I went on the peace of land to get clearing some trees to make room for my home. It has been on my mind a lot that there are chances that the semi truck (tractor trailer) may not be able to bring in the shell where I want it, it's a tight fit. I walked around and thought of a plan B. But that would mean I would have to know exactly where to put it so I don't end up cutting trees for nothing.
Yesterday, I had brought my dad out on the property, being a big machinery operator, once being a truck driver, he would know exactly what is do-able.
Dead end up ahead
The amount of trees to cut down, the land work to flatten the land because of birms will make it such hard work, will take too much time and the cost will be extreme. And the words that came out of his mouth is what I was dreading: "It will be best to build in this case. You will save time in cutting trees and money."
I went from movement, advancing bit by bit, to a full stop and then now I feel like I went 2 steps behind... -1000. Like I have said before, I can do interior work but I have never built anything from scratch. My dad isn't in the greatest of health and our summer is brutal, he wants to help and I don't want him to. I don't want him getting sick. His plan is to start me off, show me how to do things one step at a time. Once i am done one part, then he will come back help me start off on the next part and then... you get the point. Getting the roof on worries me, in town, my dad and I would build the roof pieces on the ground and then he would bring home the boom truck. I would operate it and he would be on the roof to put it in place. We can't get a boom truck in there.
It's time that I do some research while I can't be in action at this point. I need to plan the interior once I get a chance to sit for a long amount of time to draw it out, probably a thousand times.
Talking about time, I have to head to town. So that's the update on what's happening with my journey trying to offgrid. Hopefully next time I can say we cut down trees and got a floor built.
