Unfortunately, the cabin was built without permits and inspections, so we cannot use it legally as a residence where we live. It would be a REALLY good office, though. It doesn’t really cost much more than a lot of the sheds we have priced. But the size makes it too expensive to move to our land. Oh well…. This is a really good deal for somebody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
