The site next door has been cleaned up for the most part. The only major task remaining is to demolish the mobile home, but that won’t happen until Spring 2025. Had to pay 350 bucks for the roll off dumpster I filled with the demolished RV camper and received 395 dollars for the van at the local scrap yard. Will get that pile of crushed stone spread ASAP so we can begin using the new property entrance.
We had a plan to vote early, so decided to celebrate a little by having breakfast in Nashville, then on to the polling place. Nashville IN is a popular tourist stop year round, but is crazy in the Fall because of the hills and thick forests. People arrive in droves to shop in the village and drive around the county admiring the Fall foliage. The 10 minute wait for a table at the diner was longer than the line to vote. By the time we finished our meal, the line outside went around the corner. There were 3 voters ahead of us at the polling place.
Looking back, it took us about 15 months to construct this haven. After basic unpacking, I declared myself wasted and spent; void of any energy to get the project 100% completed. That was about 15 months ago. It wasn’t like I stopped doing anything productive, I simply dialed way back, to how much of my day was spent relaxing versus working projects. I’m pleased to report that I’ve got the spark again. After we closed on the trashed, eyesore property next door, I couldn’t stand to look at the mess any longer. With that completed, I have started working in the shop to get shelves up so we can get our stuff from the storage unit, off the floor and put away, allowing us to pull cars inside the shop ahead of winter. Don’t worry – I got used to relaxing and will continue that habit, I’m just making an adjustment to get a little more done each day. Unless I get an offer from a friend to goof off, of course….
