Is that like a Unibomber Shack?

by **cs_whypt2** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 5:26 pm

I could live in it. It is 700 square feet.
And hey, I enter, then read the rules (I think I did that backwards :thinking:

) And I found out you can enter once a day.
So can I know another thing that is getting added to my daily routine!

I just went and took a look. It looks cute. I have no problem with the sq ft. but I'd really like the bed to be on the first floor.

The house I live in now is all of 750 sq ft. With two bedrooms there is enough room for me and the dogs as long as the tomatoes don't take over the back yard. I will not load up the place with pictures of my crop but they are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kenskill/sets/72157605852612676/

The Brandywine is almost 6ft tall with a couple others close in size. It looks like ripe fruit will be here after the Fourth.

My lot is zoned R2 so maybe I will have to register for the cabin and get a rental unit. :lol:

Yeah I measured the house I am living in now and compaired it to a mobile home trailer, and the trailer was bigger.
Becides...
I have a Cabela's Visa card. For all puschases I make, I get 1% back in Cabela's gift certificates that never expire. I can bring people in to sign up for credit cards (which I do) and Cabela's gives me between $10 -$40 for bringing in people. Cabela's sells log cabin kits. Sooooo...I am saving all of my points to buy a house. (I know I know...it will not happen, but if I bring in a little over 600 people to sign up for a credit card and they give me $40 a person, I will get a house for free.) And I pay the balance in full, so I never have any interest payments. I have put alot of thought into it...only thing I can't help is increasing the price of the cabin. (I can't get a picture, because Cabela's has not had it on their website lately.) Anyway...Yeah, I would like the Cabin.

I don't get it. I just looked at the plans and the bedroom is on the first floor.

The Baskahegan:

It says:
All of the camp designs have open floor plans and sleeping lofts, suggesting a return to the "simple life". The Baskahegan and Matagamon's sleeping lofts extend out over the porch for even more space, while the Telos and Musquash offer larger front porches so you can spend as much time as possible enjoying the outdoors.

I think there is one bedroom and the bathromm underneath the sleeping loft. But then it said that the loft was over the porch, but the picture shows that the loft is in the rear of the cabin.
I looked this up a little while ago for the Cabela's cabin I was babbleing about, and I could be way off, but I am no expert: I think it would cost about $70,000 to put a basement on that cabin (if you wanted one) Correct me if I am wrong, because I want to know! I looked it up on a website, and it's pricing was based on Michigan Frost points, so I figured the frost levels in Wisconsin and Michigan would be about the same.

Uhhh...
Well you see, it is kinda complicated, because of, ummm...

Cabela's sometimes gives me an offer to bring people in and sign up for a credit card and they give me $40 for bringing them in. There is a 5 person maximum and a time limit. Plus, I have taken advantage of it and now Cabela's claims that it is done on a lottery, so that is why that offer is not available to me anymore. Yeah, yeah, they found out I wanted a log cabin and they are making it difficult for me. So I said it was unfair, so they told me of their other offer:
Bring in as many people as I want, when ever I want and Cabela's will give me $10 a person that signs up. Nifty.
Or I could do it the old fashion way and spend money, geting 1% back. (ouch)
So:
$40 a person = about 625 people.
$10 a person = about 2,500 people.
money spent? = $2,500,000

So yeah...I have a long time. And becides, by the time I am ready to get the log cabin they will have upped the prices.
I figure put all of my college bills, gas, and what ever of my family' bills I can put on my card (and then they pay me in cash) and they I get points.
I pay off the card every month, so there is no interest payments.
I have a little over $386.00 in Cabela's. :thumbsup:

Long ways to go. :cry:

Although the cabin is small. It'll fit real nice on my property in the mountains. The best part of the cabin that I like is that .....

.................................... its FREE!

FREE is GOOD! :twisted:
