I bought land in Apr. 2007. Started building in June 2007, had the shell up and electrical wired by Aug. 2007. I failed many times with plumbing in fall 2007. In Spring 2008 my good friend Don took over getting some professional help to finish the job. That was basically done at the end of 2008. Through the end of 2008 I wrestled with how to get power to the cabin because I was going to have pay for grid service and it wasn’t looking cheap. In Feb. 2009 I got some neighboring owners to agree to share the cost of power and the electrical problem was solved! I’m supposed to have power as of now and am planning to move stuff in, in a week. I still need to finish a couple of things and get the certificate of occupancy, but it’s basically done.
Having been through this labor of love, and keeping EVERY last receipt, blueprint, contact number, etc. I’d like to capture it all into a blog/book both for posterity and so that others can learn what it took to make happen. Stay tuned for later in 2009.
