We are going to have to take the stuff off the truck ourselves, so I'm going to call on my son-in-law to help. Then it will have to be piled up in our yard until the handyman we hired comes to put it up. We estimate that it will take 2 days to put together, but the instructions made me cross-eyed. I'm sure it makes sense for a builder, though. At least I hope so.

Tomorrow the gravel comes in, which you have to have to level the area and provide drainage. We'll have to walk wheelbarrows full of gravel around the house to the site--4" covering a 11x16 space. I'm far from a neat freak, but I can't stand to see the yard in disarray, so I hope that's kept to a minimum, and that it cleans up well after all is said and done.

I'll keep you posted!

It sounds like it will be worth it at the end but wow, that's a process!! I hate it when things get disrupted, so I'm always putting off house projects just for that reason.

I still think it sounds very exciting, catherine! There may be some "mess and to-do", but you know that won't last and it will be beautiful in the end!

I know you do not need a permit but have you checked out the zoning requirements for accessory structures on your property? My husband just read me an article from here about someone with 4 acres and 4 rvs and the town is trying to shut them down and make them remove the rvs. Something to do with density, septic field?? But that is different than yours because they are living there year round.
