Ground was broken. Seriously, it was. It's going to be the leach field, but at least something is happening.
Garden is in.
And corn has vanished.
Will plant more next week.
DH has been fixing damaged roofs of family members.

Once again, with feeling.

Spring is here. Garden is halfway in. Plans for house are done. Finances are cut by 1/5 so plans for house have to be redone. But ... It. Will. Happen.

Now it's freezing

Too much time has passed since I wrote in here.

We were turned down for a mortgage. We bought a 26' travel trailer with idea being we would at least be able to build a small cabin as extra room for the winter. But we didn't. So, now we are trying to make it through this awful Iowa winter in a trailer not equipped to be lived in in these extreme conditions.

DH lined the bottom with pink board, wrapped all exposed lines and remodeled the interior to have countertops and cabinets instead of a couch.

Septic is an issue because the leech field is not in.

Yesterday, our refrigerator stopped working because it had gotten too cold! The ammonia liquids had gelled. DH worked very hard to remedy the situation and by last night it was working again.

Plastic on all the windows has helped, and a de-humidifier to remove moisture (ice) from the windows has helped as well.

I also picked up one of those Eden Pur heaters, but it isn't working very well. I had really hoped that it would warm the entire trailer, no problem. So far, BIG PROBLEM.
It's freakin' freezin in here.
