I just love these little houses. They are so neat. I’m very much looking forward to making some progress on it this year! And I just think we can all do some amazing things if we just come together more often ❤️❤️❤️❤️
We are still building. Life. Curve balls. The kit itself went up over a weekend. It took us months to sort out what we were doing on the foundation. But we are probably way more chaotic than a lot of people.
I had a new 200 amp main box put in my house (in a city) about four years ago, to replace the 70 amp box from 1974, and it cost like $4,000. I thought that was a little high until several weeks later, when the power company showed up unannounced to replace the drop from the pole to the meter!!
@@LazyAHoleRanch I assume because the house was upgraded to 200 amp. It had been upgraded to 70 amp (and breakers) in the early mid 1970s, and I think they did a new drop then - because there used to be the old metal pieces from the 1910-1920 original electric installation, where the old wires came into the house. I removed them from the house, as they were on the front and mounted into the cedar shake siding shingles. The 1970s 70 amp upgrade had modern looking hardware to tether the drop-wires to the house on the seemingly more substantial porch awning box gutter. But they still replaced that hardware when they did the new 200 amp service drop.

That arched home is an awesome design. My tunnel also wasn't wind resistant until I added the interior. Y'all are great neighbors.

Wow, very informative. Beautiful day to work. 😊
Yes it was!
holy cow! Thanks for the tip on windows! We're at 6100 and it never would have occurred to me
Yeah me either! Glad I found out before we got to them but also ugh!
How big is this cabin kit? How long from beginning to end did it take to put up? Just came across this style of build.

Why did they have to replace the drop?!
For the 200 amp part?
@@LazyAHoleRanch I'm pretty sure yes. Inner city house with the pole across the street. 50 foot run maybe?
