Well after scouring the internet in search of a log home kit, I stumbled upon LHBA. After only reading a few pages and then a few posts on this forum, I was convinced this is the way to go. My husband quickly agreed. We have been "lurking" the forum for about 6 months now, and finally got the email for the next class...and signed up immediately!! February can't come soon enough!! We both know this is going to be a long, hard, and demanding task to build a log cabin. We aren't afraid of hard work and long hours, but the biggest difficulty we are having right now is all the negativity with family, friends, neighbors, coworkers etc. telling us how foolish we are, how much work it going to be, that we have no idea what we're getting ourselves into.....etc etc. It's to the point that I don't even tell anyone our plans anymore. At first it just fired me up more, and I used it as motivation to "prove them wrong", but some days it gets real old, real quick, and I just get irritated with the silly, uneducated, hurtful remarks. I guess what I'm looking for is some moral support, and everyone on the forum is on the same path and seem real genuine and helpful. I can't wait to get to the OTHER side!!
We have already purchased 160 acres of land, and hubby is already buying and building tools we will need. I'm trying to slow him down because we will learn soooooooo much more in class, but he's raring to get going LOL
Would love to chat with anyone else going to the upcoming class or get any newbie advice from the old pro's on here
