Seattle, WA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) November 30, 2004 –- The Log Home Builder's Association of North
America announces two new classes for owner-builders who want to build log homes
and log cabins from scratch. The two-day classes will be held January 15th and
16th and January 19th and 20th, 2005. Each class includes all of the information
an owner-builder would need to know to build log homes from scratch (without a
log home kit). Registration is available on the association's web site at http://www.loghomebuilders.org/.
The class is taught at
the association's ranch near Seattle, Washington in a nearly 7,000 square foot
log home. The same log home was used in the filming of the television series
"Northern Exposure" (as the home of retired astronaut Maurice Minnifield, played
by actor Barry Corbin).
"It is amazing what you can learn in just two
days," said Rebecca Fernandez, a student who attended the class last winter with
her husband Mark. "We are currently building our log home and it's hard to
believe how easy it is. If we can do it, anyone can." Rebecca and Mark recently
bought land in North Carolina and began building their log home. "We bought the
land with owner financing and only $1500 down, and we're paying for the house as
we go," added Mark. "So when it's finished we won't have any mortgage at
all."
In addition to teaching the craft of log home building, The Log
Home Builder's Association of North America shows students how to use pioneering
techniques to build their home from scratch without a log home kit. Many of the
association's members have built their log homes without a mortgage. "You don't
need a crane to build a log home," said Steve White, one of the association's
instructors. "The pioneers came up with ingenious techniques for lifting logs
that work great for today's log homes."
"We also reveal common mistakes
and shortcuts that many log home kit builders use to save time and money," added
Ellsworth, another association instructor. "Anyone considering buying a log home
kit should know about these mistakes in order to buy the best log home for the
least amount of money."
The two-day class is offered periodically
throughout the year to students who fly in from around the world to learn the
craft of building their own log home. The cost of the class is included in the
association's lifetime membership fee of $495.
