The funny part is that we do have to include an electric car charging station capable wired port! We dont have to actually install the station but the wiring for it has to be there! Congrats on finding your property! It took us three years to find this one and knowing what I know now we...

Super well done!

Yep....I’m lucky that they approved me adding riprap on top of an existing rock slope versus bringing in dirt and seeding it for grass, plus a $15,000 grass bond to make sure the grass grows.

Yeah, it’s made my head spin especially since the last time I built a shop in Missouri the total permit cost was $15.00 and was issued the same day.

Out building permit was approved and I’ve since received it. Thought I’d share with you all what a permit costs in Boulder, Colorado! Take a look at those fees on taxes and taxes on fees.....also did a little snow removal to get the site dried out for our June start date!

Yes. The 125% rule includes our house sq ft, decks and covered carport and the averaging of all the houses in our mountain plat. This left us a 1050 sq ft building. For clarification we could build larger if we went two other routes. 1) Purchased a neighbors building Footage, kinda like carbon...

Our final stamped plans are done and into the County for final review and approval. We’re 4th in line for approval!

Update: We received an e-mail from the County asking for us to revise our building plan to include the following: 1) type and location of silt fence down hill from building site 2) type and location of emergency turn around for EMS vehicles 3) Revegetation affidavit that requires us to re...

Different time, place and people. I came on in 1987, retired at 25 years. Loved the peopleI worked with (minus a couple, of course), the community I served and the opportunities I had. Understanding the true mission of SWAT and one can understand why. Cheers!

I purchased it with approx. 160 hours and I now have over 350 hours. It works perfectly for what I’m doing here in the mountains. I’ve considered the thumb but, haven’t really found a need for it yet. It’s plumbed for it, just need to buy one. Thanks!

Thanks! But our gear is textile gear. We manufacture a line of wax canvas bags/rolls for the off-road world. Our manufacturing is done on the front range here in Colorado. I’ll have a R/D area I this shop to continue to produce development in the mountains.

Thanks! We do enjoy it.

Love the pallet wood on the walls!

Thanks! Yes, I was very surprised when it got kicked back since I had two years of supporting e-mails for the 1500 sq ft size.....but, it boiled down to county code and the first person to pay the SPR/W and building permit fees. The real kick in the pants is there is a new large home going...

Now the other shoe to drop..... After a couple years of saving for the building, clearing the site and fire mitigation around the entire property (forest fire hit 1/2 mile from our property, destroyed 60 homes and hundreds of acres) it was time to file the Site Plan Review Wavier (SPRW) for our...

Beautiful cars....makes me miss mine.

Interesting. Due to the gold mining history in Boulder County I’m familiar with the hazmat issues related to the processing of the gold ore (acids, cyanide, etc) and the tailings (part of the closing documents when purchasing land in rural Colorado) but I’m not familiar with similar issues...

And more winter slash pile burns.....

So, with the clearing of the site came the need to remove trees, lots of trees and with trees came digging out their stumps. This was a multi summer project. I’m also keeping some of the straighter, longer tree for a future writers log cabin for my wife.

Thanks..... but, the bumper road of permitting hasn’t started yet.
