Hey, we finally took the class this past February 18th and 19th! We have been busy trying to figure out the land situation and where we are hopefully going to get our logs! Figured it was past time to introduce ourselves! We are in northern Indiana (referred to as Michiana-border of MI and IN). We are hoping to be able to break ground in about a month! We are currently living in an RV (BRRR!!) with a 2 yr old, and now another on the way, so we are going to need to build, build, BUILD! lol

Hello, Steve,
I took the class in February and would like to purchase the bundle.

Where do I find the products on this website.
I have browsed the site but most places I go tell me that my account is not activated.

Any help?

We just sent you an email with those details... if you need more help send us an email at info@buildloghomes.org.

Now that's the setup we need!! That would have seen us through those negative temps perfectly!!

Where's the fresh air exchanger on that stove? Have to be energy efficient, Rod....

**rreidnauer** · 03-07-2017, 07:47 AM

I've seen it done several ways. Another member built a mudroom off the side of his motor home, put a woodstove in it, and jut leaves the motor home door open. Convection currents cause hot air to go in the motor home, and cold air to pour into the mudroom. Works like a dream. I saw another couple on YouTube who put the whole trailer in a portable garage, with a big wood burner at the back end, heating the RV, garage, and all!

Hello everyone.... first time poster, long time dreamer. Actually my wife would say professional dreamer. But here I am...just got back from southern Colorado looking at land and I am signed up for the class in may. We will be buying land next month and setting up camp on it and starting to clear it and put in well and septic. I am really excited about the class and look forward to this adventure or as our family likes to call it "this insanity". Anyway....hello again to everyone.

**loghousenut** · 03-09-2017, 03:18 PM

Well, you are clearly nuts. Welcome home.

Keep us posted. After you have taken the class, you may want to start your own thread documenting your home build. Good Luck

Welcome Ccgclark!
We just took the class Feb. 17-18. We are dreamers with you, and we believe these dreams will come true.

**bbreland19** · 04-18-2017, 07:49 AM

Hi all. Just signed up for the May 27/28 class, booked and ready to go. This has been a dream of my wife and I for over 20 years. We're looking forward to getting started on the process. Look forward to meeting others at the class.

I don't know what she's talking about.

The only issues I recall is my brother is the king of thread hi-jacking.

There you go again Bo. Nice peaceful thread congratulating folks for having the foresight to go to the class and take their future into their own two hands, and darned if you don't go and comandere it for your own nefarious (look it up, Bo) and misguided devices.

Love, Ron.

Yeah, and that too.

I think.

Whatever it was you said.

Sort of.

That was a compliment, wasn't it?

Thanks, I think.

Finally got most of the stuff done that needed to get done before I could even start thinking about my own house. September class, here I come! (And I get to visit my godparents in Sacramento as well!) \o/

I know it's months off, but I'm starting to get really excited now!

**loghousenut** · 06-12-2017, 10:06 PM

We're waiting for you Gina. Keep an eye on Bo.

**panderson03** · 06-13-2017, 03:48 PM

glad you're jumping in Gina

**loghousenut** · 06-13-2017, 11:31 PM

I am most certainly NOT jumping on Gina!

That's the kinduva rumor that we can't afford in my household.

**loghousenut** · 06-13-2017, 11:32 PM

Oh... jumping IN

never mind

But I think I did start it by saying I was getting excited.

On another note, I am constantly seeing trucks full of logs go by every time I drive somewhere nowadays. Such a tease! (I am currently in South Georgia but I hope to build in northern Vermont. Lots of white pine down here, I guess.)

**Tirnan** · 06-25-2017, 12:21 PM

Grant (Tirnan) here,

I probably introduced myself when I joined about a year ago.

I have been quietly reading the public forums off and on the past year. My wife and I are excited to be going on this adventure. We hope to be heading to Vegas this September along with one of my sons and possibly my daughters fiance.

We know where we want to end up (Idaho Falls, ID area) and have potential work there. Now it is just a matter of putting it all together via some classroom knowledge.

LOL !!! you're going to fit in well here, Gina!

**panderson03** · 07-01-2017, 06:39 PM

welcome back, Grant!

**wolfiebear** · 07-09-2017, 10:09 AM

Hey. . .Inga here, and I live up high in Colorado, above Leadville . . .home of the Unsinkable Molly Brown!

I'm pretty artsy fartsy and into playing keyboards, but I used to be in architecture too and I think it's still in my blood.

Anyway, I'm looking to buy land and build.

I've got money… Ive got desire… I'm looking for somebody to team up with to make more money building for self and/or sale, as I am temporarily semi disabled. I'll get better again but the question is how long will it take … And I'm ready to go now.

I already made a post on this, but am not finding it, so I am posting about it here too. ;-)

Cheers,
