Hello Steve and Rockinlog - welcome to our forum. Read all you can on the public side, and then there is about 15 - 20 times more info on the members side. The only way to get there is to take the class. Whether or not you end up building using this method, taking the class will be enlightening and well worth the experience. Many things you learn you could apply to a stick-built home.
Steve - I'm building in central Missouri, where abouts are you?
