If I Known Sooner!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Mother Nature is driving us NUTS!   Grr!!!

We are trying so hard to get a little more done each day, but it is not easy when Mother Nature won't cooperate!

A few weeks ago, we bought a shed that someone had already completed most of the house conversions. There is very little that will need to be done to it, once it is delivered.

The delivery guys even called to ask what day we would like the house delivered.  

Good question!  We don't have to do much to get ready for it.  All we need, is just some rock to make the ground 100% level, and that's it.

But it has to stop raining☔🌧☔, and dry out, before this can happen...or the Gravel Guy will get stuck!

But take a look at these pictures...

This is our current reality, and rain is forecast for the next 10 out of 15 days!

Oh, well, just gotta do what we can do, and wait until we can do the rest, I guess! 

Unless, any of you know an anti-rain dance!  💃💃💃  Then, we might be hiring you!!  💸💰💸

Valentine's Day Present?! What Do You Think?

What happens when you take a little bit of winter doldrums, upcoming Valentine's Day, the thought of needing just a little more space...and mix them together with a fantastic deal?

You have your husband get you a 2nd shed to turn into a house, of course!!!  After all, isn't that what all of you men are buying your woman this year for Valentine's Day 💖? LOL

Now, stop laughing! We actually had been talking lately of just a little more room,  and how we should go about this. Details like cost, placement, and the like were discussed for a while.  

So, we headed back over to the Prairie Built Barns lot to get some inspiration by looking at sizes, shapes, etc. to help us plan out our details.  

And found a fantastic deal that will be perfect!  This little baby has insulation, drywall, a bathroom, a small room, most electrical, a ladder to the loft, and flooring throughout the building.  It is exactly the same size as our cabin, which is 14x40.  

We still plan on living in the house that we had first.  This will always be called the Cabin by us.  However, since we were unable to get the blow-in insulation guy scheduled before the weather turned cold, it has been a glorified storage building through the winter.

Our plans with the 2nd building will be to temporarily live in it first, and move our boxes and furniture out of the Cabin.  It needs to be emptied, and completely ready for the insulation guy as soon as the weather starts getting warmer.

As soon as we have our cabin completely ready for us, then our temporary house will become the Guest House. We will use it for other things, too...storage, the hubby's Man Cave, who knows!!

The area to the east of the Cabin was being planned out as a patio area for quite a while. Now, we will place the Guest House on the other side of that area, and the patio will be perfect for entertaining between the two houses. 

So, who would like to be our first guests?? There might be the possibility of being a carpenter's assistant, or something though!  It will be fun!! 

Here are a few shots of the Guest House:
