See that long line of fir trees along our driveway. . . well at the end of that driveway is the new house that we've been building for almost 7 years. The super good news is that yesterday we got our final inspection, passed and signed off with the county building dept. Woo-Who!!! So now we'll be able to pursue refinancing - Finally. It took lots of little and not so little loans to get this thing close to completed.
Next step is laying the wood floor downstairs so the finisher can come in and make it beautiful. Then we pick carpet, have it installed and move in. Last step * * * P A R T Y O N!!!
Back to reality - we'll need to rent out this MH and that's something we don't look forward to at all. I can tell you we've have more "bad" (or let's just say "interesting" renters than we've had "wonderful" renters. Then there's the big idea I have rattling around in this mental maze of a brain, to turn the space into a workshop / small retreat type spot, all set up with work tables, etc. with room to sleep up to 8, full kitchen, two baths and a washer and dryer. I can see quilters, painters, scrapbookers, mixed media artists, and girlfriend gatherings utilizing this space. Most importantly it would be a place to escape to. . . away from the tv, the phone, the kids, the to-do lists. A place to indulge ones-self in creative exploration or simply to finish a project. And that's part of my vision for "Alsea Art Farm".
