G'day everyone just signed up last week for the June class. I have been creeping around the site for several months now and have just bought a hundred acres up here in Northern Ontario.
Oops, oh ya sorry My name is Brian my wife Kim and I are going to build next year, we live in Milton Ontario, Canada which is a half an hour (depending on traffic) west of Toronto. the land we just purchased is just north of Parry Sound Ontario. The birthplace of the GREAT BOBBY ORR!!!.
welcome aboard Mr and Mrs Kanuck :) glad you found us!
congratulations on signing up for the class. a big step but you'll never regret it
100 acres sounds lovely :) we only have 4...
love that Bobby Orr:)
I always thought Bobby Orr was borned in Oregon. Figured it was a nickname.
Welcome aboard.
100 acres in Ontario? Wow. Care to sub divide 10 for me and the Mrs. retirement? :-)
That is awesome.
The price per acre when getting that far up there are pretty affordable. Winters would be too rough on me though.
Summer house!
The Earth is only going to get warmer in the next 30 years.
Doesn't feel like it in Chicago. 48F and it's almost June lol :)Quote:

Seems to be colder the further away you get from LHN....further away from all that hot air!
Grants Pass, Oregon... Geographical center of global warming. Feel free to drop in any time in June between the 5th and the 14th and be among the chosen few to experience it in person before it becomes really popular.
Once we perfect it we'll ship out the beta version to the rest of the Country.
It'll be free, with an upgrade available if you want to skip the ads
I was waiting until AFTER taking the class to buy any land as I figured they would offer some tips on what to look for and I was right. You will enjoy the class for sure. Stay in touch. -Dr Robert-
Hi Dr Robert, I know, I'm already realizing my mistake. :( Oh well. Congratulation with taking the class! And yes, let's stay in touch! :)Quote:

My first residential project was the restoration of an historic double shotgun house in New Orleans in 1997-2000. After that project, I realized that it would be easier to build a house from scratch than to do what I did there, although it was worth it because I learned so much about construction.
This method of log home building seems almost too good to be true and I'm really excited about getting started in it.
Cheers
It's too good to be true and you'll most likely love it. Kinda like a good rib steak. Welcome aboard, Tim.Quote:

Welcome aboard wishiwasamish. We might be related somehow. I have a second cousin named Hamncheesesamich. I noticed the spelling difference but figure that probably happened at Ellis Island.
Hello everyone,
My name is Tim if you haven't figured that out already, lol. I live in Houston, TX and would be interested in finding other members in my region/state. The class was eye opening and worth the price. I'm glad I had the opportunity to learn now so I can minimize my errors when buying land and constructing my first home.
Welcome Tim, Is your head above water? Lots of prayers and concerns for Texas.
Welcome Tim!
Hey All,
Just a quick intro. I attended the class this weekend (May 30-31) and am just starting the log journey. I technically live in Southeast Colorado, but in reality I live on the road. I own a small transportation company and travel All over the US and into Canada. Since I travel all over, I am looking at land for building sites all over the place.
Welcome Flying,
Since you travel all over you might get a chance to see a few of these in various stages of construction. That will give you a better perspective than a lot get before they start.
Hi Flying log, My son and I bought a land in Pagosa Springs, CO this year. I will attend class this coming weekend. We should keep in touch!Quote:

Just took the class last weekend with my better half. Great class, we really enjoyed it! We live in the Roanoke, VA area and are looking forward to this new adventure together. In the process of closing on some land and hoping we have enough good trees on site to cover what we need.
Same class i was in! You would not happen to be the couple who was on the shuttle to the airport at 4:45 am are you?Quote:

The class was spectacular-leaned a lot and quickly changed our original plan to build with a company out of Tennessee. The class gave me an understanding that we can definitely build our dream home together and end up with a quality product. Building a log home has been our dream for 20 years and now that we are older I didn't think we could do it ourselves. We will be creating our retirement home on 150 acres in southern Colorado. We are posted as Poppy's Pinons since our business in West Texas is Poppy's RV Repairs and the land we own in Colorado is heavily forested with amazingly tall old pinon pines although not useable for building. Looking forward to this new adventure and thank you both for sharing your knowledge.
No we were on the shuttle at about 6:00 am. You have a head start with your own trees! Finding our trees in Colorado is the most challenging part to us. Good luck with your closing and I'm sure we will meet again in conversations as we progress through the fun and adventure ahead.
Yep, that was us :)Quote:
