Recommendations: Dirt fill and Leveling Guy - Budget Friendly.

[GreeZdLightNin]

Hey yall, Im going a different direction with the cabin. Still doing the homesite, but just going to have a stick build instead of a cabin. Florida is making me jump through too many hoops.

Is there any recommendations for a dirt guy to bring in dirt for a homesite and level it?

Thanks!

Hawkeye Services (727) 243-1215 out of Bay Minette is who I have used on several jobs. Very honest and top notch work.

What kind of grief are you getting?

What kind of grief are you getting?

From FL?
Mostly dealing with the code changes from December.
HVAC, minimum ceiling height, architect's drawings for the code are just too expensive.
Floridas not the state to diy build, at least not in Escambia Co.
I'll move to a more free state before attempting again.

If you don't pull permits they'll never know

The utility company won't hook you up unless you have all your permits and CO on file. So there is that...

Why not look into Tiny Homes? Prebuilt, not very expensive and they are basically pulled in on a trailer frame built as part of the Tiny Home. I image the permits for that are a lot less since you aren't building it from the ground up.

They'll drop to a temporary poll and you can just run off that. The only deference of a temporary pole and a permanent pole is an extra ground rod.

Oh, no. I was afraid of that. So all your hard work is out the window? That's terrible, i feel so bad for you. Just sucks massively.
Conecha county is waaay better. Ya still gonna be able to use the kit?

We'll, just the digging for the piers. Gotta fill em back in and level for the brick build.
I have a potential buyer for the cabin kit. I'm including all the windows I bought plus architectural drawings with it. I have $36k in it and am selling for $25k.

It wouldn't hold much value in a sale

 

[GreeZdLightNin]

Here's what I'm selling if the deal falls through, pass this along.

BMO is the bomb. I may know some people who may want the kit. I'll pass it along.

My wife wants a "normal" size house lol. Especially since we have 2 girls; 4 year old and a 1 year old.

I've seen people park a houseboat on a trailer and live in it as if a cabin. Ready made and cheap. Find one with a rotten hull or a seized up motor and get it super cheap. If an inspector comes around it's a boat, not a building
