Flight RN, then call the man. Nice guy.
John W,
It is all right. I am not offended. But you are a trifle silly.

Hello,
LTaylor here, currently in KS but moving to Northern CO in Aug. Buying land right now and plan to start building in the spring.
Hi Dave and Tianna, I live in Chicago and would be interested to help/watch/follow your progress. I'm June 6-7, 20015 class grad.Quote:

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.

so glad you're attending class with your husband. things go way better when the 2 of you are coming from the same place:) welcome
Live in Utah and attended the class over Memorial Day weekend with my father-in-law. Now we're looking at property in southern Idaho for our builds.
Welcome to the other side 12th man, we are in Spokane by way of Seattle. Own 10 acres outside of Spokane. Lots of info from Wa. Builders. We haven't started yet but you can glean a lot from so many builds on here.....Quote:

LHN, Not sure about Poppin' Fresh, especially coming from you...but I am taking the plunge. Only a little more than a month to class time. I can't wait. So, I will be reading old posts tonight.
