We'll know when. at closing, we have the keys to the cottage we have earnest money on

We are pitching in with the dig out, and tomorrow will commence with the carriage house rooves

There have been times I've wanted to throw in the towel and concentrate on cabin life

But

In spite of the owner's lack of effort, we'll knock it out
Even if we have to invest another few thousand

We're also gonna keep the cabin property
If for no other reason, people go nuts with the virus thing
…..aaand I get to target practice out there
and see the night sky

If all goes well, we'll also purchase another property, one heavy with aspen
and, you guessed it, build a cabin
Then sell the one we have

Hey, I'm a wood butcher
 

Well, we're in it now.

Talked to the owner and his wife
Very very nice people
Asked him straight out;
'You gonna be outa here by closing?'
'Yes, we have a place to go'

I'm feelin' good now

Commenced redoing the carriage shed roofs today

Geeeeze
Haven't done much labor since we moved from the cabin

We....are.....pooped!

We're back home at the bungalow
Both sorer than heck
Both groaning with every move, and that's just from repositioning ourselves in our lay-z-boys
…..sounding like we're having orgasms every five minutes

Has the missus decided which one is going to be yours?

Well, after completing necessary repairs, and seeing others that will surely be deemed necessary, we're backing out of our little purchase.

Too many issues.

We realize we're gonna lose our earnest money, the money spent on repair materials, and the $1000 we fronted my buddy so he could pay his people for the dig out, we feel we'll be money ahead.

No longer conflicted on a decision

Quite the adventure

Back to the cabin

Where we belong

Maybe in a year or two we'll look for another place in town
But, not yet

I wonder if my little buddy survived the winter

Gary is it possible that some of the money that would've gone into the town house could be used to improve some of the off-grid systems at the cabin.

It seems like installing a wind or solar-powered electric system and keeping a snowmobile in the tarpport would make life a little easier/safer for year-round living at the cabin.

Good luck!

Money is not an issue

But, yeah, we've got a list of improvements to make out there

One main one will be getting a rather large snow blower

Like this one;

We'll convert the front cabin to solely cooking and dining

I'll add my office to a bump out off the shop

There are many many other smaller improvements to tend to out there
......and plenty of time

We are both quite excited about it all

I may dabble with solar, but it's not at the top of my list
.....unless Tesla or somebody has come up with a more efficient, longer living battery

Wind generator? Nada
Don't get much for the money

I'll soon switch back to my other (cabin) diary, once we get shed of this adventure
