Project CABIN .... Underway !!!!!!!! UPDATE !

[alscalls]

I would do it my way anyway Bop.......Just to see the look on my supervisors face.......

Barry,  I aint kidding about the tax man.......
They actually told me to my face once that if I removed the wheels and tires from my camper...... and put it up on blocks that I would get a 50% discount for a partial residence......
I told him he is the reason WV gets a bad wrap and that he should leave! ........ Quickly......and he did.

Where I'm at on the farm they tax my house.  My outbuildings are all part of the farm and therefor exempt.  If I had an off farm business ie; construction with a cat.  Then they could tax my shop on the percentage agreed upon that it was used for that business.  [L] I don't even get building permits .

[alscalls]

Are you gonna wire it so all you have to do is plug a generator into it for a portable heater & a light or two?? 

Glen we are using the transfer switch from the old camper so we can run on solar,12v DC, generator, or electric (AC).
we are also gonna try and use the heater and thermostat as well as the propane stove from the camper.....

it will have 4 bunk style beds and a bathroom but until I get the $$ for some pipe we will carry our water.

It'd be nice to find a deal on a refrigerator from a camper since you're going to have propane.

They should do our taxes like they do Barry's. They finally did make farm equipment exempt. For a while I was paying taxes on our tractor, baler, rake, mower, tedder, trailer, bush hog, stock trailer, four wheeler, and left over hay (yeah no kidding, taxes on the number of bales of hay you had on July 1). The heck of it is, each county can be a little different.

Them are wise words Mike .  Every once in a while you can find one for nothing and they work excellent for keeping coke cold in the field.

Please don't tell me they actually have someone come and count the bales Mike .  If you guys got that happening then your government is even further out of control than I thought .  Do they tax you on old machinery as well?

[alscalls]

I have an old one but it needs burped........I am afraid that if I do it will just quit again......

Only one way to know for sure .  If it ain't working now you can't screw it .

No, they would send you a card if you had your property listed as being a farm, and you would assess yourself. They quit that and now we don't pay any property tax on equipment or hay. Where they are going to get me is, I have been building a corral and am going to start on high tensile fence, both are improvements to the property. When they come by, they will add this to my taxes.

Hey Al, if there is anything you need, let me know and I will keep my eyes peeled. I am all over Tyler, Pleasants, and Wetzel counties. Surely I could find some stuff somewhere.

He isn't kidding Barry, that happens to be why we love pole barns so much. They are not considered to be permanant building without a concrete foundation and are taxed diferently. In some states, temporary buildings are excempt from taxes. We do love taking care of our government obligations so.

Al I hope ya dug down a ways and put some big flat sandstone under those blocks. Otherwise they might sink a tad when company shows up in a wet season.    Or after a long hard winter  . Jimmie

      No foundation at all Jimmie...... But we ave learned over the years how to work with that little problem.

[alscalls]

Well I did not get many pics....... but we got the roof done today and the floor is in.........
Then I went and shoveled some rock into some of the mud holes.........




The only bad thing is........I gotta run a camera and a gun tomorrow with this!!!!!!



I hit the wrong nail!!!!!!  28oz framing hammer!  $&%#!!
4 am TILL 8 pm TODAY........ 

OH!  and I missed a turkey yesterday......   

[pitw]

Well you got him today  .

[pitw]

Oh yeah  .   The cabin is looking great and don't worry about that little ding cause it ain't nothing  . 





  I'm sorry but it is way funnier when someone else do it .

[golfertrout]

[FinsnFur]

Hey  Someone put your house wrap on upside down.
Thjat had to be tough to do. How'd you do that? Lay on the roof and lean over the edge and roll it out on the sides?
