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

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

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

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 127

First Reader and I drove up to the property to look-see at what’s left of the snow. The short answer: Not much. The mud, however, is another story. While the snow is melting, there are still plenty of patches where thick, sticky mud would make heavy equipment operators miserable. (C) 2023, JJ ShaunThe view from … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 127

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 126

First Reader and I drove up to drool in our new house this past week again. Despite the high winds repeatedly ripping some of the protection from the roof (the company keeps putting more back on), it looks good. No squatters of either the four- or two-legged variety have moved in. Those have been a … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 126

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 125

Happy New Year, everyone. After a couple of weeks of shouting into the Void about still being displaced, First Reader and I have accepted that the dream of returning to the mountain will have to wait until Spring. Having heard from our sales rep this week, she confirmed what we were beginning to suspect—the house … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 125

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 124

Merry Christmas, everyone. Nothing has changed on the building front. The ‘bomb cyclone’ that blew across the United States last week prevented much of anything from happening—well, that and the holidays. Our household spent the coldest days bundled up inside, grateful the power didn’t go out like it did in some regions. The hardest part … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 124

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 123

After another week of waiting, we’re still looking for a team to bring our home up the mountain. We’ve had bites but no commitments—yet. I don’t know why we expected this part of the building process to be any different than the rest of it has been. After all, it’s been an uphill struggle all … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 123

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 122

This has been a frustrating and depressing week as our building process is in limbo. I called our sales rep this week to ask about the status of getting someone to drag our modular up the hill. The news was dismal, to say the least. All the macho men who last summer crowed about how … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 122
