Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 134

Imagine our surprise when all meetings with Mr. Contractor fell through this week. All is not lost, though. He hired a reliable sub-contractor who will get the job done. I met with Mr. Sub-Contractor Friday and gave him a deposit for the work. His company poured the basement walls last fall, and he has us … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 134

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 133

Theoretically, Mr. Contractor will be on the property tomorrow to get some additional measurements before getting started on the rest of our building. Theoretically. I’ll believe it when I see it. All this uncertainty plays hell in our psyche. With all the false starts over the last two and a half years, it’s hard to … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 133

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 132

It’s getting harder to update the same ol’ post every week, but here we go: No progress on our house—still. (C) 2023, JJ ShaunSame old, same old. The crappy weather pattern has shifted from snow every Wednesday to snow every Friday into Saturday. That means that the grandkids’ soccer games keep getting postponed as well. … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 132

Warmth, At Last

(C) 2022, JJ Shaun It seems Mother Nature can’t quite make up her mind. Last Friday, it snowed most of the day, and we got a few inches of the wet, heavy white stuff. Most of it had melted by Saturday afternoon as the daytime temperatures warmed up once more. The weather-guessers predicted rain for … Continue reading Warmth, At Last

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 131

We woke up to snow yesterday morning. Again. Of course, by the afternoon, it was gone again. Welcome to Springtime in the Rockies, my friends. Now that the weather roller coaster has arrived, we expect to have enough dry days to expect a move, followed by enough rain, snow, or both, to delay the process … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 131

The Road to Irewick

The group left Suncall early in the afternoon. They made their first camp at the spot where they agreed to meet Geordo. The man had moved on to Irewick, according to his message marker. As they traveled, Skrie got used to the harness she and Malusk had made in Suncall. It allowed her to ride … Continue reading The Road to Irewick

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 130

Happy Easter to those who celebrate. I hope your day is filled with joy and transformation. Good Friday was a day of news for us. We heard from Mr. Contractor that the basement slab should be poured by this time next week. After that, he will bring up the I-beams and get the rest of … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 130

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 129

The meme says it all: Two weeks ago, we were looking at having a dry access road by this time. Mother Nature, apparently, had other plans. Winter wants to hang on tight, and spring keeps pushing back. Consequently, our weather pattern is on a roller coaster. Also, being downstream from California puts us in line … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 129

In Honor of Lost Family and Friends

The beginning of 2023 has had plenty of bittersweet memories, and it’s only March. Late last month, I heard from a young lady I used to babysit. Her dad passed away. Her dad and my dad were the best of friends when I was growing up. We’d lived in our little town on our dead-end … Continue reading In Honor of Lost Family and Friends

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 128

Mother Nature isn’t quite done having her way with us yet. This past week brought more wet, spring snow and tumbling temperatures to the region. I don’t expect the snow on the property to last long, though. A week from now, the warmth will have returned. The next several weeks will be the usual weather … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 128

Life of Chaz

Books, games, music, and life — filtered through the mind of a writer, drummer, and philosopher who thinks too deeply about all of it. If it moves something in your chest, I'm interested.
