Bryon,
Almost 10 long years ago, I took your 6 week course along with my son Tom from July 28, - Sept. 3, 1998 just prior to retiring early in 1999 from a chemical plant in Beaumont. I had done some remodeling work on several buildings in the Chicago area when I was young and always had the dream of building my own home with my own two hands. Your course gave me the education, the final inspiration and most importantly the peace of mind during the actual construction that I could really do it myself and I did. Thank you.
We bought 10 acres in a restricted neighborhood called Rolling Hills Estates up in Burke, Texas just this side of Lufkin and I built in the center of the property. I first built a 1,368 S.F. workshop with temporary living quarters above, then a 3,500 S.F. house with a 2,250 S.F. basement and an 864 S.F. attached 3 car garage. Finally I built a 400 S.F. barn to house the tractor and riding mowers.
I vent skinned both the workshop and the house and used Tech Shield on both the roof and exterior walls of each. Also I used fir 2x4's for all studs, Pella windows and doors all around, 1-1/8" T&G plywood sub floors, ridge vents and all the many other things you taught.
One of the nice things about building this far from Houston is that the only construction permit I needed was from Angelina County to install the aerobic waste water unit.
Our electric bill averaged $214 a month (1,731 KW/mo. avg) for the last 12 months and the propane cost averaged $99 a month over the last 14 months running 2 water heaters in the house and 1 in the workshop.
Over the last 10 years I have continually mentioned your name and recommend Builder's Academy whenever some one new comes to visit and complement our home and we start discussing my experience with building this house. I always give you the credit for the solid foundation. I can still remember the fun both my son Tom and I had in your classes back in 1998; you sure made a good impression on us both. You are one great teacher. And I can say that building our dream home was the most fun I ever had in my entire life with many thanks to you for helping to make it come out successfully.
So thank you, thank you and thank you again.
