How to get into the member's section

[Admin]

If you are a member of The Log Home Builder's Association of North America (meaning you have taken one of our classes) you can get into the member's area just by asking. Please wait until after you have attended a class until you proceed with the steps below.

IF YOU ATTENDED AN IN-PERSON CLASS:

To get access to the members area:

1. Sign up for a forum account if you haven't already done so. You can do that here.
2. If you sign up for a new account, the forum will send you an email. Click the link in your email to activate your account.
3. Make sure you are logged into your forum account
4. Follow this link and fill out the form: Access Request Form
5. Click Submit at the bottom

All access requests are processed manually, so sometimes it will be a few days before you are approved for access to the members forum.

If you get an error when you follow the link above, it means you aren't logged into a fully-activated user account. Check your email and click the activation link first. If you signed up for a forum account but never received an email, you should check your spam folder for an email from us.

IF YOU ATTENDED OUR ONLINE CLASS:

1. Watch the video located here and follow the instructions

After you submit an access request, we may email you for additional documentation of your status as a member of the association. For instance, you may be asked to email in a picture of your membership card, so don't lose your card!

It would be very helpful if you would use the access request feature shortly after attending the class. If you wait till sometime next decade to send in an access request, then researching your membership status can take a very long time.

As always, feel free to email us (info at lhba.com) if you need assistance with this process.

Thank you for allowing me to use this forum to help me in the construction of my Dream Log Home. It gives me access to Great Persons with the same drive and love of life I have. Keep up the good work to all concerned. Neil

I am a member but have never been able to get on the members side of this site. I've tried. Help? Class of March 2013 Las Vegas.

2LG, You'll get into the members section after the class.

Da... I'm still writing 2013 on my checks.... and should never respond until after my 1st cup of coffee. See you on the members side soon 2LG!

2logdogs: Have you followed step 4 above? We don't seem to have an upgrade request form for your account. That's the place to start.

Isn't this Skip guy from Monroe WA? I live about 30 miles from Monroe and just curious. Thanks anyone who knows if I'm right about that. I thought he gave classes in Monroe WA in the old days.

[CascadeJohn]

Looks like I was right, but further research shows he passed away in 2008, so I am sorry I was unaware of his passing and that must be why they are doing the classes in Las Vegas now. I have heard about him from old timers in the Seattle area and I am pretty sure he was out in Monroe. Maybe he sold off all the log cabin stuff out there? Is there any classes still in Monroe or in the Seattle area? Thanks, and sorry to read about his passing in 2008.

Mr. John,

Things have changed as much as they have stayed the same. I first learned about Skip's class from a flier nailed up at the auction barn in Snohomish, back in the early 80's when I lived in Sultan. Same outfit now but Skip is but a heartfelt legacy.

The LHBA of today is more worldwide that the old LHBANA of yesterday. Same time-trued teachings and same two-day course with a lifetime membership, but more user friendly to long distance members. The class is usually held someplace that is easy to jet into, like Vegas. Then, instead of a monthly meeting, there is the member's side of this forum. That's what really get's the job done. The system works. Tell your friends.


Oh, by the way... I took the class from Skip, as did my Wife. It changed our lives and now, after all these years I am still getting help, knowledge, and encouragement from members close and far. There's a lot of Skip here at our place in southern Oregon.

I followed the link to get onto the members forum but have not yet received a confirmation email...it's probably been a week. I took Skip's class in Monroe, WA, in 1999 with my husband...think it was the first half of the year because we broke ground on our log home that fall. Would appreciate any assistance to be able to get on the member's forum. Thanks!

[panderson03]

hi there Plum. welcome to the forums
following the link is exactly what you needed to do.
one of the admin's will get back to you soon. no doubt they're all out working on their own builds at the moment, trying to get as much done as they can before snow fall

hang tight.
glad you're here

Your story, pictures and quick wit are encouragement and inspiration to a lot of people here including myself and the reason lots of folks stay around and take the class. I would like to personally thank you for all the quick replies and emails that kept me hanging on for several years until the stars aligned and schedules worked out so I could attend the class.. . 2 thumbs up sir!

[loghousenut]

You are too kind. Thank You for putting up with me and my baloney.






PS... I hesitate to add that, if it is written it can not technically be classified as "quick" wit. Anything that someone my age posts on this forum is most likely backed up slowly by four or five meandering trips through the internet. Additionally, more than once I have been awaken from a nap and forced to delete all those "ZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzz's" that a sleeping elbow has typed.

Still, it is nice to hear the sentiment.

[rreidnauer]

I'm really glad and appreciative that LHN is here too. It's nice to have someone I can point my finger at when admin gets upset with me for something I did wrong.

[bensanders]

Hi,

I sent in a request form shortly after the Sep16 class without any response so I sent another one a few weeks ago. I was hoping to get into the forums for a build I am working on now. I have finished my first pier form and had some questions about it. I also have 80 logs laying on the ground that I am working on getting off the ground, debarked and treated but I have some questions on that too since they've been on the ground for a year...

Any help to get on forums would be greatly appreciated. I am kind of winging it for now with the floor plans and the LHBA class workbook...

Thanks,

Ben

[panderson03]

hi there. if it were me, I'd email info@buildloghomes.org
welcome to the family!

[Axeman15]

Thank you Steve.. now that I have completed the class.. thank you both, can I have permission to be a part of the members pages?
Thank you .

I followed instructions, I'm asking

[panderson03]

welcome to the family, Axeman

[Mark Crum]

I, Mark Crum, attended the class June 4 & 5 of of 2016. I went through the online procedure and it stated that I did what was necessary, but when I go to the members forum I am told that I don't access. What do I need to do? I am not sure where my member card is located.

Hi Mark,

You have one step remaining (item number 4 on the list above). Please fill out this upgrade request form.

After you fill that out, click submit and be patient for a few days while we locate your records and upgrade your account.

[loghousenut]

It'll be worth the wait.

[wolfiebear]

Just testing to see if I can finally use the memberes area and that it is working properly

[donjuedo]

Well, you posted your test in the Public section. Under your name, I still see "Regular User", so more waiting lies ahead. :-)

[Windwalker]

I haven't been on here since we built our log home - been pretty busy.
Went to the class ahhh, 10 years ago? (My wife would know) -but its been a long time and we are pondering building another.
Also would like to send my son thru the class.
In the mean time I would like to edit our profile and have access to the members section. What do I need to do that?

Thank you very much
