September 2006 - Taking the class

So, while we were waiting to close escrow on the property, Jeff spent a lot of time reading about building log homes. Of course, he came across the Log Home Builders Association website and it didn't take much convincing, this was how he wanted to build our log home. He signed up for the next available course in September 2006 and began to plan a trip to Washington. We had wanted to make a road trip of it, spend time in Washington where neither of us had been, and see the log homes my family built in Ashland, Oregon on the way. But, we were getting married Sept 16th, moving shortly after, and I had just too much to do to make the trip. Looking back, I regret this now and wish I had gone along. But, Jeff attended Skip's course and learned a lot. He returned confident and excited to get started. He also came back loving Seattle area and talking about plots of land there. Too late...
