We really recommend that you plan to attend a log home building school. There are lots of them out there to choose from, so again do your homework and choose the one that is right for you. Some of them range from 1 week of training all the way up to a month or more. While you may get a lot more hands on training at the schools that are several weeks long, we just couldn't afford to not be bringing in a paycheck for that long.
We narrowed it down to The Montana School of Log Building. We purchased the video course from him as well so that we can have a heads up of what we will be learning when we arrive and we can have questions ready for him too. We spend a lot of our down time watching and re-watching those videos. We will be taking the class in June, so we will make sure that we continue this post during and after the class. We feel that it is a good thing for everyone who is going to build their house like this to take a hands on class.
You can watch all of the movies and read all of the books that you want, but it doesn't hold a candle to getting hands on experience with someone who really knows what they are doing.
