Things you wish you could say

It will take about a year for mine to be built. I had to sell my old house to finish paying for this house and I can't afford to rent a place. I'm spending all of my money on my dream/retirement house.
:bow

Sometimes you do what you gotta do to get what you wanna get. Every day you are closer to that dream house! I applaud your effort.

:clap
 
Wow, something happened to you with a simple and obvious explanation that you've rejected and replaced with your own highly unlikely version again? Color me surprised. :rolleyes:


Also, gee, when you bought those you swore up and down that the company send you the wrong thing because of your ~magical~ way of knowing, yet now that some time has passed and it's become clear they aren't the wrong thing you're just going to pretend you never said that? Convenient.
 
You're a brave soul! :clap
You do what you have to. People are often tougher than they think. I've been on my own since I was 15. Off and on since I was 12. I'll survive this too, and it will be so worth it when the house is done!

I have toilets as of yesterday!

Yay!! We knoe EXACTLY how you feel! We homesteaded on 5 acres in a 12x16 foot cabin with loft on a basement. No electricity for 2 years. We lived like Amish (i can say that- we have a huge Amish community & know more Amish then Englishers). We has a wood stove for heat & cooking, used gas lanterns, and played cards and road snowmobile for entertainment. For showers, we went to the truckstop weekly. A generator was run once a day to fill up the bladder in the basement so we could have cold running water for flushing & the sink.

I remember well our first flush (via generator) was a joy!

Fast forward 22 years later. We added on, half of it is still unfinished, and we long for those simpler days.

I'm a city woman and an IT geek. I miss my electronics and creature comforts. I know I will have them again, and that the sacrifice now will get me the dream home that I've been wanting for decades.

Today was my second day in a row with a hot shower. I think I'm in heaven. There's a sink in the laundry room now where I can brush my teeth and do some dishes.

Yes!!! We used a pedestal sink for that. It was a long time before we could save enough for a hot water heater - 5 gallon! 5 minute shower!
