That grey bottom one is actually an old telephone line pole.  ac_biggrin

 



The one above it looks kinda tapered.



You're livin' the dream Odi, livin' the dream.

I cant take credit for that..  ac_biggrin

I just took apart the old cabin and replaced the rotten parts..



Now I´m putting it back together..



The construction code dictates that the cabin needs to be at least 5 meters/ 16 feet away from the lake..

As you can see, its more like 1 feet away from the lake.



Nobody cares... But incase somebody wants to be a bitch, I have no problem in chopping this cabin for firewood..





Plan B is that I order some lumber and go on from there.



Plan C is to call the timber yard and order a cabin package... They are really cheap when you haul the timber to the target yourself and put the cabin together yourself.

That'll be expensive if you have to tear it down and start again..



You should just build it to comply with the code.

If I had to guess, he is prolly trying to avoid having another foundation poured, and water and electric lines moving (if there are any).



Also, I bet the code changed after the original one was already standing.



Its a prime spot, I dont blame him for not wanting to move it. Fish off the patio  





Edit: nevermind on the foundation theory, I dont see any, except on one corner lol.

I was going to say, what foundation.

Concrete foundation changes the cabin to holiday home in the eyes of the tax-office..



When you can afford a "holiday home", the tax leech is gonna think you have some extra money on you.  ac_biggrin

It's like that here with property tax..



The bigger the renovation to your home, the more property tax you must pay.

The joys of owning a house. You make it better and the government thinks they should be paid more even though your improvement does not use more municipal services. Pretty lame reason really.

This is why some people don't get a building permit for home renos.

I am one of those people. Building permits are for city people that like having their money confiscated by city hall.

What is the point of a two or three per cent raise each year when property taxes go up five per cent and new federal and provincial taxes are added.

THEY are closing the gap, soon there will be mostly rich fuckers, and us hard working folks on the other end of the spectrum.



So much keeps going up in price, but not our wages.

Trump lowered your taxes and Trudeau raised ours.

You can't see it clearly, but this is a grizzly bear on the side of a road near Johnson Canyon in Banff park.
