GRADUATES OF SKIP'S SEMINAR OFTEN VOLUNTEER TO PROVIDE "FREE LABOR" TO PEOPLE WHO ARE BUILDING LOG HOMES.
THE FREE LABOR IS REMINISCENT OF THE "LOG HOME RAISING" AND "LOG BARN RAISING" PARTIES THAT WERE ONCE AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR AMERICAN HERITAGE.
We hear that a lot people have gotten their log homes built without ever touching a tool.
We also hear that people in wheel chairs have attended Skip's class – and they have ended up with beautiful log homes that were built with volunteer labor.
People generally volunteer their free labor for the following reasons:
1. Many people attend the seminar when they are still quite young (attending high-school, college, etc. ?) and it is understood that they might not have property of their own for several years.
2. After graduating from the seminar, they want to start working on a log home immediately simply because it's fun to build log homes.
3. Graduates are almost always eager to try out their newly acquired knowledge.
IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!
THERE ARE USUALLY MORE VOLUNTEERS (willing to provide free labor) THAN THERE ARE LOG HOMES FOR THEM TO WORK ON.
ELSEWHERE IN THIS WEBSITE, THERE IS MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF "FREE LABOR." WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CHECK IT OUT.
