I just read thru these logs for the first time in a long while. Wow, what progress I have made. It is exciting. as the recent rain is burrying us in a mudbog I am reminded of the 6 hours a day I was spending hauling water in buckets and then the joy of reducing it to 3 or so with a portable tank in my jeep. Definitely no water hauling now. 
Good sense of progress because my focus has had to shift to finances, budgets, permits, flooring, counters, tile.... It's nice to escape to the garden for a few hours at a time. All I can say is that hubby and I made an excellent decision not being together during this building time. Stress of the process is a pain I would rather handle alone. He is not "feeling" it so when I share the issues he is clear headed and has good things to say.
The carpenter, Randy, and his family who are living in the little cabin on the land are wonderful to have around. He helps out with lots of little stuff at all the right times. This weekend he is fitting in a tune-up on the old Ford truck we use to haul mulch and supplies and stuff.... yay!
Having good people around has made this project doable. Having all you readers and responders here is also extremely encouraging. You give me good ideas, keep me thinking and most importantly focus me of the successes rather than the failures. MAHALO to you all... keep in touch both email and on here.

May you live in interesting times.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
