thanks John and UK4x4!  i appreciate the first two 'it could work' posts!

Dog trot is a good idea... perhaps a little redundant use of space (two kitchens, two family rooms) etc. I wonder if that would pass as a single family dwelling.



Home: Minneapolis, MN area.  Land: (no cabin yet) Spooner, WI area.  Plan: 20x34 1 1/2 Story. Experience Level: n00b.

I'm no expert- sharing a single cabin would be dificult

three weeks of the wife in a trailer on vacation and it gets a bit clostrophobic

Dog trot means you have your own space- and both can use on the holidays- and there's no issue about space or who's wife has her sensitive time... 8)- you can fun together or relax alone.

Keeping the property as yours means no worries down the road of loosing it

The buyout of the of the other half of the building makes it pretty simple.

I'm just looking at the practicalities- not emotions and limiting the fallout down the road to a simple 10-15 k payout with depreciation of course !
