Hello Everyone,
We just recently closed on 8.6 acres of awesome land in the Tug Hill region of upstate NY, about 10 minutes from Camden. Since we were financially able to pretty much pull down most of the purchase with cash, (we only had to finance about 30% of it) I'll be planning on attending the class within the next year, or as soon as I'm able...The plan is to build a small one room butt & pass cabin with small loft..The land is in a remote area (the whole area is pretty much remote) but the beauty is we are off of a county road with access to electric/phone!! We have a spring fed brook on the property..the water runs fast in areas over stones, etc...it's really cool! There are probably around 1,000 feet or more of old stone walls inside of the property...I would imagine old land boundries likely from the mid 19th century...lots of timber..mature maple, spruce, cherry, etc....just beautiful.
So does anyone have any experience in this area as far as building goes? A lot of folks are actually in the logging business up there, and there is actually a timber company just a mile or so up the road from our land..I saw what looked like log home logs on a big flat bed truck in the lumber yard recently when we drove by, and the town is full of machinery for sale/hire for logging, digging, excavation, etc...
Do I happen to have any neighbors on this message board? Thanks as always, and our first step is done! Now on to planning the butt & pass dream!
