Oh, I forgot to explain the name.
So, initially we had 12 telephone poles to support the main structure. We built it off the ground almost 6' to keep things above flood level and they're good for a hundred years or more due to being Cedar and treated with Creosote.
If you look at a telephone pole in your area, you'll see an alphanumeric code on it. This is to identify which pole someone is talking about if a problem develops down the road, like a tree leaning into it or a car hits it or something. The telephone company can plug that number in to the computer system and quickly dispatch a Line Crew out to it without wasting precious time looking for it. Something along the lines of : "Pole AHV834, between A & B Streets, 4th pole down."
So we built the first structure, the main part of the cabin, and just by random coincidence, most of the letters & numbers were gone on the near left corner and all that was left was 'L5', and it was facing out toward the river like we'd done it intentionally. Someone said that must be the address to the cabin, because it was in the same metal numbers you see on regular residential houses in town, and it stuck.
Now when anyone says L5, everyone knows exactly what cabin is being referred to.
