Ok Im heading up tomorrow to meet my soil engineer so I can have a septic put in. My county will not allow me to have power till I have a septic approved and installed because they said people build small cabin and then even live in them !
Hope to have my son Ransom and his friend Jake come up also and help with the last of the building wrap and the last four windows! Then we will be dried in!!

We are offically "dried in"!
Finished house wrap and all windows installed! One of the window we could not get to lock and looked close at the lock after about 15 mins of rechecking square. And noticed the lock part of the window was installed at the factory backwards.
Started on the loft floor and hope to get a little more done next weekend.

That triple walled pipe is expensive. I remember I was in shock when I priced mine also. Shop around and you may be able to find it a little cheaper, I got mine from Hart's Hearth.

I will not be working on my cabin for a while. My home burnt to the ground last Tues. We lost everything but no one was hurt. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
Insurance said it would take about 6-8 months to settle everything. We are in a rental now and just glad no one was hurt.
Hopefully after I rebuild this home I can finish up my cabin!

My friend had his house burn down a year ago. They hired an arbitrator and it sped up the insuance proces quite a bit. Good luck. I'm glad everyone is ok.

OMG...I missed this before but want to let you know I'm so, so sorry
What a shame. I'm glad nobody was hurt also, but wow, still such a shame. How did the fire start?
You bet I will keep you in my prayers! Let's hope you can put this behind you as quickly as possible. Chin up

Holy cow, how did I miss this?!!! Oh I am so sorry for you and your family! Thank heavens no one was hurt and you had insurance, but that won't replace the personal things that are gone. I am so very, very sorry!!!! Please keep us posted how you are making out. My prayers are with you and your family!!

The fire mashall said it was electrical. The house was old and was first built in the 50s and has been added onto many times. We count our blessings that it happened around 7:15am because we were all gone. If it would have happened a few hours earlier it could have been really bad. Here of a few pictures after the fire, motorcycle, truck 35 feet away from the home.
I will keep everyone posted and thanks again!

The saddest part is the personal items that will never be replaced - things that might not have a monetary value, but do have a strong emotional value. I look around here and think how devastated I would be if I lost certain items. Whew....I just can't imagine what you must be going through. Big hugs to you and your family!!!!

Ok we went up to the cabin this last weekend and it was just as we left it two months ago before the house fire.
It was nice to get back up there and just relax and enjoy the sights and smells of the mountains!

Good morning Sonny,
Wow, I still cringe when I scroll past your house fire pictures
How have you been?
It must have been absolutely wonderful getting back to your cabin! Did you feel all your cares just melt away? I'm glad everything was as you left it two months ago...it's a good feeling
Will you be picking up where you left off soon? Or will you have to remain on hold for a while?

Doing good trollbridge! I have the footings done at my lake home and poured walls are up!! Rain is slowing me down this week but hope to have waterproofing, back fill, and slab poured soon.
I hope I can start back on the cabin some this summer. Had a guy come up and meet me to give me a price on putting decks on and wood siding. But WOW the price he gave me was $3200 for materails and $9,000 for labor! I told the guy I only have $12,000 in the whole cabin now and there is no way I will pay that much for labor.
So I will be back at it soon!
Love the peace when Im in the mountains!

Have not been around much and just read of the fire. I can't begin to imagine losing everything and starting over. I will be thinking of you and yours.

I've not been on here much for a while and just saw the pics from your house fire, Sonny. I am so sorry but glad everyone was safe. Many years ago I lost a home in a fire at 2am and we were very blessed to get out alive just before the roof caved in. Even years later I'd find myself looking for something only to realize it had burned in the house. I wish you the very best as you rebuild and recover from this tragedy.

Ok I am just about done with my home that I am rebuilding from the fire! We should be in the new home in about 2-3 weeks!
In a few weeks I am headed back to the cabin and cant wait! I have only been up there 2 times since the house burnt down. I will start where I left off and will finish up the wood stove so it will be just in time for the cold weather.
I will be posting pictures soon of the work on the cabin!
