My New Property..

I haven't posted in a while... some weeks actually.  But, I have good reason:

I have been completely consumed in the final purchase process of my new home in Woodinville, WA.  (err... "property").

I stutter at the term "home", because in fact, the existing structure is not really livable - [abandoned] neglected, actually.  Its a cabin, an old 1950's modified A-Frame.... and its seen better days.  My project for the summer will be to get the A-Frame back into its prime.

About the Property:

5-acres of densely wooded, Northwest terrain.  At the SW corner of the property, Bear Creek crosses through, which is a well-known salmon spawning waterway.  The creek consumes about 1 acre of the property and the remaining 4-acres are elevated woods, gently sloping from 200ft above sea-level in the W of the property, to 230ft above sea-level on the E border.  Because of the creek, there are actually NO direct access roads to the property... in other words, it feels  a bit like an island.  The only access to the property is by crossing my private 50ft bridge.  My first order of business is to install automated spotlight turrets and hire a troll to live beneath the bridge. (kidding).

The A-Frame sits on an elevated ledge above the creek, perhaps 30ft from the water's edge.  It is - to say the least - a very charming setting.

I will be putting a bunch of photos up in the coming days and weeks - as we bash through walls and tear-out rotten floors (the photo above is not the house!).  For the moment, I will just leave you with a couple map aerials of the property, for perspective.  EDIT:  I have taken one of the photos out for security reasons.
