He's closed in and got his Blaze King stove installed and running. Septic is in and connected. He's currently working on making a temporary living space inside. (he desperately wants out of living in the motor home any longer) Outside scaffolding is all taken down, and the crane truck has been cut up and hauled away for scrap. All joists are in, and first and second floors decked (third still needs to be decked) The DWV plumbing portion is done. All that is left is interior chinking, frame up interior walls, supply plumbing, and electrial. He'll probably get his CO in 2018.

Yeah, you're not old enough to be the old Steve, Steve. The genuine old Steve is more like Rod's age.Quote:

Yeah, I know.... don't say it out loud... there are already too many loghousenuts.
I only feel as old as the old Steve is old.
And I agree, there are enough LHN's on this forum for four forums.

We're everywhere.
And it sounds like "Old" definitely won't distinguish one from the other. ;)

You've found the right place to learn the difference between great and subpar building design. Become a member by taking the class, you won't regret it... will be echoed.Quote:

Welcome Steve. We just finished up our build near Hickory last month.

Thanks Arrowman. I'm a few hours west of you near Cullowhee.
Do you have photos of your build?

Here are a couple, these were taken before we moved in, some work still being done.

Nice house! You're really making progress! There is a thread in this forum called "How to get into the member's section" http://community.loghomebuilders.org...mber-s-section
I assume the info there is up to date, although the first post is a number of years ago. If it doesn't work, then email Steve or Ellsworth: info@buildloghomes.org
It's amazing that you have done so much without the support of the member's forum -- Congratulations! You must have listened real well at the class :)
Ditto! It's looking really good Shawna, but we're going to need more details than that one pic provides. Nice work

Good Evening Everyone,
My name is Angelo and I will be attending the class in Vegas on the 17th - 18th of February. I have been lurking for several years now and finally decided to pull the trigger. I'm excited to say the least! I live in SW PA and am a Marine Veteran (0261). If you wanna know more, just ask :-) I look forward to making new friends and learning along the way!
Glad to have you on board, Angelo. We have a town, here on the left coast, that was named after you! LOS ANGELES.Quote:

I appreciate the kind words LHN and Rod...it's nice to meet you both! From one newbie to the next, welcome Tracy. I guess we'll be seeing each other in a few weeks!
Welcome Angelo and Tracy. The class will be a great experience and the member side of the forum is also amazing.
Tracy, what part of IN? We will be building in Brown County.Quote:

He really wanted to everything from scratch. So much so that right now we are in the process of sawing our own tongue and groove for the ceiling. 488 14' boards are done on the tongue side - now for the grooves!

Very impressive! Wished I would have gone that route. When can we expect some pictures?
Look forward to watching your progress!

Has anyone gotten their trees from Oregon? Is there anything that I should say when talking to the forestry people when trying to get some trees from them? I wish to start building the summer of 2019. However I need to get the trees first and allow them to dry. My son and I will be working together. :confused:
Thank you in advance.

You don't need to dry them
I'd get my foundation first. Too darned easy to get sidetracked and let those drying logs turn into rotted firewood. I sent you a PM, Kirby.
I'd second this. I waited until I had logs to get the foundation because I was harvesting the logs myself. I didn't know what size home I could build until I had my logs. I guess if you order your logs, you can specify the size, so in that case, you would build your foundation first. Still, looking back, I knew no matter what, I was going to build a 40x40, so I should have gotten the concrete out of the way and then started cutting trees. I have 20/20 vision- just doesn't always work in both directions....Quote:

Hello all, went to class this past weekend. now trying to get all my ducks in a row to start my build in Missouri. If someone is building or has built in Colorado or Missouri and wouldn't mind me taking a look, I would appreciate it ! Looking forward to be a part of this group.

Welcome, Dennis. There's folks building in both MO and CO- look for "colorado two-fer" and I think John17three is in MO. I'm building further away in AL, and took the class in Feb 2016. Seems like forever ago now.
