We did it!!!  Milestone number two down.  There are four major milestones in this move.  Basically the first four things that need to be done before we can actually move into the cottage.  And as it would be they are all actually the ones that require the largest amount of cash out of our pockets at any one time.  We bought the 14x40 wooden structure from Esh's Buildings.  Picked the colors and placed the doors and windows.  This building will essentially be four walls, roof, floor, windows and doors.  The entire rest is up to us one step at a time.  This space will in the end be the living room and kitchen.  All an open floor plan.  The first thing to do onced the building arrives will be to have the electric company bring in the electric, our electrician wire up the entire building and bring the elec  from the pole to the house.  Also we will have to immediately put on an addition for the bathroom and utility room off the back of the building.  Onced all of this is finished we will move into the big open room, the side of the kitchen.  Yes we will be living in an unfinished space while finishing the rest.  It will be difficult at times and frustrating im sure.  But we are ready for the next phase.  Living here already feels like we are away from home.  But were together and thats all that really matters.  Speaking of being together.  Last night Larry and I went out to celebrate the event!  First stop...a civil war era barn turned into a micro brewery.  Beer was fabalous...music was so good.  She was a young band and full of energy.  They had pit bbq and it was amazing with the beer.  Headed then downtown Gettysburg to walk in the early evening and enjoy being outside with lots of people.   Stopped at the Dobbin House for their famous Rum Bellies drink and hot gingerbread with a lemon sauce.  The atmosphere in the tavern in the basement is absolute amazing!  Always a favorite.  On our way back to the truck Larry treated me to one  last thing...A CARRIAGE RIDE AT NIGHT!!!  One I will never forget.  Well tomorrows a busy day at the land.  Hoping to get the barn stained and windows screened in.
Be well,
