Hello, I'm finally getting to take the class!... thanks for coming over to the East Coast! I'm staying at...
I knew you would have the answer to the question. Thanks Rod.
Is there any system out there that will allow you do use the left over electricity after being used in your house ie: harness it before it leaves via the neutral wire? Maybe some type of inverter...
This all great but what about now? We have allowed the radical environmental nuts to sway our law makers to limit drilling in the US, on land and sea, so our dependance on foreign oil has crippled...
The termites and rot will love you. Logs or lumber, there are still rules one should follow.

That's because the members of LHBA have all gone up...
I live in a 1790/1807/1895 (3 sections as the family grew) circa stone house with 24" to 18" walls. Let me say that it is hard to get warm in the winter and cool in the summer but once you are able...
It can be a great way to buy land, I have done it twice in Maine. But you need to remember a few things. First, if you are buying in another state, make sure you get a heads up on the laws and...
Have you thought about a travel trailer, you can get a larger one for about 20K. A few thousand down, low monthly payments and then sell it after you are done. You may even get most of your money...
I have not started my "Skip style" home yet but I have looked at many "kit" makers and their model homes. Many of which were 5 years plus, many of them had signs of major problems, signs of starting...
Biodiesel is almost for sale in Bel Air, Maryland. A local lawnmower repair shop owner Duvall's is making it as we write. He has been running it in his 2002 Dodge Ram w/ Cummings, he has not changed...
I have been told that you can burn a mix of corn and pellets in any pellet stove. I have not tried it yet but I think I will this next season. Plus I have a stove (one of four) that runs on 12Volt,...
I was once thinking of a "kit" home but then Google lead me to The Log Home Builders Association's site. I had put in "log home kit problems" I read the site pages word for word and then took the...
Wendy and I went to a one day "Log & Timber Home" seminar and learned how to save $20K in the first hour, then I went to LHBA's class and learned how to save $100K. So if you have limited funds the...
The quartz heaters I have played with seem to heat me and not the air, if that makes sense. If I put my hand in front of the heater then heat could be felt but if I were to move from one side to the...
Can the multi-fuel units use waste motor oil? Now that would really be neat. Most service stations are paying for the removal of the oil as do resturants for their wvo. Chris.
Sounds like it's time to get out the big stick and find that "builder". If nothing else you will have the satisfaction of knowing he may not walk as well as before he ripped you off. The old saying...
Mr Diesel designed his engine to run on peanut oil as it was cheap at the time. You can take just about any older diesel engine and make it run on almost any type of vegatable oil or cooking oil....
If I were going to live in your location I would bury my water tank plus pipe system below the frost line. If the hill is high enough you may be able to get away without pumps as gravity would take...
Make it, Use it and to hell with the tax man.
Fixed male cats still spray, ask the two I have banished to the barn. It does not smell as bad but it's still spray. I don't want to see the cat that can do any real harm to a Skip house. Chris
Try this link, I think this is the product you are looking for. http://www.menco.com/atkinson.htm
Chris.
I was on another forum where a very similar question was posted. I found that those who had been to the class, as myself, had nothing but good things to say about Skip & Company and those who had not...
I just pulled up "ground loop" on Google, got a bunch of sites but the best for info is this company "Groundloop" lot's of good links on their site. Chris.
