Sunday.... it's October now. Hard for me to believe. wow...
We had a miraculously dry day today and I pulled all the workers from the cabin plus friends to move furniture. We got the (infamous) couch moved along with all the heavy book cases, art pieces, etc.... and the cabin is definitely loaded!! All that is left in the apartment is a bed, tv, couple computers and my bathroom junk. Whew... it's doable now. The owner of the house flew over from Maui but rented me the place for another week so I can recover.
The incredible mud caused us to take four hours for three truckloads and the experience was reminiscent of the Keystone cops! I personally fell into a foot deep mudhole, fell to my back and was in mud slop from my shoulders to ankles. I did manage, however, to save the couch cushion I was carrying from hitting the mud so all in all it was a great success.
The cabin is having a composting toilet created and built on the spot by a really talented man, Theo Lupien. The workers have three walls framed out so it's more than half way in... couple days and a few more supplies and we are there
Bill got the bath tub installed in the greenhouse bathing house (yep, it's pretty much outdoors) and Billy has the entire floor tiled with cool tile we got through Freecycling. The electricians have miraculously run the hot electric line in the underground trench right past the cabin, so in 48 hours we should have the cabin on full power. Tomorrow I shop for the tankless waterheater, pump, pressure tank and refrigerator. Money money money... yikes.. but living will be good.
Again, thanks to my many friends, old and new, for their continuous support during this most recent complication in the process. I love you guys!!!!
Just another day in P A R A D I S E !!

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!"
