Yep, bought a piece of dirt a little over a year ago.
Going through the house-building process now.
...Septic Designs $$$
...Surveyor $$$
...Well system $$$
...Excavating $$$
...Septic Installation $$$
...did I mention, $$$$ and $$$$$$ some more.
I've been trying to fish when I can but my job has me doing some night-time software upgrades and of course, this company uses dial-up and the software is coming in through the phone-line...zzzzZZZzzzz......and the last 2 nights we experienced power outages during the upgrade, I still can't believe these things are taking me over 12 hours to complete
. Then I get home around 6am and there are contractors unloading their work truck to do some remodeling in the apartment below my bedroom. I go fish to kill some time but am exhausted....I get back home and try to get some shut-eye....
they start using an electric hammer to put a floor in
....I end up sleeping in a small room in the basement on some cardboard boxes with my blankie
....been doing upgrades for 3 weeks, contractors been in and out for 2 of the 3 weeks. Wake up to missed calls from contractors with prices......at least the fish are keeping me relatively sane, the fish are being VERY cooperative but I'm finding that I'm not enjoying it much because all I can think is $$$house$$$$, not being able to sleep, $$$$, EYECURUMBA, $$$$ and more $$$
..someone please tell me it's going to get better,
..$$$$$$
