I feel like Steve Martin in, "The Jerk"

Mr. Root Cause, we have much in common...

The excitement of getting an address assignment...and then making it official by putting it on one of the field stones we dug up.

Getting the well dug, septic, electricity, and even cable to make my wife happy!

Now if the architect would just get the house plans finished, we could start building and get out of this RV!

What a great sign and a beautiful piece of land.

And yes, we have more in common still.
I have a 30x40 building with our RV inside. We have septic and temporary power but that's it. I had to winterize it in late November and without water, I stopped going up there.
And I feel for you on the design issues. I purchased a finished design at the end of September with the assurance they could do the modifications I wanted

After a month, they sent a prelim that did not resemble the house. We argued until I went and bought my own software and designed it. 6 weeks later, I sent the corrections and of course, they wanted more money. It continues to rage on but I think we are close now. What a mess. We are fortunate it happened in the winter months or I would be hostile.

How is the RV this time of year? I'm afraid the pipes would have froze around here as we were about -5 about a week ago.

Mr. Iman, we have a pretty accurate weather station and -18F has been the coldest so far and NO frozen pipes yet!

Purposely, we bought one of the better four season 5th wheels and adding skirting for the winter has made it work out. But will be glad to move into the house!

Keep us posted on progress Mr. Root Cause.

-18°, YIKES!
I always feel better knowing the days are getting longer and spring is not too far away.
Good luck on your build and keep warm.

Ahhh, yes - I remember the thrill of getting a piece of raw land up and running! Drag in the trailer, dig the well trench, figure out how to take showers, and then starting on the house. We built a pole house and it was the most awesome experience.....
