Everett, WA – Arrived Wednesday February, 20, 2013 about 2:45pm
We made it!
We are staying at some close friends who have a RV lot in their backyard with a alley entrance. So the joke is “Her best friend lives in a box in the alley behind her house”. We will be here for at least 2 week’s but looking for 3-4 weeks. Just need to sort things out and this is the perfect time and place to do so.
Unfortunately, this is a one time thing as they will be redoing their entire property with such additions as a new patio and chicken coop etc, where the RV lot currently is.
The only regret I will have is “wishing it was Spring/Summer/Fall and not Winter.
However I can not think of one other place I would rather be then right here, right now. My Big Red Wife, my Evil Cat’s, and two of the best friends I have ever had are all within 50′ of me at all times pretty much.
We had a interesting drive. A for sure learning experience for the both of us. Too many “self inflected wounds” that could have been avoided, but I am confident we will not repeat in the future.
Over the last few day’s we have learned more then we knew prior regarding Admiral Ackbar. Things we would never learn outside of living here. Sadly some are heartbreakers. Such as we will not be able to put the cat door to the cargo space for the kitty litter. There is a large support beam in the way. That one hurt. A lot. That was our “perfect” solution.
Life goes on.
We also decided that we need to just get our living/work space installed and worry about “how it look’s” next year when we have more experience and have spoken to more who have experience we have yet to learn.
I have the tile installed and the Ikea items assembled. We need to get the desktops prepared and then start moving things around and verify it will work and then secure everything down.
Hope to have our living/work space completed by Friday.
Monday I am taking off to spend some time with a close friend as Pauline will have time to chill on her own doing whatever it is that she does when I am not around.
