Thanks for giving Eric a warm LHBA welcome, Eric. You'll want to keep an eye on Eric, Eric. You two also have a lot in common, too. Can't wait to watch your log home go up, Eric... You too Eric, also.
You know, this is gonna get a bit confusing having so many Erics around here, Eric. Maybe you could both go by numbers or something. You could both be #1. It works fine in sports as long as you wear different colored trunks.
Never mind... I just checked and #1 is taken.
Duncan would work to keep LHN less confused. :)
And what # would I be ?
Growing up my mother used to tell me I was a little...S..t Head at times..;)
How about Eric from BC
Wow, only 10 more days until class time...
And then, out of the dark and into the light
See ya all there.
Ah, terms of endearment. LOL!
Little S..t Head!!??? No kidding? What a small world indeed! My mother called me little S..t Head til I got to be bigger than Bo and then she started calling me loghousenut.
She still called Bo big S..t Head right up til he joined the Marines.
Hey everyone, signed up for the May class and really looking forward to it - excited to meet new people. Originally from Brazil but have been living in New York for a while, looking into purchasing land but seeing this as a long-term project...happy to help others and learn a lot until I can build my own log home! Cheers!
welcome to the family, Mr Bull
Hey Guys,
Brand new to the Forum - I just took the course in Las Vegas this past weekend.
I'm already gathering my equipment and I hope to begin getting my logs on the ground in a month or so.
I hope there are some members in SC or NC that I can network with.
Looking forward to exploring through the information here.
bikerdoc with an avatar of a 56 2door? You're gonna fit in here perfectly. Welcome to the family.
Bikerdoc,
Extreme SW NC for us. Where are you?
Outside Greenville, SC

Welcome to the family, Dave and Tianna!
been pretty chilly here in MN too lately. sort of getting used to the below-zero temps. they don't feel nearly as miserable lately as they used to :)
Hi, my name is Mike, and I just took the class this February. I'm from South Louisiana, and am looking for land in the Arkansas Ozarks to build a retirement home. Hello to all and hope to meet some of you.
Welcome Mike, we just came through the ozarks 2 weeks ago just ahead of a lot of ice. Some beautiful country there. Sit back and have a good long read. Lots of good info and encouragement here.
Mike,
South Louisiana, do you have to have a current passport to get there? Just kidding. Welcome to our neighborhood.
I've been away from this site for a while. I'm having to foreclose on a land sale contract up in KY. I should have followed my gut instinct and never got into that deal. Thanks Rocklock for giving me your input. It sounds like a mobile home might be an option. I want to pursue my log cabin building dream in Montana if possible. I had hoped to attend the May 2015 class but that is still up in the air due to finances. Anyway, I still have the dream and intend to see it through when I retire.
Thanks again,
Phil:cool:
Hello All, My name is Dick and I just joined and signed up for the June 2015 class in Las Vegas. I live and work in Wyoming and have a property in the NW part of state. I'm looking forward to taking the class and learning the process. Since I joined last week I've dug in looking at as much as I can about the Skip Elsworth method and really like what I see about all that is taught. It seems to open a whole new world of log cabin/home building. It's nice to know there's another way that appears to be simpler, less expensive and more authentic than kits or high dollar and lengthy hands on schools. And doesn't settle, I'm really interested in understanding how that works with the gaps, even with the steel re-bar pin connections. Anyway I'm definitely interested and open minded about how this works after looking at a few former students projects. Take care!
Dick, you are smack in the middle of log home country. Glad to have you aboard.
welcome Dick!
glad you found us:)
Hey everyone. New to the forum, and this is my first post. My name is Nathan, I am 35. I live in Allegan, Michigan. My wife Christina and I just purchased 57 acres in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in Rapid River. We will eventually be taking the class however, are not ready yet to take that jump. We have quite a bit of land prep we need to take care of first. Looking forward to the journey.
Oh no. Another Canuck who's gonna tell us how wonderful cold and snow is.Quote:

I didn't turn a shovel of dirt until three years after taking the class, and didn't begin building the house for another five. I was preparing, financially and logistically by what I learned in class.
Hello from Alberta Canada, took the course in Feb. 2015, will start building in 2016 I hope. Still trying to get on the member forums.
You know, the inspector won't issue a Certificate of Occupancy unless you can prove you were on the members side of the forum. Best not cut any corners.

welcome WOG:) glad you found us. by the way, how did you find us? I found LHBA while researching kit homes on the internet. I quickly found I could not afford one. LOL!!
now we're on our way to having a beautiful place to retire in (that's debt free!!) what a dream come true!! a lot of work, but a dream come true!
:)again, welcome. glad you're here
Don't do it Wog!
Next thing you know you'll be as weird as the rest of us!

NO ONE is as weird as Mr Nut :)
For the record, that is Mrs. Nut in the photo.... I know you won't believe it but she was stone sober.
hello all. just getting started after an accident. we are going to start our first structure and would like to find out if anyone could tell me what the average cost per foot is on a home. we will start building for profit real soon. thanks. custom mike
I'm Robert, from Denver, Colorado. I've been on the LHBA mailing list for 4 years and I'm finally taking the class in Vegas over Memorial Day weekend 2015. Looking forward to learning all you have to teach.
Welcome Dr Robert.
Enjoy the class and we will look for you on the dark side. Lots of deep stuff over there. If you think LHN is weird over here just wait.
Hey there, LoggerHeads! This is Dan from up in the Pacific NW joining in.
I'm close to finalizing the deal on my mortage-free acre of heaven and am looking forward to learning the techniques about getting logs to lie down and behave! Check out the untrained timber at the end of my fairway!

I'm as green as those Rhodie leaves when it comes to this, but learning is one way to get the brain cells revived! Or at least find a good excuse for a drink after you've soaked up all that brain building you can cram in!
First fun will be chatting with the local Development Bureaucrats about my idea of a good time. At least I'm not in any city, so I won't have them to worry about.
Going to try to talk my buddy into a weekend of fun in Vegas , maybe next month! He'll do just about anything to get to fly his old Bonanza somewhere. I know he's always admired all the photos of great log homes I've shown him thru the years.
Here's a shack that someone in my new neighborhood put together awhile ago. Love that porch!
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-p...0/SAM_0084.JPG
My folks used to have a old Victorian that had a porch that encircled the house with turned wood stiles and carved rails.
I'm looking for something like this for my place. I'd sure put a steel roof on there, though!
After I get a place to keep a fire going, I'll have to get to work on a place to store my rusty old jalopies!
Yeah, an old log garage will do nicely!
welcome aboard Mr. Splinter :) glad you're here!
LOVE the look of those logs on the end of your fairway.
(and I love that wrap around porch too!!!)
I was looking for someone from CO where we were planning to built a log house. I am also a doctor and I sign up for June 6-7 class. Where is your land located?Quote:
