I just got to thinking about a recent-gone-viral post on the forums here, and I think it would be awesome if LHBA gave away two awards annually.
One award can be for the nicest, most glorious home, the other annual award given to the person/family that built the most frugally.
(Disclaimer: I understand that "nice and glorious" may include a frugal build, just wasn't sure how to distinguish them in a description.)
In this way the person who builds most consistently with the DIY, frugal ethos of the LHBA gets honored along with the build that hires out much of the work and that use mainly new products in their build.
Each category could follow certain guidelines to be considered in the category of choice. For example, to be considered for the "frugal" award, one must use a block and tackle system for lifting log and purchase 80% of their material used or previously owned but not off the shelf.
What do you think?
