As some of you know my dh has started building us a cabin on our property so we could move out the very old mobile home we’ve been living in. This mobile home has bad electricity and many needed repairs. He’s been trying to work on the cabin (kinda small 2 bedroom house) on weekends since he works 12-14 hr days. Sundays are spent at church most all days so time to work on it limited. He’s gotten the foundation poured and the big kitchen framed but that’s all. Someone we know bought some property that borders the far back side of our 12.5 acres and is having a house, pool house, and pond dug. My dh has been going over there to observe the construction and talk to the crew. The construction owner came over to check out dh’s work last Saturday. Dh told him he wanted to have the cabin done by January but know there is no way. The guy says he and his crew can build it for us (they’re almost finished with the other house plus he has crews finishing up other houses) and enlarge our pond in exchange for one acre of our land. He’ll provide all the materials and build it to our specifications. They should have it built in 2-3 months. Sunday he came over and enlarged our pond. One acre is valued at around $35,000 in our county and so with the cost of building materials and labor costs if we had to get help we’re getting a great deal. We can easily spare one acre and he’s agreed to the spot he’ll get. We’ll get everything in writing.
