The Next Steps!

So the longer I watch the process of building a house the more I realize what has to be done before you just start knocking the place down and building. Starting with making plans for it, seen below...

Then figuring out how to get everything out of the house and in storage containers at the bottom of the hill, pull the power off of the house and onto a temporary power pole, along with transferring the phone line so we can have internet! (How could you survive without that right?!) Once everything is taken out of the house and the power, phone and water taken care of, the paneling in the main room will be taken off of the walls and ceiling. That could be either really difficult or easy, we will find that out in the middle of may. 

After everything is taken care of with the house its time to demo! It's going to be kind of sad to see the place go, I have had so many memories in that cabin from when i was little to now. But at the same time, re-building will bring even more memories in the many many years to come. 

So after the demo, we have to make a little bit more space for the house to go and to dig the foundation. There are some giant red pines that have to be cut down because we will end up cutting some roots and they wouldn't be able to live. These will be milled and used on the inside of the new house as paneling and trim. These trees are TALL!!! See picture below....

So thats it for now, thanks for following along!
