Do you dream of building a log home?

But, you simply don't know where to begin?

Or maybe, you are overwhelmed from all the conflicting brochures, aggressive sales pitches, and seemingly infinite number of options?

Building a log cabin is a major time and financial commitment.

One mistake or oversight can cost you far more than the price of this valuable course.

You want to get it right... the first time.

Hi, I'm Noah Bradley... and I would like to help you achieve the home of your dreams!

Introducing The Log Cabin Academy!

Building a log cabin should be the fulfillment of a dream ... not the beginning of a nightmare.

Compare the Log Cabin Academy to any of the other options that are currently available:

You can of course... strike out on your own... having never built a log home before... but learning "the hard way" can quickly get expensive when undertaking a project as large and complex as a log house... and the results of such attempts... are often disappointing, and full of regrets.

Or... you could take a class from a "log home kit supplier"... those lectures are often merely a continuation of the sales process for a salesman's particular product... which explains why these classes are often free, or refundable upon the purchase of the overpriced log kit package.

Or... you could attend a "hands-on" pole-building school for a week or two... here you will spend thousands of dollars, and waste your precious vacation time, as you undertake strenuous unfamiliar labor, while experiencing travel fatigue, and working alongside people you might (or might not) like to be with... where you will labor on one small phase of a stranger's log home... all the while hoping you don't get seriously injured in the process. Yikes!

And then there is the option where you could sign-up for a weekend-long, hotel-lobby course (complete with lousy coffee)... where you will fly across the country to a large city, spend a thousand dollars or more on tuition (which is doubled if your mate comes along with you), not to mention airfare and accommodations... and don't forget!.. there is no recording allowed there!... so you had better take good notes!... and say a prayer that you remember everything when the time comes for you to build your log home! (and of course... you won't)

There just HAS to be a better way!

And fortunately, there is!...

The Log Cabin Academy!

This video course is yours to easily access... right now... or at any time... for LIFE!

Or maybe you aren't the "hands-on" type?

You want to learn how to properly construct a log cabin so that you can better work with your builder to achieve the perfect log home.

If so, this course is just right for you!

As an informed homeowner you can better partner with your builder to achieve your dream home (rather than ending up with the dream home that your builder has always wanted to have).

With this course you will gain confidence... perhaps enough so that you will consider taking on the role of an owner-builder!

The focus of this course will be in building a log cabin in the Traditional Manner (sometimes referred to as the "hewn method").

This time-tested method has proven itself to be durable enough to last for centuries, and simple enough that anyone can do it.

For over 300 years this was the most common method of building a home in the United States (until the introduction of fast-and-cheap modern framing).

We will also discuss other log construction methods as we go step-by-step through the construction of our "apprentice cabin" in the Log Cabin Academy.

The Log Cabin Academy will slowly walk you through the process of discovering your future home.

We will start with the basics in gaining a true respect and understanding of logs

and the wider ranging variety of characteristics of wood in general.

You will learn why log cabins appeal to us so deeply,

and how best not to lose your focus of these key elements as you build your home.

In the end you will be much more prepared to move forward on your cabin...

whether you venture into the woods for your logs,

or you salvage them from an abandoned structure,

or... if you choose to shop for them through a wholesale/retail log supplier.

Learn from The Expert on Traditional Log Construction

Choose the easiest, time-tested, and most attractive method to build your log home.

The vast majority of log homes in this country have been built in the traditional manner,

by individuals who had never built a home before.

The oldest traditionally-built log cabin in the U.S. (located in New Jersey) is now 400 years old!

There are 100,000's of these cabins standing today... most over two-centuries old!

Don't be mislead by claims of "new and improved" methods that claim to be "faster and cheaper"...

Such as the "butt-and-pass method". When has "faster and cheaper" ever proven to be better? McDonald's hamburger anyone?

Also, be weary of "round-pole' log cabins. Yes... if you live in Scandinavia this is the common method used there... a land where snowy days and frigid temperatures are the norm. But here in the warmer and more humid U.S. these types of cabins need a great deal of maintenance... as the years go by this regular upkeep expense has been known to eventually exceed the initial purchase price of the cabin's logs (not to mention the impact of gallons of toxic materials, leaching into the environment).

We urge you to consider the merits of Traditional Log Home Construction.

Join us in the Log Cabin Academy and start living the dream!

Together we will discover your authentic log cabin!.. not by trying to "reinvent the wheel", or by taking shortcuts, but by combining the best of the past with any improvements now offered by modern construction methods. The result will be that we will achieve the highest quality log home possible.

Many log cabin instructional programs focus almost entirely how to craft the logs... and that is important, but there is SO MUCH more to building a perfect log cabin. Things like... design... aesthetics... materials... and finish details.

While other log programs will spend a huge amount of time focused on soul draining details... from choosing a water heater, to calculating mortgage payments and insurance benefits. Boring!

In the Log Cabin Academy we carefully go through the process of crafting our log and their notches in such an easy to understand way that anyone can undertake this action for themselves if they desire to do so.

And, we skip right over the dry information that you can gather anywhere. (after all there are hundreds... or thousands... of YouTube videos on how to install a toilet)

Instead, we focus in The Log Cabin Academy course on helping you achieve the best design, using the most appropriate materials, with an eye on the smallest details, while revealing trade secrets that will allow you to obtain the most attractive and durable cabin possible!

"It is much easier to build a Log Cabin than it is to live with the regret of never having tried."

Long ago I lost track of the number of log cabins that I have designed, built, and/or restored... it's well over a hundred, mostly likely two or three hundred, I am sure.

During my career I have also had the privilege of studying thousands more of these vintage structures. They each have had their own special story to tell. And I have always been, an eager listener.

I would like to pass on to you what I have learned from these treasured homes, with the goal of helping you achieve a warm and comfortable log home.

The Log Cabin Academy is the result of decades of concentrated effort to build the best log homes possible, and from many months of focused effort in how best to pass this knowledge on to you, all at a low price which which I feel pales in comparison to the value you will receive from this course.

I have ventured into the woods on several occasions and built a home from what was found there. I have also built many log homes by using materials garnered from salvaged materials.

I have even assembled a log home kit-package (which was awarded "Log Home of the Year" by the leading magazine in the industry... go figure). Once was enough for me on that path... if you seek to build your home by using a log kit package, this course will go far in helping you discover the best options.

As a career builder I have incorporated the best that historic, modern, and alternative construction methods have to offer into each of my homes. In this course I have shared in great detail how I have built log homes.

I hope that you will consider joining me within the Log Cabin Academy and also consider the merits of upgrading to the all-inclusive membership that is the... Handmade House Guild.
