Doesn’t look like anybody’s posting here. Newbies need inspiration! I thought I’d throw a few out. Funny, I’m already remodeling! 20 years gone by in the wink of an eye!

What's everybody complaining about? When I took the class, there was no workbook......and we got to hike that damn hill......
That's so cool! Nice job! If it was me….I'd put a paper towel one in my bathroom…..I'm sick of getting stuck with no TP! That way theres always two rolls loaded!!!
I don't think peeling the logs should scare you…….that's the easy part!!!! Building anything, with anything, is all about drive and determination. It's just a series of small projects all put...
Too funny LHFeverDan! I thought it was only blasphemy if it was downstairs!
I didn't want noise! 5x12 reclaimed timbers, topped with nice , light colored 1/2 tng pine. That's what I see from below, massive but clean, and the pine wasn't too expensive. I left a cavity. ...
This is a great pic!!!!
I had to put the lights on with the tree laying down! Then once it was up, slid it over to the balcony, decorated the top, slid it back in place in the room, and jumped on the ladder,,,,,half in...
You'll make a few mistakes. You'll learn a ton from them. You'll have a great house. And you'll go on to help others. It's called a leap of calculated faith!
Mine mostly came from the annual boneyard sale at a local custom window company. Huge savings on gorgeoous windows. Then I designed my window package around them. Totally worth it. Also turned...
I sit here reading these comments. I remember Skip telling us about the lifetime of these homes. Rod, I don't even think that my roof has faded over these 10 years. The systems will need...
Well I guess you found the right spot! All the info you want is right here. If, you intend to build your own house. The advantage of time is good. First you need to get to one of the upcoming...
OK!!!! somebody come over here and show me how to use this @#*! hi tech computer stuff. Why can't they figure a way to make this thing work like any other power tool? I have a scanner, not that I...
Scott you saw the truck we used didn't you? We started out with a 19 ton Peterbuilt boom. Then upgraded to a 23 ton bad boy from Ness Crane. Helps if you know their weaknesses. A quart of ...
The railing in this house was custom designed by me and built by Kevin at Wesweld in Stanwool Wa. He did an amazing job! I also used another friend of mine who lives here local. he works for a...
Sorry to be out of pocket so long guys! Got rear-ended a few weeks back and slowed me down a bit. Bummer. But, anyway, Rocklock, if you'll drop by I can give you a copy of the plans for these...
Slate. Soft, easy to work with. I love it. I'm in the process of doing a whole wall as a backsplash in the salon side of my new shop, also as trimwork around doorways. I used ungauged. Lots...
Corinna called me today! It's way past bedtime-but had to check it out! Dang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Steve! Dude! What an awesome job! You are the man with the camera! I am goin' to bed, see ya at...
So I usually don't get my feathers ruffled at much. However in response to the comment on this thread 2/15/08: My permachink is 10 years old this summer and I've used less than 1 gallon more chink...
You know, I tried all of that. Most of it came out (this was all back before stain), but some stains were stubborn. They are still there. I like Michaels idea of coated rebar best! I need to work...
Well, well, great minds think alike! I too have been in the salon biz for nearly 29 years. How do you think one makes all those necessary connections? Through the salon! That's how I met my...
OK you two. My question is (for you future buillders) how do we keep that rust from rebar from running down our pretty logs and staining them during the stacking process, cause you know that is...
So you got signed up! Yahoo! You will not be disappointed! So I to assume that you have a salon?
So exciting! Get to class first. There is so much to this that is not like conventional building. It's hard to even begin to budget yet. Spend your time reading posts. Get to class, take...
Take the class, then you can get into the good stuff in the members forums. You'll learn a ton in class, then you'll be able to get back-up from other builders. When my place was built (and yes its...
