Day 25 – Living the Dream.
We are both truly exhausted this morning, well actually all mornings. It takes awhile to get motivated. We go through periods where each of us say “I WANT TO GO HOME” – Haha, but where is home? After we sit awhile and listen to the happy birds or it may be that the caffeine starts running through our veins, we gain our motivation. We then start moving and decide to do what we need to do “GET THE HOME BUILT”. If you talk to anyone who has built a house, the hardest part is getting out of the ground. We are getting there. Ordered the 3000 psi concrete for the footings today and it will be delivered on Tuesday. The price is reasonable at $121.00 a yard.
Modified stone was delivered today for using around the foundation.
White trim is now painted on cabin and shutters are up. It looks so cute.
Footings are being dug. It rained so much this afternoon that the clay dirt is a slippery mess.
So in other news I had an exciting afternoon. A huge, I mean huge snake slithered out from under our cabin and headed to the side weeds. No idea what kind it was. Steve says a Copperhead and a friend said a Bull snake. The receptionist at the local physical therapy office said a Rat snake. I don’t care what you call it, it is a snake! I can take the ticks, bees, and mice. But snakes under my cabin is a big nooooooo! I am buying high work boots. I can’t believe I am saying that, since I love nice women’s shoes. That was the largest snake I have ever seen in the wild.
Put together an outdoor counter height table today.
See I can do some things to help. I also, do shopping, decorating, ordering supplies, organizing, tool and cabin cleaning, and cooking. Yes, I am busy. I keep being asked what do you do all day. You must be bored they say. Well, I don’t think so.
Today’s product recommendations are: 1) I love my new outdoor counter height table. I bought it thinking it would be perfect to use now and on the new house’s deck. I am actually considering buying another one, and 2) You can’t get enough Softsoap. We use at picnic table hand washing station and by cabin sink. Constantly washing our hands. Here’s the Amazon links to these products:
