This is a kickoff to our first challenge in a while. My goal is to take the log cabins that I built a while ago and make a historical park to place them in. I have three structures that can go there, a log cabin, a log ranger station and a two-hole outhouse. I plan on having a chain link fence, a parking area and I'm not sure if I have room for much more. Going to play it by ear as I go.

Didn't realize the bureaucracy in Arizona was that bad! Permits on a model railroad...?. At least they're not taxing rain out there like our governor did about 10 years ago....

It's state trust land and not easy to transfer, so we may get a 100-year lease for a dollar a year with an option to buy. The town still is going to require building permits to make sure we are up to code. We're fortunate that we will not be required to join an HOA since the log cabin is residential, but we got around that by adding a ranger station/museum/gift shop, making it commercial.

Jim, title insurance is not necessary since this is a land grant. Just to be sure, I checked with our governor, but she was too busy getting ready for the campaign trail to take time for us common folk.
The first load of material arrived even though it won't be needed for a while. It's the chain link fencing. It arrived in 140' rolls, and, of course, they unrolled it already.

It will be moved to our storage area until needed.
What I found was that they actually used a huge grease splatter screen (available at Walmart in up to 150' diameter N scale). and cut it in 6' strips. Clever little guys, except that they forgot to deliver the poles.
