Quote HistoryQuoted: I have heard that when buying property in the San Juan islands they locally won't permit any new septic so a run down/dilapidated property that already has one goes for big bucks just because it allows someone to build there. Just to hook up to city water in Friday Harbor is a $35,000 hookup fee to the city, plus the installation and parts. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just looked at the satellite view and it's literally right next to a bluff that's sliding into Puget Sound. Erosion is a constant threat on the Sorth side of the bluff. A good heavy week of rain and that treehouse could be IN Puget Sound. It's a lovely little street with some tremendous views of the city and water. Great place to live if you don't mind the real risk of a mudslide taking out your home. Heh. I married a girl from Magnolia... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I would say it's highly inaccurate to call that a "home" - it's essentially a shed. No utilities of any kind, no toilet, no sewage/septic. It realistically cannot even be called a simple cabin. It's a creatively shaped shed. As others have pointed out, the value of this property is the land. The shed is unlivable, and would have to be torn down. But the land (being on the water) MIGHT be worth quite a lot, depending on the expense of bringing in some utilities and of building an actual house on the very steep lot. I'm taking Trulia's word for it. My search criteria included single family home and under $400,000. Slide over to the east and the are several in the 160 to 300 square foot range. Lol. |

No power doesn't bother me, comfort is a slow death.
Shitting in a bucket and flinging it at passing orcas is a huge plus for me. Fuck those monsters, they're planning something. No water is irrelevant. Have you seen how cheap bud light is now? I use it to scrub my balls and flush my toilet to save money, but this fucking paint job. Whichever dumb shit millennial called it in that day because he was to busy snap chatting an ethot micropeen pictures to pull a roller out for 10 minutes, fuck him. I almost had my retirement tree-shed  Attached Filehouse is trash, my tents painted better. |

Pretty cool and Cheap AF for waterfront property, especially Seattle.
Bedroom, kitchen, Den and Shitter. And a nice deck with some seclusion. I’d live in that cabin if I was single and chop down every tree between the water & me and then within 20ft of the cabin. Fill in those stupid tree holes in the deck. Then add a decent built-in cooking range/oven, oven, and a blackstone on the patio. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The amount of human fecal matter in the Seattle waterfront part of the Puget Sound would alarm people if they knew. CSOs have been and are being addressed. Seattle Aquarium pumps directly from Elliott Bay and had this: Fecal coliform bacteria mean over the 10-year period was 20 colony-forming units (CFU) per 100 ml of water. Overall, Elliott Bay water quality remained relatively stable from 2007 to 2016, I haven’t heard there's a problem. |

How can you build something with no water or sanitation and get any kind of permit? Of course no financing, no one will finance it

Quote HistoryQuoted: jugs, sir. they're "jugs". We used to pee in water bottles on deployment rather than brave the weather and 1/4 mile walk to the bathroom at night. One day my buddy was heading to the gym first thing in the morning, so he had a used pee bottle in one hand, and a bottle of preworkout in the other. Someone stopped him to talk and he mistakenly drank from the wrong bottle while distracted. With a straight face he swallowed, paused, then said "I just drank my own piss" before tossing both bottles into the trash and heading back into his room to not be seen again until lunch. |
