Property Search & Renos
Who wouldn’t want a cabin in the woods or on a lake? We started thinking about first steps. We have been scouring the local real estate listings for vacant land. This weekend we drove around and looked at a few of them. It wasn’t a great start as on Saturday we headed down a long, winding, snow-covered road only to get stuck at the end of it when I attempted to turn around! I had visions of living in the van until spring. Luckily, Laura had a bag of old clothes that we strategically placed under the van’s tires and got out of the mess I had gotten us into. The search continued and we found some promising lots. It required walking through knee high snow, but it was fun.
We also looked at some options for cabins. I found a company that rents out off-grid tiny cabins. After a couple days of research we booked a couple of days in one of the cabins. It will be a good way to know if we like the experience and want to pursue that as an option on the eventual vacant land.
Laura continues to work hard at re-doing the office in the house. She has ripped out a closet and now we are trying to figure out how to fix and drywall the area.
I was able to do some workouts this weekend as well. I feel like it is an uphill climb to get back to being fit again. I will keep plugging away.
Swim=5.1 kms, Bike=71 kms, Run=21.2 kms. Total=97.3 kms.
See you at the next finish line….
