Here we are...11weeks. We celebrated with no hot water this morning. Apparently the pilot light went out on the water heater at some point overnight. The only good thing about having a 6 gallon water heater is that it doesn't take too long for it to heat up. I was able to get a semi-warm shower...lesson of the day: never take for granted hot water, or even lukewarm water! Another lesson from this weekend is that a camper toilet isn't much different than a porto potty....just an observation. However, I will choose my camper toilet over a porto potty any day. While I may choose it, I certainly won't miss it. I also won't miss the lack of insulation in the camper. The last few nights have gotten down in the 40's and while we have a furnace in the camper (thank goodness!) the camper doesn't exactly hold the heat all that great. Oh, and an update with the cooler weather....no, I couldn't find the winter clothes in the garage because they are apparently in the boxes at the middle and the very bottom of the 10'x20' mountain of totes and boxes holding all the things that we haven't really needed all that much the last 11 weeks. After purchasing some long pants for the boys last night, I came home this evening to find Joel's only pair of tennis shoes in the camper that fit him, caked in mud all the way up the sides and even on the shoe laces. HOW does this happen??? He said he was just walking and happened to stepped in a mud puddle. The lesson here....no mud puddle near a construction site us JUST a mud puddle. It may look like a mud puddle but it is actually a mud pit that will suck you in and may you think your foot is in China. Now, normally when the boys have a case of severely muddy, I would clean them off outside and then put them in my handy dandy dryer with the shoe rack so that the shoes would be dry the next day. Since we don't have my handy dandy dry with shoe rack available, the old fashioned way will have to work. A shoe drying fire was built by Roger. Now, anyone want to bet if the shoes will actually dry before they catch fire, or melt?? Oh the things that become so much harder when you are living with minimal needs at your finger tips.
Now to address the question, is the end in sight?? Well, we think it is!...but still no real dates to look forward to. I think if the company said, on October 14th we'll be bringing your house to your property, weather permitting, I would feel much, much better. Knowing a specific day will make the end really in sight, until then it's still a little elusive. I don't do uncertain very well! As I understand it right now, we're just waiting for a call that will be 3-4 days in advance of the house being brought to our property. So we sit....and we wait....and the adventure continues.
