More Delays and the Irony of it
I was almost dead certain I was going to go to the farm this past weekend for two days of building bliss but my plans fell through last minute and instead I spent it working on my big house. The irony is that the free house project was born from my frustration with how trapped I feel in my big house, and now it’s the big house keeping me from the tiny house.
At first it was the resale value plummeting which is now down about 40%; yep I’ve lost almost half the value from the peak market price. But the other trapping quality is the time my house takes to maintain. This one, being about 35 years old, has had some deferred maintenance and it seems like every time I turn around I have to fix, prune, mow, or clean something else.
I’m still planning on taking time off from work but June is looking really packed with previous obligations. I think I may take advantage of the good weather and run some garage sales so I can sell the odds and ends I’ve collected. I may also try to tackle some woodworking projects around here like build the tiny house’s front door. Maybe that will help me eliviate some of the frustration I’m feeling and make some real progress too.
Have been following this project for a long time. Just had a thought – and it just might not be possible – but can you not take the house to your big one? Put it in the back.
Then every ’spare’ moment could be spent on it.
Of course I do not know the conditions of where you live – but if you could that would so much be the way to go…
Anyway thanks for the great read and the links you provide
