New Forum Idea- CONSTRUCTION

[Ford8N]

I think it would be a good idea to have a new forum within this board to discuss construction techniques and issues. I have seen a lot of postings lately that could fall within that category. Whether one is restoring an old farmhouse (such as myself), building a log or straw bale home, a new barn or fixing an old one, it would be a good idea to have one place to come to to discuss these istems and share ideas or even just show off a project. After all, what is homesteading without the home??

Seconded. Heartily.

Country Construction would cover a broad range of items that are touched on in many other Forums. Bet it would evolve into a place where the members that are knowledgeable and construction pros would check in and hang out. My know-how in this area is broad but mighty shallow in places. A Forum that would lend access to decades of experience in all the trades would sure be helpful. Thanks for the suggestion Paul..Glen

Good idea...

But heck people will still post in the two main groups (cause more people will see it" claim. we have a shop talk and I see a lot of topics that belong in there, out here in HT. If people would use the correct location to post, I am sure it would help with answers and such.
you figure when I go into alternative energy I am looking to maybe help some person out. or ask a question myself.. knowing that the ones looking in there have the same interest.

Great idea.

Add my vote. I'm about to start construction on 4 cabins and a barn. I can use all the help/advice/info/derision that I can get.

Excellent idea.

There are certainly enough questions about such things to warrant another board, hope it is taken under consideration by the staff.

Then I wouldn't have to bore everyone else with my remodeling stuff LOL!!
