    Flight RN, then call the man. Nice guy.

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

    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.

    Hey everone, I just went through the june 6-7 class and must say it was well worth every penny. Right now im in the research phase of the whole project, looking for the right land etc. Im in the Walla Walla Washington area and am curious if there is anyone building in the general area. 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.

    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.

    Log home dream

    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.

    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.

    Dan

    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.....

    Judy, first my sympathies to you on the loss of your husband. Continue with your dream & with some help & manageable size you can make it happen. Rachel Bieber did..... Check out her blog. Use search engine with her name. You will find it inspiring & hopefully give you the push to believe in your own capabilities! You took the first step by finding us on LHBA

    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.
