I've been reading this forum and the various build blogs for 6 years. I see so many current and future log builders in the beautiful mountains of NC/TN/VA/GA that I thought a thread centered on the Blue Ridge might just explode with activity and encouragement. For those reading who don't know yet, the mountains are awesome! The secret is getting out, and everyone from everywhere is moving here. Retirees, families, hipsters, Obama, and some mega big employers are trying to snatch up a piece of the Blue Ridge. Google it, it really is that good
I am going to take the class within the year but don't plan on breaking ground for another 3-4. The LHBA inspired me to sell my big downtown house and in October. I bought a couple acres south of Asheville to build a badaz-butt&pass! I got a piece on top of the ridge with some cleared flat, that came with a double wide to live in and a 1950s 2br cottage to rennovate and airb&b while I prep for the big house. Then the cottage is quarters for LHBA members who wanna help. I dropped 15years off my mortgage and 20% off the payment! (I know it's not classy to talk about $ but I'm a "Mr Money Mustache" follower, and I feel that open conversation about debt and finance has to happen for our culture to stop being "consumer sukkas".)
I plan on a couple years offering my help to the LHBA in the mountains before I start my build. I am excited to join this community in earnest, and devoure the knowledge of the members side.
Elsworth, Steve, isn't Las Vegas getting dull? Maybe come to " Ash-vegas" now and then?
And my people of the mountains, who are you? where are you? What is your plan? Blue Ridge Roll Call- Go!
