Any Dream Box, Scrap Box, or Work box owners--It's built!

Four cubby units came last week and are assembled. My Dream Box 2, Deluxe Crown, and Dream Cart all arrived today. It's the DIY version. DH had intended to have the flooring done in the room . . . but he was "I'm so sick with a virus I can't move" the three days before he left to fly back to Oregon. He is now madly working on our acreage and thinking about what gets moved this trip. We've STILL NOT SOLD our Oregon home . . . .

His shops are filled with tools and equipment he wants to move the new company building we have here in MN.  He also meet with the company that purchased his intellectual property.  Those meetings went well.  He's given our trampoline to a family with 4 young kids, and some of the items I've had on FB market place are going to new homes. 

So it may be awhile until I can build and move into my dream box.  After almost 10 months of moving etc, what's another month?

Yes, it is driving me batty, I want my nice towels, good every day dishes, and kitchen gadgets.  I had spares already here in the cabin or in the motor home so they weren't priority items in the first two moves.  Those are the things I miss the most right now 

A few roadblocks like the finances of the move were delayed, hence the lack of a professional mover . . . lot more to that story, but we are now in a better place.  Yes, still boxes to unpack here.  All the books we moved, because I want floating bookshelves on either side of the fireplace.  and I am not unpacking, repacking, and unpacking 30 boxes!  AND Yes, I did purge!

Craft stuff all in the garage, waiting on the flooring.  Stuff still in Oregon . . . because you can only fit so much into a 16 foot Penske truck, two times.  We honestly thought we would make a third trip for household stuff and some garage stuff in mid August, but that didn't happen because of the delay in the sale of DH's company.  

Family will ask . . . "where is such and so" and my answer is Oregon, they say "no it isn't", so I reply "then find it yourself because I did the entire kitchen, mine and DH's clothing, bathroom etc."

Don't even know when DH will start his trip back, so patient I must be.  Don't worry I've had a lot to keep me busy, getting DS17 to and from soccer try-outs, home from practice and building his safety net in MN with disabled child/adult applications, as well as with SS.  natscraps mikklynn

Thanks for understanding the discomfort Linda

On the positive side, we did enjoy the lake for most of the summer with plenty of outdoor water activities.  So there is that, not everything is negative.   I also kind of knew that I wouldn't get some things unpacked until after school started anyway.  We had lots of house guests who didn't mind our box situation.  Eleven guests that stayed a total of 38 days in the first 10 weeks in our home.  What's a lake home if people can't come and visit and play with you!  Now to be honest my ILs coming 8 days after our arrival and staying for 11 was very hard . . . I didn't know where things were in the grocery stores, and it took forever to shop and plan for all those meals.  Other guests were easier as they offered to take us out for meals.  That is so helpful, and my Mother is the queen of eating out.  She cared for my father the last 7 years of his life with Alzheimer and has traveled so much this year.  As a widow she often will eat out and save the rest for 2 or 3 meals.  She actually prefers to eat out because then she gets exactly what she wants to eat! So we did eat out several times and I shared some of my new favorite places with her.  It's really fun to take your boat across the lake to a restaurant you can see from your home, park at their dock and have walleye for dinner.  The boat ride is about 10 minutes.  To drive there it's about 35 minutes.  Maybe this winter we will snowmobile across the lake, wait--those aren't in the plans for this winter.  The restaurant is one of the sponsors the lighted snowmobile trails . . . so they lead right to their lakeside door.
