So when I looked at this property I told you all about the converted 3 car garage. I was thinking I would be building a new little home elsewhere on the property. Once here, why build? The spot is already here. I moved into the tiny space and have been scrubbing 20 years of soot off the walls etc. Its heated with a HUGE wood stove and gets morning sunshine and its so warm and cozy. Donna! You bought a camper why aren't you living in it? Well after moving in here and having the dogs and cats stressed and then finally adjusting I thought why have them go through it again? I'm warm , they are warm , if I bring the camper up then they have to get used it again and I'll loose the front yard where I put a run for Montgomery until I can put up a dog fence in the spring, So Melissa and Kyle sacrificed their view and said Okay you can leave the camper here until spring. Then we will move into the camper , I'll put up the dog fence and we were start ripping apart the inside of the building. Soon I'll be drawing up some plans, I like the quirkyness of it with the little stained glass bits here and there and the odd and different shaped windows! Any of them that are double paned will probably stay.
So my son in law got my water running ( if you recall someone had come in while the building was vacant and cut out a bunch of copper piping.......) Currently without hot water but I've got a woodstove and a microwave so heat water when I need it. all is good!
I love the chores of day to day living, I get up , dressed in cozy warm clothes and let the dogs out, bring in a load of firewood into the greenhouse which is a great entry way! I sweep up the floors and feed the chickens, dogs and cats, then after getting the fire going again I sit and drink my coffee . On nice days I then take the boys for a short walk since whiskey can't handle a long one. My old boy . I don't have internet yet but hoping to soon but I do have cell service which is amazing!
My chickens are living in the center section of the building and behind those windows is my bedroom...LOL if you note coffee my rooster is parked right in front so at 3:00am he lets me know he's there....LOL and then at 4:00 and 5:00, somehow I'm starting to get used to it and fall right back asleep! I love having them attached to the house but I think they need there own space in the spring !
I love the views from the windows, and yes I have my lawn furniture right now as I left everything else plus it wouldn't fit in here! You know this has really made me think of all the stuff we all collect ...and why? Why do we need so much stuff? I'm currently sitting in the laundry mat and actually enjoying sitting here at a table by the window watching people go by and I'm thinking why not? I may not even get a washer and dryer safe space and since I'm alone now I get to come here and talk to the people in the laundry mat...:) Or on a nice day go out for a walk while I'm waiting. I'm for sure not getting a dishwasher. Simple I want my life to be simple, I want to have to move my body to do things and not take the easy way out. I'm almost smiling sitting here because I'm so glad this has finally happened and I'm so happy.
I've been enjoying going to the girls basketball games and the other day I popped a tire and walked home from the garage a couple miles, it was great...:) Not popping the tire but walking.
So thats my latest update, I just realized I forgot to eat breakfast, I think I need some food!
later gators
