It's been a while! Lots of things have changed in the 7 years since the last post. We, unfortunately, no longer have the cabin in the mountains. Maybe it'll work out again someday...
I'm reviving the blog for a new project.
We purchased a property in Benjamin over the summer. It'll take lots of work but will potentially be beneficial in a lot of different ways: a more practical home for my mother, an investment, and an improvement in the community.
We weren't looking for it. I ran across a FaceBook post about it on the way to visit my mom on a Saturday morning. The price made it interesting. We decided to drive by and take a look before arriving at her house. When we figured out which house it was, we made quick arrangements to see the inside. It had been vacant for several years and needed work, but it had "good bones" and we knew it wouldn't last long. We had a verbal agreement to purchase within a couple of hours and finally closed on 7/15/24.
We started mowing and cleaning up the yard before we closed. There had been record rainfall in April and May. The moisture, along with multiple years of neglect, practically guaranteed that it would be an unmanageable jungle if we waited.
