F. A. Q.
You can opt to pay the full tuition price up front or make a non-refundable $500 deposit at registration to reserve your spot and pay the balance before the start of class on Thursday.
If you choose to pay in full and have to cancel, you will receive back what you paid for tuition less the $500 deposit.
We have add on observer slots available for those who want to come, but would rather not participate. Cost is $550
Yes, absolutely!
If the class is full, you can still click the registration button to be added to our waitlist for no cost in case someone cancels.
We will also run a fall class in October.
Cancellations will receive a refund for the cost of tuition less the $500 deposit.
The class will run rain or shine, and we’ll be working outside, so be prepared!
Spring is hit or miss in Branson for weather. It could be T-shirt weather or cold and rainy.
If something unexpected happens and we have to reschedule you will have the opportunity to keep your spot or opt for a refund of tuition paid.
We will start at 8:00 am each morning. Will take an hour break for lunch from 12:00 to 1:00 pm and finish between 5:00 and 6:00 pm in the evening.
Breakfast and Lunch will be provided, along with a bonfire and supper Friday evening.
There are many places to stay in and around Branson, including many AirBnb-type options. There is also room for dry-camping on site.
Your log cabin dreams, ideas and questions.
Teachable mindset: even the most experienced builder always has something to learn.
Willing attitude: this class is hands on so expect to work alongside the rest of us to build this cabin.
Boots, jeans, gloves, and both eye and ear protection are really good ideas.
(Please don’t show up in yoga pants and tennis shoes… 😉
