If you are a non-LHBA member who is interested in taking our traditional 2-day in person class*, then send me a message via this board.

Different forums call it different things: direct message, personal message, private message. This forum calls them private messages which is a misnomer on the part of the software manufacturer imho, since all messages are stored in database and accessible by an Admin account (which is standard for forum software and social media platforms in general).

In the private message include your name, email address, and a y/n to the question 'Are you willing to travel to Washington.'
And please give input on this issue: Would Friday / Saturday work? Would Sat / Sun work? (deal breaker status?)
Also feedback about two 10-11 hour days versus three 7 hour +- days, Thurs / Fri / Sat or Fri / Sat / Sun. (deal breaker status?)


There was a list on our past websites that said something like this:
Do not take the class* if you have already bought land.
Do not take the class* if you have already bought logs.
Do not take the class* if you already bought building plans (that rule pre-existed the LHBA stock plans by decades).
Et cetera.

We will maintain a list of interested people.
We surely won't offer a class* until we have properly expressed the information which sets the right customer expectations, and which helps increase the chance for long term customer success.

*As in the past, it will not be an actual class. Rather it would be a non-commercial event, a new member meet and greet. One where everything in the LHBA construction manual will be reviewed and discussed.

IIRC there was once a bar in Washington. When the state outlawed smoking cigars and cigarettes in bars the bar started to sell memberships, and member's could smoke on the 2nd floor, not the first floor (which was open to the general public). Eventually they realized that their employees could not deliver food/drinks to that member's only area due to the smoking, so members started to pick up their own orders from downstairs -- which turned into a volunteer system of "I'm headed downstairs, what do you want Sam?" AFAIK that system worked. I do not recall the name of the bar. I have never been there. I do not know a thing more about the situation than what I have typed above. It would have been around the time of the case linked below.
