Hey, Dean... Not to hijack the thread, but your profile photo lured me over to look at your photobucket. I'm very impressed with your cabin. The photo with your wife sitting on the front porch...

I agree completely. When I relocated from Jackson, MS to another town in the state, I put a "for sale by owner" sign in my mortgaged house in Jacksontown and started renting a 16x80 trailer in a...
As she keeps reminding me...
I wouldn't change a thing.

We recently had a problem with our house we're selling. SQUIRRELS. They tore through the fascia boards in one area of the house and started running amok in the attic.
Since we're inside the city...
Not to put words in my wife's mouth, but I expect her retort would be:
"Don't remind me."

LOL... From your keyboard to God's ears. I wish my wife thought I was that persuasive! I could have had invested so much more money in my hobbies over the years!

Just a cautionary comment...
A while back, there was a guest on our fine website who took offense at some of the posts from our members and made some comments that were deemed very aggressive and...
Yeah, Yuhjn... That's what I was getting at in my earlier post. The more we all can get away from that conglomerated gut filler production line, the better we all will be.

***NOTE*** - I have no political or social agenda. These are just comments/observations.
I've been fascinated in the last year or so with the articles in Mother Earth News and other periodicals...
Wow, Yuhjn... I sympathize with your plight. Here in south MS, one only needs to go down a few dozen feet to find pretty good water - sometimes even less distance. The water table is pretty high...
I know how you feel, Logguy. I'm registered for the Vegas class, and it's still a few weeks away. I can tell you this - read EVERYTHING on the public section of the forums. Also read EVERYTHING in...
Heaven help her.... M&A is somewhat like tax law (and actually involves tax law a lot) - lots of higly technical rules and very few opportunities for highly exciting cases.
I respect folks who...
I LOOOOOOVVVEEEEE half-baked ideas. My wife can tell you about all the visions of grandeur I've had over the years. I've dreamed so many different things in my adolescence and young adulthood, that...
Having registered for the Vegas class (but not yet attended, obviously), I can't give you any experienced words of advice, but I will say this...
I've read TONS of posts in the public area of this...
You may be right, Ed. I'm keeping a completely open mind. I've said in another thread that the only real detail that I'm firm on is the front of the house with a very large lodge-style overhang...
I confess that I'm leaning toward a slightly larger home. I've got 40x40 on the brain, with a second story of about 25x40 (leaving some upper space open for the great room). I don't want a...
I love that dog. I have toyed (pardon the pun) with getting a chihuahua for a long time now. The only problem is that I think I might have some yardbirds, and the yippy dog would likely chase...
All that math is what the Biltmore stick is made for. It has pre-measured segments for the estimation of feet. As I understand it, you can make your own with custom segments (to pick how far out...
Thanks for weighing in, Mr. Rock. I think I might have answered my own question today. I was driving through an area I hadn't been since I was a young'un, and I saw a stand of SYP (longleaf, I...
No worries, Keith. I'm not frustrated or impatient; nor did I think you were implying that Mr. Rock didn't offer assistance. I just figured if he helped folks design their houses, he might have...
Thanks for that, Keith. I don't doubt that Rock Engineering has a limited geographical range. But he frequently assists LHBA members, as I understand it. I just wondered if he was aware of anyone...
Rock,
I posted a comment earlier (I thought), but it didn't show up. I'm posting again....
Have you had any experience with folks in or around MS using southern yellow pine finding logs at 45...
I've been looking for a quick/simple way to estimate the height of trees I've been reconnoitering. Using the handy-dandy Google as my guide, I have learned a little about biltmore sticks (timber...
Speaking of solar panels... I'm a complete n00b at this topic, but I've been trying to read Home Power Magazine and some other things to get up to speed.
I've been formally trained in basic...
Hehehe...
No doubt! I look forward to meeting up with you after October 10-11. I definitely would like to offer up some free labor in exchange for experience and tips.
