Wow! That’s quite a bit to comprehend. I wish you and your lady all the best in moving through this.

^^^ Thank You.

My gracious cee_Kamp I'm sorry to hear this. Looks like you and your girl friend are making the best of it and living full time at that beautiful location will be special.

^^^ We are trying.

Wow, quite a kick in the crotch. No doubt, if anyone can power through this, it will be you two. Prayers are offered. There is power in prayer.

Very sorry to hear of her situation, sounds like you have a good plan and will get out to your property earlier is never a bad thing, sure you'll have plenty of things to do once you are there enjoying the location and all your work!

Hahaha. Love the boss cee_kamp

^^^ ORC,
Hagar is his name, three years old. His older sister/buddy Helga passed last year from canine lymphoma at age eight.
He is a mixed breed Mini-Bulldog. A deliberate mix from our now retired Bulldog breeder, 3/4 French Bulldog, 1/4 Old English Bulldog.
We've never had such a loyal, friendly, and playful dog. He's a living breathing cartoon.
He's no "Attack Dog" at 38 pounds, but his sentry skills are over the top.
He's a Momma's Boy, and completely understands something is wrong with his "Mommy" so he's very "clingy" now.

What were acorn sized bumps on the bucks heads a week ago, now the horns in velvet are clearly visible! This one should be a bruiser.

My adjoining neighbor to the east of our rural recreational property sent me a trail camera picture several days ago.
I figure his trail camera is located about one quarter mile from the front porch of the cabin.
What time is it? It's picnic basket time!

Best wishes for you and GF to enjoy your time together and hoping for a full measure of happiness in a beautiful surrounding.

We measured the cabin accurately on Sunday. For purchasing Rock Wool insulation.
The first floor is all 2" x 4" construction and 16" on center.
The second story end walls are also the same.
The gambrel roof trusses are 2" x 6" construction and 16" on center.
So two different thickness types when we go and buy a trailer load of Rock Wool.

We paid $5000 to our friend & neighbor today. It's time to get going on the new "pounded" water well.
