After looking at land in Lake County and talking and considering and weighing and discussing, the Family has decided to make an offer. Mom & Dad have hired a handyman to fix up the Reno house in order to have it on the market in two weeks – a job I though I would be doing over the winter, but things are moving along more rapidly than expected.
I’m not exactly invited back to my parent’s house, since most of the work that I would be doing to earn my keep will already be completed by the time I finish my current obligation, and the fewer the people, the easier the place is to keep clean for prospective buyers. So Heather and I are looking to go back to Heartwood to work. True, the pay isn’t great, but as a place to maintain the lifestyle we so enjoy, getting paid at all seems worth it to me.
Provided that the offer is accepted and the house sells, we could be on the new land by year’s end. All of the questions are certainly not answered, and my job lately involves staying calm and focused, and helping others to do the same (with moderate success).
There is a substantial “wow” factor involved in the thought of being on our own land so soon, setting up some yurts for the winter, being settled enough to look for bodywork/nutrition jobs, and watching the land, listening to it, asking when and where to build.
Peace, peace, peace…
