welcome back, Donny
Hello everyone,
I've been lurking for years, and FINALLY decided not just to register for the forum, but ALSO to sign up for the class! My wife (Tina) and I are registered for the September class.
I'm excited and scared at the same time.

Welcome! I graduated in the February 13-14 class. I felt the same way. Yesterday, I cut down 4 more trees, and now I think I have 26 total. I'm still excited and scared, but LHBA members are the nicest and most supportive group of people I've ever associated with, so you can relax about that. Best of luck to you.

Thanks! There's so much here, even on the non-members side to learn from. I haven't posted any questions yet, because I have so many. :-) Plus, I'm just trying to pick up what I can from others asking many the same questions I have too. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of what others have done (either pictures or in person eventually).
Thanks again!

Oh, and I'm not able to edit my profile to provide a little more bio info. Does that just come with time (like does my account need to be activated in some way, you think)?
I think so. It wouldn't let me add a photo until I was a member.

I like watching a longtimelurker turn the corner. It reaffirms what I have always known... the system works.
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.
*member = took the class, entered the dark side of the forum....

haha. LongTimeLurker. Maybe I should have made that my username. It's SO fitting. :-)
Btw, mudflap, I started looking through your blog, but have to stop. I'm supposed to be working, so I'll pick it up later. Great read though, and I can't wait to see your cabin when it's all said and done!
Thank you. One step at a time. If I think too far ahead, I get overwhelmed.

Hello all!
My name is Pete and I am planning on attending class this Sept with my wife Kelley. currently living in Washington state.
Hi Pete!
Extra characters to meet limit.
Good Afternoon Pete,
Where in Washington are you and Kelly from? My wife and I have property near Lake Wenatchee? I have not gotten her to commit to the class yet.
Be Safe, Scott
You oughta be saying Hi to Rod... The only reason he joined is cause they needed extra characters to meet the limit.Originally Posted by Arrowman
Yeah, Pete.... Go ahead and attend class, we need you to balance out Rod.
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.

Welcome Pete, Hopefully, we'll get to meet in person in September at the class!
Thanks for the warm welcome, we just finished making reservations; class,hotel etc.. Im more excited then my wife at this point but she is warming up to the idea more and more��
welcome to the family, Pstarr7
Hello, Kelley here with Pstarr7, here in Eastern Washington. I'm excited, & nervous about this venture, and looking forward to the class!

Hello P and K! Getting excited for the class over here too!
Been talking with my husband and we like the idea others are doing of building a small cabin onsite to live in during the build. It'd be approximately the same size as our trailer but sturdy and WARM and keep the critters out, none of which applies to our trailer. Plus the cost is manageable and we can get our hands dirty without the complications of longer walls, more RPSLs, etc. Since we made that decision we are both so excited to get started because it all seems so much less overwhelming. At least for now
I hadn't thought of building a small log home first. Where do you live while are you are building that one? We are trying to decide wether to build on what we have now, or sell and move to a piece of land with usable trees, that has a basic, functional little mobile to live in while we build. We are drooling over all the pictures of student built homes right now. Very cool!Hello P and K! Getting excited for the class over here too!

Kelley, we are living in a trailer on my in-laws property here in Wyoming. They built a huge LHBA log house so we see it every day and it has inspired us to do so too. We have a piece of land under contract a few miles away so we thought of staying in the trailer but with 5 young kids running around we're anxious to get out of here!
I've heard people talking about building a little cabin first and living there, then building a bigger home. Then the cabin becomes guest quarters.
Hi all, new to the forum but I took the class 12 years ago (still trying to track records down to get on the members side). Anyway, just wanted to say "hi." I have a few questions related to an existing cabin that I'm looking at (way more backstory) so I'll begin a new thread for that. Preliminarily though, and yes I will get repetitive, I really want to help someone for a day or weekend if anyone is building within 5-8 hours of Northern Utah. Just throwing it out there if anyone needs help with anything. I have a few tools, grew up on a farm (can operate heavy machinery), worked construction and did carpentry for awhile before switching gears to work in education. So, seriously, I have a somewhat flexible schedule and could get away for a little bit if anyone needs an extra hand.
welcome home, Swine.
I wish you lived closer to our build; we could use the help
Hi Swine!
I have three swine of my own, going to eat at least one of them this winter. Sorry, I have no idea where that came from...
You are in luck. I think there are a couple of log homes going up soon in the N. Utah area. I know TAG is building in Bear Lake area, and I am going to be building soon in the Uintas. (3 hours from Logan). I will definitely keep you posted as work progresses. I would never turn down a helping hand!
