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

Our National Headquarters in Moss, Tennessee hosts 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.
