I joined this site for the logging info. To pay my way through college I went to a 16 week building school in Canada. Learned how to build log homes, timber framing, using natural stone to build foundations, fireplaces, and walls. Then during the summer I'd work on crews building high end timber frame or log retreats for the rich and famous in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Alaska, Washington, and Oregon. Logging goes hand in hand with that style of construction.

I'm graduating this semester with a bachelors in accounting. If I could turn the clock back 6 years (yeah, I took a few semesters off) I'd get a degree in forestry or something. I love construction, unfortunately the market isn't there right now, and being in the woods. I've doomed myself to being a cubicle dwelling bean counter for a huge conglomerate. Slowly having the life sucked out of me until I decide to hang myself in the bathroom with my tie. Maybe I'll work for Wal Mart and compund my misery. Actually I'm hoping to go to work for one of the mills or logging companies around here. I had a offer last year to work for a timber framer as his accountant and foreman. That evaporated along with his orders for new homes though. Bummer.

At least I can be a weekend warrior. I bought my own land and am going to build a house on it. Hope to log the materials myself as well. Timber frame all the way. Just me, a mallet, a chisel and a pile of logs. Heaven.

you are my new hero!
except for the accountant-bean-counting-hang-with-tie part.
me a mallet a chisel and a pile of logs. how i wish!

best of luck to you.

What started as a way to save some money has now turned in to an addiction, cutting gathering, stacking etc. Great excercise/stress relief. Heating with wood is great, it is an addiction that is the solution, not the problem.

:agree2:
I came here AFTER CAD had already begun. We were having a new house buil on 14 wooded acres, and lots of cleanup to do. Cutting and moving wood is defintely hard work, and a natural stress reliever.

You're a lucky sombeach with those dual skills to start out. Life in the ratrace sucks, but logging and construction is hard work.
