Ok, so.. I am not the fastest guy on earth at getting things done, lol.

Due to health issues (I'm pretty much fine now) we had our cabin plans on hold for 3 years. But we are now at a point where we are moving forward. A quick recap: We have a lakefront lot at a small private lake. We had a non-lakefront lot before, where we built a cabin and loved it. We got a chance to buy on the water at a fantastic price, and we sold the old lots and cabin. I have had pangs of regret ever since. We have been staying in our camper on our new lots since then, but the plan was always to build a new cabin, using lessons learned from the last one.

This time, rather than stick-building it from the ground up, we have had a custom 'shed' cabin made for us. We ordered it a little over a month ago, and its been sitting at the factory for a couple of weeks. We originally were just going to plop it on our lot where our camper sits, but decided we want to level things up as much as possible, and finding a reliable contractor for that has been problematic, but we are finally done, as the last 2 loads of rock are being delivered and spread out today.

Pics blow of the earthwork.

We should get it delivered in a couple weeks, then the actual work begins!

We did similar 2 years ago, I realized if I wanted to actually enjoy our property and cabin rather than be building for too long we needed a prebuilt, got a 12.5x28 milled log cabin. Turn-key walk in, it was a Great idea.
Yer gonna LOVE it!
