Big news

Real-life stuff has been going on here that has had me preoccupied. I'm still kind of surprised it worked out, but I just finished signing all the papers today and we are going to be getting a new house. A real house this time, not a mobile home.

Unfortunately, it means I'll be without internet access for a few weeks, probably most of April. I'll probably lock the blog down as "private" since I won't be able to monitor comments and so forth, but it will still be a couple of weeks until that time.

I have lots of prep work to do so I might be even scarcer than usual around here for a while.

Clarifications: We are not moving. We are just going to be uprooted for a while during the transition. So, we'll still be living in the same place. We are not moving into someone else's old house. The new house is partly pre-fab and will be set up here after our old house is removed. But the new one is permanent. It isn't the kind of house you can just stick axles on and drag out again someday. It will never be removed in my lifetime.

Thanks to everone for the comments!

  4. Maybe it's an older home (50+ years) and you can share our constant homeowner joy!

    Seriously, there's nothing like it. I lived in a MH for 15 years and now live in a great house so I speak from experience.
