time marches on...
... and I wish I could keep up with it.
It looks as if the snow season might finally be done (knock on wood). We managed to make our way through the process of creating drawings and getting a building permit. Have been levelling the area where the cabin will go, burying water lines and electrical lines. Looks like today I need to take down a couple trees that could fall on things if the wind comes from a direction it hardly ever comes from, but the only place to stand and cut them is right in their most likely path. Maybe I'll chicken out and start digging out the area where the drain lines need to go. With luck we may be able to pour the foundation in around 3 weeks.
My pipe shop is totally buried under house parts. I can't even get close enough to reach over and touch the lathe. Too many things to do and not enough time to do them all.
What a mess. I'm hoping we'll get the place ready to live in before the winter snows start up again. If we don't run out of money first. I feel like a little kid mommy is taking for a walk, getting tired of walking but too big for mommy to carry, just have to suck it up and keep going.
I think about cutting down trees and wonder where I'll put the things once they're down, all the flat spots are reserved for building. I think about digging more holes... my gawd the dirt is hard, my pick has a few inches worn off the business end. I think about going back to the city and making the easy money sitting in a cubicle and decide maybe I'll just get another pick when this one's worn out instead.
Whoever's reading this, y'all stay well.
