I'm looking at joining the LHBA and taking the class, when I can find a date/time that works with our schedule. In looking at many different sites for log building schools, I am curious why the LHBA class is only 2 days? I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about the 2 days - really only great things. So if 2 days is great, what would a week or 2 weeks be? I'd be willing to stay and learn, and pay more for the time...

Just a suggestion

Have a great day!

Yea, the class really does

Yea, the class really does cover pretty much everything that possibly needs explanation without direct hands on. Granted, the class doesn't delve deeply into utilities and interior framing/finishing, but in reality it would be very time consuming to get into (the many facets) of that, and it really has nothing to do with log home construction anyhow.

The real advantage of the class is to get the primary principles and basics down, along with what pitfalls to avoid. The hands-on comes from helping out someone else into their building process. The arrangement is symbiotically advantageous and costs both parties very little. It's a system hard to beat.

With LHBA's time tested methods since 1965, there's not much to improve on.
