Title: 16x24 cabin/shack in N. MN
Post by: Donny2guns on March 23, 2010, 12:46:14 PM
Hi all Ive been lurking here for some time now. I bought 20 acres in N. MN and have decided to put a cabin on it. After some careful consideration and planning I purchased Johns little house kit. Ive never built a house but do have some experience working at home. I will be heading up there in the near future to start clearing the site and will take some progress pics along the way. I thought I would just introduce myself, thanks all Russ

I hope you have enjoyed what you found on the site.  Keep us abreast and as others will say "pictures".

 w* and Good luck to you.  We've got land in northern Minnesota also, but have decided on not putting a house up yet, as the township assessor has been all over it since we bought it.  Maybe if the economy recovers a bit, we'll reconsider.

Good luck with your project! I'd like to see your photos as you make progress.

I'm waiting for the ice to melt in about five weeks.

I havnt looked at any inland lakes as of yet but the ice on the big lake is pretty much gone. Yes the good old assesors, up here they will raise your taxes for placing a cardboard box on your land and call it a cabin

Her is a link showing ice out status for some of the major lakes. In April you can watch the ice out march northwards.
