There was a crazy flurry of work there for a couple of weeks during which I was too busy to really make posts - I'll be rectifying that soon, and posting about all of the work that we did. Following the crazy flurry of work, there was another crazy flurry of us moving.
My husband got this amazing job offer (pretty much out of nowhere) all the way across the country and it was one of those offers we couldn't refuse, so we dutifully boarded up the PolyCottage and then boarded the plane and moved into an apartment. This leaves me with no electrical work, no plumbing, no walls to fix or build and no light fixtures to change. This apartment complex won't even let us change the light bulbs! The apartment is beige and I do not like it. We did have a little accident with one of the walls that left an enormous hole punched into it, so I get to try and seamlessly patch that so no one finds out about it! Yay!
We'll be going back to work on the house, and we do plan to move back and finish it at some point. Leaving it like that was very unsatisfying, but I still have lots of content for this blog! So while I can't work on the house, I can write about working on the house.
Oh shoot! It's one of those times where you don't know whether to laugh (about a great job offer!) or to cry (leaving your cottage behind). Kudos to you for mothballing it until later - historic homes need a forever owner :o) and yours seems to be happy and lucky to have one!
ReplyDeleteBelieve me there have been plenty of tears shed over leaving our house behind. I love that house more than a person should love something.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for the support; it means a lot!
Wow! Well, you have to grab opportunities when they arise. It's great that you'll be able to get the chance to go back at work on it in the future!
