That makes 2 of us Hotshot! Got the reminder email this morning!

DanS, Actually, thru more years than I care to admit in construction, I learned a long time ago to keep it simple. My designs are either a basic box or 2 boxes rolled 45 degrees into each other (which I think is still simple enough to do from what I've been reading). Not the in/out designs you see in the so called log home publications. We both want a wrap around porch, so simpler (box shape) is definitely the easiest to design.

In conventional stick built housing, every single extra corner above 4 is filling the contractor's pocket. Each corner of every type raises the cost a bunch.

After taking the class, I now look at my old plans, or someone's custom layout and think, "my, that's an expensive roof."

Finished class yesterday! :-)
know, I know. They need a few days (or longer since they have an extended stay in Vegas this time) to give us access rights to the members only side, but I'm anxious to read the journeys other have taken and the hurdles they have overcome!

Glad they finally hooked you. Wadjathink?

You'll like the member's side of the forum. We're not as dull and boring as Ellsworth and Steve.

Ahh, fresh new blood racing through the veins of the recently classed, forming all new pathways in those brains to get around all those "I thought that's what I wanted, but now I know better!" pathways.
