This is not an introduction, but I couldn't find a thread for quick questions. Do LHBA members usually install the plumbing and electrics themselves or do you let a professional do it?
I plan to install nearly all of both. I built a home in 2008 and did all the electrical, 90% of the plumbing, and nearly all the hvac (had help running the hard duct). What I hope to get out of the class are the tips to doing this work in a log home, and since I'll be on a raised floor the plumbing should be straightforward. Getting plumbing and hvac to the loft is where I need guidance. Even thought about a package unit so I run everything under the floor, then a duct running up to the loft to dump air there.
We paid a plumber to do everything below the floor. We'll most likely do the rest.
The plumber recommended an electrician and I paid him way less than he was worth to come out and walk us though it all and kinda map out the circuits on our plans. He never cut a wire and yet was probably the best money spent on our build.
Every time I have strayed from the teachings of Skip Ellsworth it has cost me money.
I love the mask mandate. I hardly ever have to bruh my teeth anymore.
Hello, went to the class back in 07. We picked up 10 acres in North central Idaho last summer and will break ground in a few weeks. We're in a county with no building codes! Planning on at least two possibly up to four cabins. I'll get lots of practice that way. I've been going back over all the teaching notes and reading all the posts so I'm excited to get started.

I'd guess the property is in Idaho County so FYI a link to permit info; http://idahocounty.org/commissioners...permit-system/. Good luck and it is a great area.

Actually Benewah county. Kind of getting back to my roots as I grew up in Coeur d' Alene.
