way?

Yeah, he was being pretty antagonostic (and I was ready to give him some words, but I held back). Poor guy, doesn't seem to realize that this forum is filled with honest people trying to help others.

Whoa, some kit builders really take this butt 'n pass concept over the line, huh?

Fabincabin,
I see that you posted this response to a thread back in March of 2012. (Post # 31)

For those of us who have lived or are currently living in this kind of winter just about every year, it is normal and we know how to deal with it. For those that do not experience it often, it can...

The class runs from 9 am to about 9 PM, so I would not feel good about having my children try to sit and behave for that long.

Doesn't sound corny to me at all. Very well written and true words of wisdom spoken in your poem!

About 20 years ago, my son and I got into a physical fight (more wrestling than punching, with no...

Welcome to LHBA Christina. You and your husband have just taken the first step to an exciting future!

I can tell by the comments thus far, this is going to be an exceptionally fun thread to participate in! :)

Anxious to see the photos!

This is pretty interesting stuff! Thanks for sharing!

I wouldn't worry about LV, unless you get distracted real easily. The classes are in session for close to 12 hours a day. I arrived late the night before and left the evening after the second day. ...

That's the right spirit and attitude! Which I believe a lot of us share!

Oh yeah, now I see it. ;)

Yea Troy, Where are they? :)

FYI. I just turned 60 in September. I anticipate not starting till I am 61 - 62 years old. In the meantime, I am planning, learning through these forums and working on acquiring tools and...
