Hi Kent, no I have not built my cabin yet currently I have 5.8 acers that I plan to build on. Right now I am gradualy clearing the land and trying to envision how I want everything to be. Also tyring to get rid of what little debt I have so I can do this without a mortgage! I have helped on one of out association members cabins in Ala and Ky and it is very hard but rewarding work. I will keep you posted as things slowly progress. Oh, I love the different small house Ideas on this blog, lots of kool stuff!! Oh, since you have my email feel free to contact me.

Hi Michael – Thanks for your input, I would sure enjoy taking that class and enjoy hearing from those who have. Have you built a cabin or a house?

HI to all I took the class in 2006 and I for one really enjoyed it. As mentioned in one of the post above the walk up the hill is very vertical, but I was warned about the climb so no biggie, the current classes are not held at Skip’s log house, he passed away but classes are still held just check out the log home builders associaton website. I did not get any anti govt stuff from the class, just what if I decided to do this, again you get out of it what you want, and also a money back if not satisified soo?? As far as this supposed holy war on butt and pass verses full scribe, I suppose some may consider it as that, but most of us who go thru the class like the simplicity of stack the logs, pin the logs cutt out windows and door holes and chink the logs, verses fully and correctly scribing a log much more tedious. And as a side note Skip did build a fully scribed log house, more then one, but peffered b&p for speed and simpilcity.

At one time I contemplated taking Skip’s class, but the more I have read about it the more I am disinclined to do so. I don’t think its fruitful to get too involved in the holy war that seems to be going on with advocates of Butt & Pass vs. Full Scribe other than to say that its a bit disingenuous to enunciate the drawbacks of one method without mentioning the drawbacks of another. I am not too crazy about the apparent suggestion that one attempt to skirt local laws as well. Lastly, it would be helpful if the assertion that a 12″ diameter log has R-48 could be referenced. The University of Alaska Fairbanks Coop Extension Service in documents EEM-00852 and EEM-04756 suggests R-values no where near that high.

Hi,
I took the the class early in 2007. It still pisses me off with that walk up the hill. Another thing that i did not care for was there political view of our goverment and different products out there we should not use because they didnt like them. Stick to the log building,that is what people payed for.
