What log home building method lasts the longest?

March 5, 2012 by LogHomes Editor

The butt and pass method is the strongest, the easiest to build, and it will last the longest. There are scientific reasons why this is the case. There is no room for ‘opinion’ about this — because the facts speak for themselves.

Is it possible to built a three story log home?

March 5, 2012 by LogHomes Editor

Yes. In fact, Skip’s log home has three stories.

It is interesting to note that Skip’s three-story log home is located within 1,000 yards of the 5.7 earthquake that occurred near Seattle, Washington on May, 1996. There was no damage at all to the house.

Is it possible to borrow money from a bank to build a log home?

March 5, 2012 by LogHomes Editor

Yes.

Is it possible to earn a good living building “real” log homes to sell?

March 5, 2012 by LogHomes Editor

Yes.

One of our members recently made over $160,000 PROFIT on his first log home.

In our opinion, the knowledge of how to build log homes can be much more valuable than an ‘average’ college education.

To make money building log homes, you might consider the following four-step approach:

  • Build one log home and sell it for enough money to build two log homes.
  • Build two log homes and sell them for enough money to build four log homes.
  • Build four log homes and sell them for enough money to build eight log homes.
  • Build eight log homes and sell them – BUT DO NOT ACCEPT CASH. Instead of taking cash, take a small down payment from each purchaser and carry your own paper for the balance. This would mean that eight different people might be paying you approximately $1,000 to $1,500 per month – or more. This plan has the potential of generating a monthly income of between $8,000 and $12,000.

Is it possible to purchase logs inexpensively?

March 5, 2012 by LogHomes Editor

Yes. One of our members, Chris Hizer, recently purchased logs from a source we discuss in our seminar for 50 cents per tree — and he was able to get two logs from each tree.

In other words, Chris paid 25 cents per log. Apparently he built a nice cabin for under $1,000 (total cost).

What our students say

As expected this was an absolutely awesome week end. Thanks to both Ellsworth and Steve who did a great job to fan the embers that Skip had initially set back in the eighties when I first took the class. The info they share will help many in the future find freedom from the home mortgage shackles that is presently considered the norm. Bless you both.
