Unfinished Man Cave. Would you do it?
« on: March 16, 2010, 11:55:00 PM »
June 1 of last year I moved into my retirement home. Had I known then what I know now, I may have waited for one more winter to pass.
But I survived and thoroughly enjoy each and every day.

How fortunate we are in this time and place we live, to be able to choose our own lifestyle and destiny.
Wanted to share a bit of this with all of my friends.
God Bless.
Fred

The first year with no indoor plumbing and 2 space heaters to keep me warm in the coldest winter in Nebraska for the past 25+ years.
You'll never guess what purpose this served.

OK, Half of you got it right.

I still haul water from town because the well isn't drilled yet, but the inside is becoming real comfortable.

Took a walk today down by the creek looking for sheds and did a bit of stumping. Killed a couple stumps, found no sheds.

With all the winter snow melt and over 2" of rain this past weekend, the beaver dam's got demolished, but those guys are busy rebuilding.

And now Spring is here. I love it. And by next year, I hope to have indoor plumbing.

It is always a great pleasure for me, when I see people who keep up the spirit, even though they are in an unfortunate situation. I really, really mean that.

Looks a lot like the cabin we lived in last year! We hauled water, too.

 Its not a bad way to live. Simplicity has its perks.

I would love to be on the adventure that you are on there. Your floors really look fantastic.

Way to go. I agree: what a great place we live in that we are free to make choices about where and how we live.
