We had been through this too, outside of Flaggstaff, Az with no water, no electricity on forty acres with two large hounds( Tank and Tanner), it was tiny little hand built cabin by John. He would make the looooooog commute twice daily to Phoenix for work.
The old farmhouse in Maine, was virtually uninhabitable by our standards, we worked days on ends to finally being able to move in it.
With all of your work in your field, this was your answer to one of the “Small Miracles, The Mudroom. As an long time follower, You will make this warm, simply Beautiful, and Exceptional as in all of your work.
Thank you, for sharing this journey with us all
Hold you and family always in my thoughts and prayers.
Ohhh man!!!this is a story waiting to be told as only you can do. The beauty in the broken remains will somehow be redeemed. So thankful we can follow along and cheer you on, pray you through and use the lessons forged in our own stories!
Oh my, another setback, but perhaps this will be the answer you need for now. I am remembering my time in the small unheated house that was built for the ranch manager. When I moved there, I was 17 and pregnant with my first child. There was a fireplace in the small living room that was the only heat for the house. A bedroom opened off of one side and a kitchen on the other. The snow was just starting, but was 3 feet deep when we were finally able to move to a small apartment in town. Heaven! There was beauty there in the woods on one side of the house and the cattle on the other side. I was terrified when the cattle came in to feed though. The first time I experienced it I was alone. The thundering of the hooves shook me to my core. It is a sound that has never left me. Carmella, I pray for you daily. I am so glad that you have the skill to design something that will be a small home for you during your time there. I know you will find small miracles daily that will sustain you.
This is going to be an interesting journey, to a unique destination. Looking forward to reading of your progress, your growth along with your new space developments.

In the perfect hands 🤍
Holy mackerel, Carmella! But you’re the one to do it.
This is going to be an interesting journey, to a unique destination. Looking forward to reading of your progress, your growth along with your new space developments.
I just love your writings. I love how you take the bad and find a way to see the good. Most would get up set, cry and quit.
If it is physically big enough, I have no doubt that you will turn it into a home. Good luck!
Carmella,
Thank you for taking us all along with you on the unfolding of this amazing adventure.
My heart is with you.
Sending you prayers of strength and much love,
Birnie
