Hi Steve- Cute little boy in your pic! My husband Rick and I attended "The" class May 30th and 31st. 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.
