Introduce yourself

Dear LHBA-ers!

We are Maria & Slava. Originally from Russia (Moscow). Living in US ~20 years. We have been entertaining a log house dream since long time ago. Once I found Skip's site on the internet (back in 2004), it was clear to me that it's exactly what we've been looking for! We took a class from Skip in 2004 at his Monroe property, attended a couple of LBHA member meetings and also helped some guys on the building project. However, at that time it was obvious we were not ready (both financially & psychologically). We took our time to keep living the way we did and see where it goes . Finally, it "converged" to a strong desire to build... So, this year we started to make some moves . I quit my job and took another class from Ellseworth & Steve in LV. Currently we live in Seattle area, WA, but looking for a land near Sequim (Jefferson or Clallam county). We plan to start building next spring, if not earlier, as Sequim area doesn't have snow and seems to have bearable winter temperatures. Skip taught us not to rush, so we are not in a hurry. Thanks to all of you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge!!!

Cheers!
