"If you are looking for a new and innovative way to build a log home or cabin, please read on. -
After years of wishing and hoping, we finally found a way to achieve our dream, and what started out as a "log shack" evolved into far more than we ever expected. With the help of a friend and log enthusiast, we were able to connect with Bill Lasko and the Lasko School of Log Building. After a few visits with Bill for preliminary preparations, we located our logs on land not far from our intended building site. That was in January, and by June, we had them cut, peeled, transported and bunked next to our foundation.
Bill and a few students arrived in mid-June and the first logs were taking shape. For the first few days, Bill instructed his students in the art of log building, and in a few days students were moving rapidly in the construction with Bill looking over their shoulder offering advice and helping with technique when necessary. Safety was a high priority in working with chain saws, heavy logs, and other tools.
Bill's knowledge and teaching methods were paramount to fulfilling our dream. He pays attention to detail, fit and finish. He is dedicated to a realistic time frame, and he has knowledge above and beyond the basic construction. Finishing and protecting those logs was another of our concerns. Our finished product is beautiful (chink-style) and far more than our expectations, mostly because of Bill's experience and knowledge, as well as his ability to communicate. We would highly recommend Bill and the Lasko School of Log Building to fullfill your Log dreams."

...... "The School offers the opportunity to students to "host" a two week hands-on course in log home construction at thier own site !" - "In the spirit of the "flying Instructor Program" begun by B. Allen Mackie - a pactical approach to bring this craft to your area and make it possible for more people to learn to build for themselves - Hosts accept limits of time and skill level of participants while getting a great start on thier own log home, participants have a viable project to work and learn on in thier area of the world!"
