You know, I have such good intentions when I blog – gonna write something several times a week. Gonna document everything. Gonna be on top of it. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
So here it is February and my last entry was October? You may smack me now.
Arright. So we’re still in this rental. Kind of expected to be in the log house by now, but of course, all the best laid plans . . . you know the drill.
The roof is almost on, but we had to stop when winter hit and everything became icy and slick. Didn’t want John sliding off the roof. So the Eagle panels with the Titanium covering are keeping any weather out – it just looks unfinished. The back side is still unfinished. John and Birdman (resident helper) have been working on the inside. Running electrical w/an electrician contractor. Putting in the windows (the windows are REALLY nice – Andersens double paned argon filled), building the kitchen island, installing the bathtub and shower basins. Puttering. He did get the wood stove installed with the chimney and they have been running that the whole time, so it stays fairly warm in there during these cold days.
And now here we are at crunch time. We have limited funds left and we have to get out of this rental because it’s just taking money that we should be putting into the house. Today we bought a nice 5th wheel that we will stay in while we work on finishing the house. It’s going to be tight – with two teenagers – but it will be on-site, close to the house, on our OWN property and we can have close access to the house and will probably get things done much faster.
Lets hope so. Because if we thought this mobile home rental was small – just wait until we are 3 or 4 weeks into the trailer! That’s OK. Gotta do what we gotta do.
