Hurricane Idilia was a no Blow

 After all the weeks worth of prepping before the hurricane came, it was well worth the work because I now have my porch turned into a solarium.  It saved my plants from the low winds we had and a place for our second litter box just in case we have a storm and Moxy stays in. Now I will have to paint, caulk. and rearrange rest of furniture. We are putting in A/C . By the time I finish it will be the best thing that came out of that hurricane! We put up shelves to have my dollhouses a place too. I added a few plants to give it some life. It is one more project marked off my list of to do's! At least I accomplished a great deal of stuff today. I think it will help me sleep good tonight. 

The build is on

Well, I am off and running!

I started my house project this week. Plans all done and marked my boundaries and staked them out. I spent the day clearing shrubs and raking leaves and my helper cut a few trees for me.  Here are some before and after shots of what I got done before it started to sprinkle.

This is my plans the dining room (which is our living room now) and bedroom are the only part of the house that we have right now that we are keeping which is in this plan as it will be after the new addition. That first addition was added to a 1970's trailer that is rapidly falling apart. I made the plans keeping in mind that all new plumbing will be in the new addition to cut cost too.
The old trailer will be torn down and the outside of the house will be cord-wood. This is the cheapest route I could come up with for very little money and trust me I have made 100's of plans and revamps in the last few years.
Tired for now, but will be ready to get back at it tomorrow. We are ordering block soon as we dig out the footers. I will be starting on them tomorrow if it don’t rain.
