how many days 'til houseguest start to smell? Not so many....

Date sort Score sort
Thinking about this. What happens when they move away? Who owns they Yurt? Believe me, I am on your side, but I just thought about that when they were talking about squatter's rights a few posts up. Are you going to have to let them come back every year? Are you going to have to pay them for what they spent on the house? I for one would never build a house I don't own but I was just wondering what their plans are about that.

It's removable.. the platform is 8 triangles, and the yurt is a 2 days up or down kind of thing... they will take it with them, and (i hope) fill in the holes left over from the 9 cinder blocks underneath.

Ok, good to know. The only Yurts I have seen are big permanent jobs, so I wasn't sure how this one was going to work.​
 
House-guests are like fish after a few days they start to stink!

Tomorrow it'll have been 1 week... driving me NUTS! left a food wrapper on my dining room table... but did wash out the bowl I used to make tortillas... but I gave them 4 tortillas, so maybe that evened it out. I really want a situation that doesn't negatively impact me. either neutral, or positive! I am positively infliencing their lives by letting them share the land, but I want a neighbor kind of situation, not a roommate one!!! And it;s going to be raining, literally, for the next 7 days at least (as far as my weather widget goes)... so probably no construction during that week... and I totally understand! It's not like I expect, for one second, that they're going to be out in the lightning, pounding nails. In fact, I'm awake now (12-30am) because the thunder is so loud, and the lighning is so bright, and the rain is insane.... so hopefully we can all just keep our distance... somehow... in my small house...

they're still in the house. but are doing a pretty good job staying out of my hair. The latest FIASCO is that they've been cooking in my house, and are not real neat about it. I keep finding puddles of 'oil' from their cooking (MY EGGS) every morning. I just found out that the stuff they've been cooking with, in my frying pans is... DUCK GREASE. I nearly fainted. I am a vegetarian, and i have pet ducks. It's about as repulsive as if I'd found out they were using toddler grease to cook food. so, they get to keep my frying pan, and I can't make crepes until I get a new one. I do not want to be anywhere near duck grease. poor ducks! the platform is almost done, and if it weren't going to rain here the next 7 days, I think they'd be out... but the weather is terrible!
 
thanks for the well wishes... they're about to start earning their keep... I've got 13 chickens, 7 ducks, a goose, a cat, a dog, 7 turkey chicks, 6 Sex links, 3 bantams, 10 EE chicks, 2 ancona chicks, 2 ducklings, 2 salmon faverolle chicks, 8 egyptian fayoumi chicks, and a silver laced wyandotte chick. (no, i refuse to add these up to see how many chicks i have!) and am going away for 4 nights and 5 days... they are housesitting. I am going to make it as idiot proof as possible, and I think it'll all be fine. No pasty butts, illnesses, or other issues.... i'm visiting my husbands grandmother, and we really NEED to make this trip, and I couldn't do it otherwise! So I'm glad they're going to be earning their keep a little bit! ALmost makes up for the duck pan...
