man camp has inhabitants who are hungry

Man camp has a porch too

ok, me at Man Camp, editing the blog, Bennett took photos for me, of me, yuk!

the kitchen , complete with epiphilum hanging around....gotta build a house for our plant!

The basic plan here is to recycle the entire house, grind up on site what we can't re-use, and save some materials costs as we go. The main roof elements are going to be our barn roof, smaller kitchen element will be a small shed on skids, and the other smaller roof elements become the shed roof on the sides of the barn

man camp has a bathroom, with plastic roof too!

the pile of insulation, some will be reused, the pink is being taken off site, most of the house will be recycled as our barn or ground up on site and used as land fill for a parking area

here's the view of the rooms after day one of decon

Friday afternoon was large, after a weeks delay due to a severe lack of information from the County, we finally got lift off.

The deconstruction required a permit from the County, which we applied for and then proceeded to rip the guts out of the house while we waited for permit approval.

The shocker came when we got the permit, along with it was a nice envelope from the state of CO, which said that we had to have an inspection of our house BEFORE we were allowed to tear it down, all under the asbestos control regulations, which isn't a big deal, but it would have been really nice to know this up front, after 780 usd of testing, we skated clear. Could have had to pay 10-15K$ for clean up since we'd already disturbed most all of the stuff that could have been hazardous. Anyway, we chewed on the county guy for a severe lack of info. up front.

Bennett decided his bedroom wall needed holes in it. I had a couple heavy hitters and Paul do the decon, my neighbor BVM was nice enough to give two of his guys, who rocked ....first day the kitchen and two bedrooms along with the HVAC unit were into the storage containers from our old neighbor Joe and Beth Kent, their company MSC brings us what we want for short term rental. I am looking to buy a 20 ft unit with doors on both ends for a job site shop, etc. Right now it's hard to lock up my stuff, and as some of you knnow, I've got some stuff.
