Thread: Alaska- How do you do it?

    A boat sitting on land is not a sunken boat. And I don't think the tide comes in high enough to submerge it.

    Not a sunken ship? Feel free to push it out into the water and drive it off! You won't get far. Oh and yes, the tide actually does get that high here. On a good day we can have a 22 foot tidal exchange. If I were to photograph that other boat at low tide would it then no longer be a sunken ship simply because it was totally exposed?
    There ain't too many problems you can't fix with $500 or a 30-06.

    You, uh, sort of have a problem with concepts. It isn't docked. It isn't floating. It isn't anchored. It sank.

    sink

    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.

    Hunter you know darn well it's black. Now, if you want to go ahead and call it white, well so be it. But it's black.

    Is that true with the building codes?

    When I got my specialty contractors license back in the 1990's I had to go through a background check, get letters from every employer documenting my experience, have a positive net worth, and pass an electrical contractors exam. But, in certain counties in Florida you could still walk in and pay $20 and become any kind of contractor you wanted to be.

    Yesterday I couldn't spell general contractor and now I are one! LOL Want me to build and wire yer house fer you?

    You mean you didn't read my signature line? Lol.

    In town I'm sure they do but out where I live and in the majority of the state, it's your property to do with what you want. If you want to build a crappy little house with an outhouse and no electricity, you just build it. Now down south, such as in the Anchorage area where it is more populated, it is more like the lower 48. That's why many of us make fun of Anchorage. In some other, sparse areas, such as on the north slope, they do have rules, but they are not really building codes. Such as a non Alaska Native can not build a permanent structure on the tundra. That's why my friend Sue lives in a "twinkie".

    For a while I had a 500 gallon fuel tank converted into a septic tank...so no, in rural areas there are no codes.

    Ps, I eventually upgraded to a real septic holding tank
