Thanks for the warm welcome back, can't wait to rejoin the community! I've sent the image as requested.

Wow, smart to take the class three times with Skip. In hindsight, I should have done the same. Not sure why Skip replied to my emails, he probably just took pity on a twenty something know nothing.

Hi my name is Jaclyn Snyder, I’m not exactly new here but I haven’t participated in the forum for a few years. I found LHBA about 10 years ago and have been dreaming about taking the class ever since and my husband and I are finally planning to take the class this May!! To say I’m excited is an understatement! Can’t wait to move forward with our dream. We live in TN and plan to build in Northern Middle TN once we find land. I’m looking forward to being active on here again and hopefully once we take the class be able to help someone on there build to get a little hands on experience!

Welcome back home, Jax. We have been patiently awaiting your return. Glad to hear you are taking the plunge. You'll love the real side of the forum!

Welcome to another Tennessean.

Welcome! Not too far from you- building near Huntsville, AL. Come see us- we'll scare you into using a telehandler.

I was similar- took me 10 years to finally take the plunge. Wished I would have started 10 years ago, but the stars hadn't aligned back then (and the trees we are using now weren't ready). Anyway, safe travels to the class, and good luck with your build!

Thanks loghousenut! Can’t wait to get to that members side!!

Thanks Mudflap, we would love to come see your build and maybe give you a hand if you need one once we take the class! Huntsville’s not far at all! And I would certainly love to get behind the wheel of a telehandler! A friend of mine took the class years ago and bought one but never followed through on the build so I never got to see it in action.

oh...I meant we don't have a telehandler, so using ropes and such will scare you into getting a tele. Either way, come take a gander.

Last night, we started the 1st log of the last course- log #53.

Wow!! How long has it taken to stack you logs that way? And your right that may scare me into getting a telehandler

One gear below break neck speed... pin boot to building speed. I don't know how mudflap feels about the speed it's going up but looks to me like he's flying along.
