May 15, 2009
June 19, 2009
September 11, 2009

Our National Headquarters in Moss, Tennessee is hosting several Construction Seminars in 2009. These one-day seminars on Fridays are targeted to conventional and log home builders. They review in detail some of the differences in building with log, and offer tips and techniques with our specific log systems. These seminars are only open to current customers and their builders. Please contact Jack Hutslar for more information.

DIYs - So, you're ready to start building that Honest Abe home you've just purchased? Not until you attend the Honest Abe Construction Seminar. Open to the serious do-it-yourselfers [DIYs], these seminars cover subjects like site prep, package delivery, material storage and more.

This full-day seminar blends technical classroom instruction with practical construction experience. Learn about the quality material used in our homes, as well as building methods and tools utilized in the construction process. Get yourself a front row seat and ask our experienced Honest Abe personnel all those technical questions you've been wondering about.

The Construction Seminar is open to new customers who have already purchased a log package and are not using a subcontractor through Honest Abe.

Not doing the actual work yourself? Then we invite your builder to attend and become familiar with our custom log system.

The tuition for the Construction Seminar is $25 per person (limit two people per customer). Class size is limited and available on a first come, first server basis. Contact Jack Hutslar.

These demonstrations allow you to see first-hand how an Honest Abe Log Home is built from the ground up. We'll show you how to assemble the floor system, join together the walls, create window and door openings, install beams and ceilings, and apply the roof system, including soffits and fascia.

In addition to the demonstration, you will also learn about the care and maintenance of a log home, take a tour of our manufacturing facility and have the opportunity to speak with the people involved in the Honest Abe Log Home process. Many members of our own staff of engineers, designers and sales representatives will be on hand to answer any questions you may have. We also invite various supply vendors to further explain the intricate details of erecting an Honest Abe Log Home.

Your new home and the current market

.
In the past five to 10 years, we have all seen some odd things occur in our treasured economic market. Big name companies have been bought out and sold, much to our surprise. In the past few months, well known companies have closed their doors, stopped making deliveries, reorganized their financial structures, and most surprisingly, filed for bankruptcy. Financial institutions are struggling, so they say. Automakers are struggling. News organizations are losing subscribers. Of course, we all know of the real estate problems due to what many believe were government mandated loans given to home buyers who could not afford to pay their mortgages.

These situations may make us question the wisdom of investing in a new home, not to mention a log home. In reality, this is an unbelievably good time to invest in land and homes. Mortgage money is available and interest rates are quite low. Given that, I wish to make a statement for you about the financial health of our primary supplier, Honest Abe Log Homes.

News from Jack – In a confusing market, Honest Abe Log Homes wants customers to know that our deliveries are being made on schedule. Our suppliers are paid up. Our equipment is in good condition. We have materials on hand and our inventory is being built up for future orders. Our assets are paid for. Furthermore, inventory and receivables back our lines of credit. Our 2009 workshop and seminar schedules will be published very soon.
