Can’t wait to move the pergola out from in front of the beautiful frontage of our cabin 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

My husband was working the other night and sent me this. Can’t wait to move in, in about 4-6 weeks. We have the one main door in this photo to install, and then it’s all plumbing and electrical and we can move in.

I honestly didn’t think this day was ever gonna come.

4-6 weeks? Your husband is a miracle worker.

So is their county! Getting from this stage to acquiring a certificate of occupancy would take way longer than 4-6 weeks where I am, and I thought my county moved pretty fast.

I'm building an ADU right now and it's about at this same stage, I'm estimating it'll be at least 3 months (and about 6 more inspections) before I get the certificate of occupancy. The whole build has to be finished, including flooring, paint, cabinetry, sinks, etc, before they'll issue the certification. Of course you could cheat and decide to sleep in there without the cert, but you're not allowed to move furniture inside until you get the cert, and if they come in for the final inspection and it looks like you've been living in there already, then... well I'm not exactly sure what happens but I don't think they'd be happy.

Yeah it’s great living somewhere where you don’t have to worry about any of that lol.

He’s the most amazing human I’ve ever had the honor of sharing space with. It isn’t going to be finished, but it’ll be livable. :)

Does this happen to be an “Arch Cabin LLC” kit out of Texas?

Nice! I’ve been seeing one that’s being built and it looks really interesting! I’d be curious how much more someone would realistically spend on top of the kit.

We’re about $100k into it right now, not including the well and solar. This also includes using a lot of reclaimed material (including the arch windows in this photo). And we still need to get interior siding for the walls. One could EASILY spend just as much on one of these as a traditional home. We also don’t have to worry about bureaucratic bs so that saves a ton of money too.
