Hitch a ride on that fire helicopter 'Elvis' they send down for the bushfires each year, it comes from over in the US somewhere.

Thanks for all the great ideas and enthusiasm guys! I have been thinking about teaching a timberframing class (similar to this one: http://www.rockymountainworkshops.com/rmsquarerule.html ) in Australia. However, Don thought that there would probably be little opportunity for it in OZ given the lack of large dimention timber. maybe I'll write a few TAFE's and see if their intrest is piqued.
other ideas are teaching a forcible entry class to Fire departments, or winning the loto.
stay well everyone.

P.S.
Here's a picture of a close up of some joinery from a great bellingham TF company:
and the hallway where it is displayed:
there's no school like the old school.

Hi Ryan,
That's a great idea you have - don't give up yet! Here is the link to the site of Owner builder magazine, which may be a good lead: www.theownerbuilder.com.au
In their links, you'll notice there is http://www.lyrebirdridge.com.au
Also, another link to a forum for owner builders: www.byohouse.com.au
Also check out www.hokianga.com/tahekemud/page2 for a fantastic and DIFFERENT home in NZ incorporating logs - just for interest's sake! It may not be what you like, but it is inspiring, anyway!
Cheers,
JillLast edited by Jill; 14th August 2005 at 11:53 AM. Reason: Change
