I learned a bunch, even from those cubes. Which way to lay them down, how to pin them together, the fact that I needed cables to maintain square, etc.
one thing I should address is the stagger of...

My wife and I will be coming up in June to work on the place, we would love to have lunch if you are available. Or anyone else for that matter!

I agree. Now that I have my 10 posts I think you will find I can blather on with the best of them. It really serves no use to split it up so badly that there is no continuity-unless it's a means to...

My first choice was no longer available by the time I placed a bid, so i bid on this one and finally, I was an owner of 'my piece of Alaska'!

I also wanted to be able to access the property in a vehicle. This was my second choice.

I spent months searching the available parcels. I wanted state land on two sides and water on or near the property.

Whereas I purchased it online, sight unseen, I was concerned it may be a bog or a graveyard for army corps equipment.

We have been to the site about a dozen times. I have a difficult time expressing how happy I am with it.
