I often thought about this as viewed from a non-member's perspective, of exactly what the member's section holds, as it simply shows nothing at all when not logged in as one. Well here's a little teaser for those on the fence for taking the class.

As of the time of this posting, there are 2,152 topics, involving 18,730 posts in the member's section. Most members say the member's section is as of great a value as the class, if not more so.

So those of you still riding the fence, be sure to sign up for the email notification of future classes.

(btw, I gain nothing by making this post. I just enjoy poking tigers with sticks) :oP

great idea

I think thats a great idea. Maybe post some of the titles of the threads from our Private-Secret Handshake-VIP Club-Blood Brother (and Sisters)Member Section to show newcomers some of the topics we discuss. I think it would be very impressive and show how in-depth the LHBA forum goes.

Beautiful Model!!

Rod, I just finished looking at all your pix for your scale model and was wondering what your base dimensions will be for the real deal? Your model is absolutely exquisite!! Very, very impressive!

Thanks AnneG. First though,

Thanks AnneG. First though, please let it be clear to all newcomers, that my model is built far beyond the necessary extent one needs to be built. It was a bit of a run away train that turned into the final product you have seen. Anyhow, my intent is for the real thing to be 35x35.

Wow Ellsworth, that is a big pool of good folks!

I'm in a tiger-poking mood, so . . . .

The current totals for the member's area are: 3,348 topics consisting of 31,915 post. In fact, there are more topics in the member's section "Members forum" alone, than the entire public section.

Looking forward to seeing

Looking forward to seeing pictures ramblinman. :-)

Chad, I all kinds of ideas for the boom crane already, including lifting wall logs. Too bad it's not as big as Claire's/Steve's, but for what I paid, I'm certainly not complaining.

Hey Rod,

it might be to late, but the last few pictures in your album (and number 7) show a shady guy trying to sneak in and jack your stuff, you might want to take a head count on tools next time you start your model....

Don't sit back and wait for trouble...

Get yourself some professional help and put a stop to those thieving marauders. Works on mice too.

We recently had a problem

We recently had a problem with our house we're selling. SQUIRRELS. They tore through the fascia boards in one area of the house and started running amok in the attic.

Since we're inside the city limits there, I couldn't use the trusty (rusty?) ol' .22 caliber. Instead, I used a Coleman air rifle with about 15 pumps in the cylinder. I took down four squirrels with that thing - all guilty, either heading into or out of the hole in the roofline. Now, we're paying for some repair work on the place to eliminate the damage and block other potential squatters.

This weekend, my wife and I were talking about the experience, and I commented that 2x4 bird/squirrel blocks in the roofline of a log house wouldn't have let squirrels in as easily as that thin stuff on the side of the house. She said, "True, but then you wouldn't have brunswick stew on the stove."

I love a country girl.
