Water !!!

Water at 400 feet !!!

Our 400' well is generating 40 gallons of water per hour . . . enough for a small cabin like ours with a single bathroom.



Apparently deeper wells also generate better and more consistent water quality, and this is 200 feet deeper than the ground source heat pump holes . . . so there will be no cross-contamination from the grout used there . . . all is good.

Topping Out

A milestone was reached in the construction of our cabin . . . The last log was fitted onto the top of the cabin walls today at the log yard in Boulder.

Next up will be the timber framed roof, dormers, and porch.

Well Drilling Rig Arrives !!!

The well drilling truck arrived on The Land today. Drilling starts tomorrow. We should know if we have water by the weekend.

Log Structure

Here is a photo of the log structure almost complete in the log yard in Boulder. It will completed and then moved to The Land once the foundation is complete this summer.

Intro

Hi everyone!

This is my first blog post ever for anything . . . we'll see how it goes.

We have been planning a cabin on our land for less than a year now (originally we just wanted a shed to store some stuff) but things are really moving along.

The log structure is nearing completion at the log yard in Boulder. Timber framing for the roof will begin next week if not sooner, and a well drilling rig is arriving at our property this afternoon to drill a well for water.

The well drilling is the first real permanent change to The Land related to the cabin, so it is kind of a big event. We are going up there this evening to check out the setup and make sure they are drilling in the right place!

If all goes as planned and we get the building permit soon (it was expected weeks ago) we should have the foundation in place, cabin reassembled on site and roof and doors/windows on before it snows this fall . . . that is the plan anyway.

More posts to come!
