My family and I are moving to Kalispell, MT this week and would love to connect with others. We are living in our 5th Wheel and looking for land. If anyone has any projects, at any stage of their process, and need or want help, we would love to try and help/learn with you. Good luck and hope to see some of you in the woods!
Did some Medivac stuff off the North slope into Anchorage and Seattle a while back.

Sounds fantastic! Would love to hear those sometime! I flew for PHI AirMedical, in an A-Star, out of Columbia, CA. I'm one of the privileged few that got to fly in and out of Yosemite. It was amazing.Quote:

I had just come out of a cardio thoracic unit....used the biggest Foley they had in CS. That is just the beginning. Lol Heck! I am sure you could tell tales as well! One of mine I found written up in the Readers Digest several years later.

Heck! I remember counting the drips on a liter of Morphine for a pt in acute asthma crisis. No pedi drip, no pumps....they had not been developed yet. The first SG line I saw was. Single lumen wound in a sterile dish of saline, used for multiple insertions. Later I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Gantz. Oh, Yes!

Wow... I don't have any quite that good... But one or two ;) Totally off topic but, I'm having difficulty getting my subscription notifications set up right. I havent gotten any email notifications regarding replies to threads and such. I have to keep checking the forum to see if there are responses. Any thoughts?Quote:

Oh yeah? Well I gave myself stitches once... SOBER!
Final exam: you have a bottle of vodka, a razor blade and a needle and thread. You have 30 minutes. Take out your appendix.

John W,
It is all right. I am not offended. But you are a trifle silly.

I also go over to the west side of the state a lot, south of seattle. That is where I grew up. Would love to get some experience helping someone with their cabin when available.
welcome to the family 12th!
Hello everyone, I just attended the class on June 6th & 7th 2015. Had a blast and stayed another week. I currently have 14 acres in North Carolina and 15 acres in Tennessee. I already have most of the tools I need and plenty of timber on both my properties. Just planning the time to start the process. Thanks for the good times and awesome instruction from a team of great guys. Looking forward to reading the posts here and learning more.
Hi all,
33, jack of all trades. Looking at land now in Idaho where I grew up. Thinking of taking the Sept. class, but it's a long ways from Asia, where I'm currently at. Might be tricky, but I hope to be there as this place is driving me bonkers!
Welcome Home L, NC, and 12.
Paul... Take the class but remember that Vegas is the Seoul of the West.
Hello, there, I just joined this group. I was looking to build a log home with my husband, which has been a dream of ours for the past 10 years. We've gone the kit route, to try to build a home and everything fell through. My husband passed away in November, and I still want to fulfill our dream. We have 2 acres in the East Mountains outside of Albuquerque, and I would really love to build our house. If I could get some help in fulfilling our dream, I would be so grateful. I don't know if I could afford the workshop, but I could try. I am now 60 and wondering how much I could do myself. THanks for listening, Judy.
Welcome, Judy. Sorry to hear about your husband. It's good you still want to fulfill your dream.
I'd recommend reading the forums to find answers to your questions, and questions you didn't know you had. ;-)
You can do this.
Welcome Judy, very sorry to hear about your husband. Like don said you can do this. There is a lot of answers here on the forums, just have a look and if you need help you only need to ask im sure someone will help.
Judy:
Sorry to hear about your husband's passing. That's got to be incredibly rough.
Where in the "East Mountains?" I grew up in the area, so the good news is you'll have year round weather for building. Yes, there's a couple days of snow, wind, lightning, rain or wind--but for the most part you can work comfortably outside any time of year.
If you keep it simple, you can definitely do it, or an awful lot of the work yourself. Logs are a lot like adobe, in that they will never be perfectly straight, plus, level or smooth--nor do they need to be.
You'll understand a lot better the concept of keeping the house plan simple if you take the class/workshop. It's not about building techniques, it's about a way to approach a house. If that makes any sense.

Hello, I'm Mark from NC. Just registered for the September class with my wife Shawn.
