It finally happened, third times a charm, I finally got all my forms together and my application for a build permit for a small cabin was accepted. It takes a real load off since my well permit was going to expire in Mid November and I was going to have to go through a load of bureaucracy (and a bit more money) to get it reactivated. The application still has to be reviewed but fingers and toes crossed, in 8 to 10 weeks, I’ll have approval to spend lots of time and money at the Home Depot. Hah, that sounds like something a husband would say. Feels pretty good.
This is what it looks like on paper.
Hopefully, this isn’t what it will look like when I am done.
The rains are coming. I have started hiking the mile into camp now. With this limited access, I’ll just be spending my days wrapping up the projects around camp before I lock it down for the winter. The days are getting short and combined with the rainy weather, the batteries aren’t getting a full charging anymore. So it will be headlamps and early to bed for my remaining time here.
Like last year, the long range forecast is calling for another big snow year. It was mid April before the sow melted and the road dried out enough to drive my car in last Spring. Time will tell when the road will dry out enough for work to begin next year. Regardless, it promises to be a busy Summer.
I am starting to put together some plans for the winter but with the Covid and high cost of travel, I plan to stay out West while I wait out the winter.
Stay tuned

Don’t have to worry ’bout Don!
You are quit a skilled laborer taking on this project. Going on a slab foundation and building upwards then?
I can’t wait to see the work progress.
Skilled graduate of Youtube University. I have to build a basement next year and may hire that out to someone who has more youtube hours than I.
Pretty cool, Don. Congrats on the permit to build, and spend money, and impersonate a husband. Did you create the plans or get them from somewhere else?
I did google searches for small cabin plans to get ideas but pretty much just drew a floorplan and a designer with all the software put it into something that could be engineered for the county building codes.
