Rafters, and more about doing things from the outside-in…
I left off with the gable walls being framed and the temporary floor put up over the living room on top of the beams. Here’s what’s happened in the last week or so:
Jeff and I got to work last Thursday evening on framing the roof. It started with the...
Sushi dates, mischievous napping ducks, and more house updates.
We are actually doing an okay job maintaining some sense of balance so far during this crazy summer. We are sore and tired a lot, but we are still smiling at each other and connected, so I’m calling it a win so far. I’ve found I’m less inclined to...
Walls and stuff!
One week has gone by since my last post, and it’s hard to believe how much has changed in that time. This whole kit-house thing has been amazing in that regard. So much of the guess work and the head scratching (although I won’t say there hasn’t been any…)...
Let things flow naturally forward…
We took the weekend to rest and hang with family by a beautiful lake. It was good to just take two full days and just *stop*. We still thought about all our projects and had our worries, but we all got to see each other and read and splash...
I gotta soul that I won’t sell…
Jeff has been up early to work on the house the past few days, often for 12+ hours, and so we’ve been finding little ways to connect and stay grounded. It’s nice that the sun rises so early these days. We’ve started a new ritual of a morning coffee...
More house progress (and other things too)
We are building a house! For real! We’ve gotten all the way to the framing portion of house building. Jeff is taking off work until the 10th of July (starting tomorrow!), and I’m taking a little time off of market/deliveries to focus on supporting the whole process. As time...
Big update!
Here’s the quick and dirty update, because if I don’t get it out there it’ll all be so backed up I won’t cover it.
End of April:
Vera and I and my mom went to Monterey, MA for a few days to celebrate...
On balance and house stuff and magic
I haven’t talked much about my healing from my brain injury 2.5 years ago, but I’d like to make a dedicated post at some point. I continue to learn through my healing, but I wanted to touch on one concept today. Every time I go into my doc’s office...
Hydroponics and expansion
These microgreens, I tell ya. There were more than a few moments where I thought I couldn’t hang on to the business over the last year. First of all, they are finicky little buggers (which, despite the hassle, has given me lots of food for thought). Add to that...
A quick list.
It’s been almost two months since I wrote here, which I think might be a record since I started writing in this way to begin with- back when I was 14 and filled paper journals late at night. I have felt the absence of this space, although I can...
