Those stairs are a dealbreaker for me. could get killed walking down them in the snow

[Kittenkattan]

@GKGOOKINS, Well, I am redoing the stairs but, with out that 10 foot clearance, my cabin would be an igloo, not a cabin (with all that snow that is). Besides, it keeps you young climbing those stairs! lol!

[GKGOOKINS]

@Kittenkattan Thanks for the info. I may be moving to a rural area where it gets cold, do you mean the house is better up high for snow reasons? I could use some pointers about that. Thanks again, Gary

[Kittenkattan]

@GKGOOKINS , Yes, in the year that that video was made, we had 80 inches of snow in one week, The snow was up to the porch! So, yes, you need to keep it at least 10 feet off the ground so you are safely above that snow line.

should have put those solar panels on a pole in the yard, easyer to keep clean so you can get more power

[Kittenkattan]

They are now. I just had them moved and upgraded the panels.

Thanks for the advice. Where were you when I was getting this thing built!

LOL

Having your own land is the first step toward a revolution. Yeah!

[LeathermanFan2]

It looks very small. At least you are out in nature.

[GKGOOKINS]

@Kittenkattan Guess that is because the house is wood?
