I was not sure, at first, because I recalled the domain name change for the LHBA. But after taking a closer look at the renegade site, I posted a bit of detailed info, and had a hunch that might hasten "corrective action". :-)

Yes, you don't want to post dangerous links and you don't want to hijack threads. Be careful not to do what The Nut does.

Hey everyone, I'm new here and wanted to say hello to everyone. I live in the Northeast Florida area and have recently come across this forum. I'm very interested in taking the class and learning the skills that it has to offer, but don't think I'll be able to make it to the February 20th 21st class due to funds. I hope to be able to save up and make it out to the next one. Anyone know how often they have them? I did sign up for the list, but wasn't sure if there was a rhythm to there occurrence. Also, anyone else in the northeast Florida area with a current cabin under construction?
Hey Dude!
Don't worry. They're multiple every year. You won't miss anything. Well, until after the weekend. Then you'll know some of what you didn't know, get it?

Yo Dude!
I, loghousenut, winner of the coveted Golden Wooly Poodle Award, wish to unofficially welcome you to the forum. Class happens irregularly several times each year and you're gonna love it. You probably won't learn any new skills, but I'd bet you will unhinged the part of your bran that has doubts about your abilities.
You can build your own log home with your own hands. LHBA can unlock it in you.
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.
OK! It's official I am signed up for Feb. 20th class. Working on air and hotel now but I will be there with pens and pencils ready to learn.

Congrats Louisiana, you're going to a class that will forever change your life for the good!
And NatureDude, I think there is a member that has a completed home in northern Florida. Someone around here probably knows who.
Oh, and almost forgot... If you can figure out what LogHouseNut was trying to say, you'll be just fine
I must have missed that part. What part of Bran is about doubts about our abilities?
Oh wait! Now I get it.

Hello! I am Tarmo, log house builder and timber framer from Estonia, North-Europe. Looking for new contacts and grateful discussions.
Greetings forum members! My name is Scott and I'm a first-time poster even though I've been checking out the LHBA for a few years now. I just signed up for the Feb. 20-21 class in Vegas...very excited about it! Look forward to interacting more in the forums with ya'll in the future.
Hi..Have read countless forums here, looked at many many member build photos, youtube, etc etc. My wife and I are finally signed up..going to the Feb 20-21 class. VERY Excited. We are both in upper 50's, I'm retired Air Force, and going to retire from the Railroad in next 3-4 years. Against countless advise against it on the forums, have bought 20 acres in Northern California. Our land is next my daughters property, and my son lives in the general area. So family is trumping all the negatives. I figure other people have built in Northern CA, somehow...just more BS, so not impossible. Could not find a class thread for the Feb 20-21 class.
Welcome aboard Scott and Gking! Where do you two live?

Hello Lognut...We are in eastern Nebraksa...Omaha area. I couldn't figure out how to add a location and Avitar to my profile. I have been lurking on here for many years, but just registered this year. Maybe I have to wait for administar permission ?
Just introducing myself. I am considering the 2/20/16 class. I am a carpenter by trade with experience in all trades. I am a licensed general contractor in Sarasota, Florida as well as a roofing contractor and home inspector. I specialize in building luxury waterfront homes that are ultra efficient. I'm looking to retire to the mountains in a few years and I hope to build my own log home.
My current skill set gives me an edge on the MEP systems and finish but I might as well be a fish trying to fly when it comes to log construction.
So, where is that northern California acreage?

Which mountains are you looking to move to?
Hello, loghousenut. I'm in Kitsap county, about 20 miles north and west of Seattle, just across the Puget Sound.
Humboldt County
Some of the last open green beauty found in CA. Look forward to watching/helping your journey. By the way, they won't lower your class grade because you already bought your land or because you're from CA.
Welcome aboard.

Thanks! Look forward to knowing what I didn't know I was missing!Hey Dude!

Thanks for the unofficial welcome hehe, am excited to hop into one of them, hopefully in the upcoming 2016 year.
Are the 'member forums' more active than the open forums? Also, why is there such secrecy behind this method? I find it strange they don't sell books, DVDs, or things of the sort with the information. Why must you attend the class in Vegas? If it's just a classroom setting, it's not like the information is anything that couldn't be taught via DVD or read in a book, minus the Q and A's, but there is the forum for that. Please don't think I'm knocking the organization in any way, it sounds completely awesome and I totally want to take the class, I just don't understand why there seems to be a veil of secrecy that you can only pass through by taking the class. Can anyone explain? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the welcome. This is our building site. Septic is already in. Will be off the grid with solar, possible seasonal hydro, still have to log wind speeds for possible wind power. Masonary heater, etc etc.
Well..posted picture from flickr account...maybe I did it wrong?

A couple of things. The class is the starting line. You get your briefing and that starts you on the path. There is no way to provide all the info during a 2 day class. But that is where you meet our leaders and where you become part of the family.
The Member Only section is where the details are. Kind of like a book of knowledge but more like an interactive one. There is someone (or plenty of someones) that will deal in more of the details. We really teach and help each other. There are so many variables that it is easier to get the correct info interactively.
Does that help? There is a Class Workbook you get. But without Steve and E teaching the class and answering many, many questions (save them for Sunday).
It's been successful for more years than I know and it's morphed into what it is today. At one time, the class was taught (as I'm told) helping to build a log home. A hands on affair. But that had many limits and what we have today is something special.

That does make sense. It seemed that two days was a bit short for such a massive amount of information, but makes sense that the class would be the 'intro' and the forums the details. Thanks for the reply! #TwoThumbsUp
