    Forestry Service

    Has anyone gotten their trees from Oregon? Is there anything that I should say when talking to the forestry people when trying to get some trees from them? I wish to start building the summer of 2019. However I need to get the trees first and allow them to dry. My son and I will be working together.
    Thank you in advance.

    I'd get my foundation first. Too darned easy to get sidetracked and let those drying logs turn into rotted firewood. I sent you a PM, Kirby.
    Every time I have strayed from the teachings of Skip Ellsworth it has cost me money.

    I love the mask mandate. I hardly ever have to bruh my teeth anymore.

    I'd second this. I waited until I had logs to get the foundation because I was harvesting the logs myself. I didn't know what size home I could build until I had my logs. I guess if you order your logs, you can specify the size, so in that case, you would build your foundation first. Still, looking back, I knew no matter what, I was going to build a 40x40, so I should have gotten the concrete out of the way and then started cutting trees. I have 20/20 vision- just doesn't always work in both directions....

    Welcome John and Natalie. I am Bo's brother and I started building years before he did and we plan to get our certifate of occupancy sometime before we die... most likely this year.

    Hello all, went to class this past weekend. now trying to get all my ducks in a row to start my build in Missouri. If someone is building or has built in Colorado or Missouri and wouldn't mind me taking a look, I would appreciate it ! Looking forward to be a part of this group.

    Welcome, Dennis. There's folks building in both MO and CO- look for "colorado two-fer" and I think John17three is in MO. I'm building further away in AL, and took the class in Feb 2016. Seems like forever ago now.
