Turtle Speed

Our "Fortress of Isolation" is moving forward at a very slow rate of speed. We keep asking them if it will be liveable by the end of September and they keep telling us it will be. But it is hard to believe them when we see nothing happening for days on end. In Minnesota the building season is short. 6-7 months, tops. As we wait for things to happen, we look at the calendar, we get worried that time is running out and there is so much left to do.

Here's what has gone on in the last 10 days.

The concrete people came and leveled the ground inside and out. They also put insulation along the walls. That took them a day.Once that was done the plumber came in and roughed in the plumbing. That took another day.

Our RV sewer connection.

Bathroom and kitchen plumbing.

Utility room.

So now we are waiting for the concrete people to come back and regrade it again. Install the rebar and lay down the foam. Once the foam is done the plumber will come in and install the floor heat.I am going to pause here for a little rant. The blogger website that I use has gone and changed the format of the whole website. WHY? If something works, don't mess with it. Or give a person the option to use the old one or the new one. I don't know why all of the sudden everything is underlined and in a different color. I have wasted 10 minutes of my time trying to figure it out.  I inserted a picture and that is what happened. Why do people always feel the need to change S**t?Back to the topic at hand. Things that Lisa was been working on in the mean time have been ordering gutters. She ordered our wood burning stove. Also our propane tank has been delivered.

Those little white flags in the foreground are where our new well will be going. We got that taken care of and we should have water in less than 2 weeks now. So there are things getting done and once the concrete is in it will move at a faster pace we hope. There is so much that needs to get done in such a short amount of time.We also started building a first aid kit. You know for those times that Lisa has those accidents. She is very accident prone for some reason.

I carry it around like the guy carrying the briefcase with the nuclear codes following the president. Just to be safe.

One more thing. Frankenleg is healing fine. She got all of the stitches out now. She will have a great conversation starter as she sits by the fire.

"What happened to your leg?' an inquisitive camper will ask.

"You should have seen what my husband did to me, bless his soul." She will say.

That's how I picture the conversation going but in reality there may be many more expletives. 

You can hardly tell anything happened. 

Things will start to move at a more rapid pace I think so stay tuned.
