Back on the dance floor

Week 13: I am back on the dance floor. I am in it to Win it!!
The inherent problem with starting a blog is that it is like being on reality TV. It is living out loud in pubic view. The progress and victories are fun to share in public, but frustrations and failures are part of lifes’ bargain so they must be shared too.
Weeks 9 and 10 brought me to near nervous breakdown in spirit and physical bandwidth. I gave up out loud in public. I put our little “tar baby” ranch up for sale. I tried for several weeks ​to get out of the project by ​finding a buyer who would buy us out and finish it. I have good connections in the business and quickly I was told that the numbers didn’t work for a builder to make a profit. So as its name aptly signifies the tar baby has taken​ me limb by limb.
I took the outcome as a sign from the Universe that I(we) are meant to do this project. With renewed energy I started again. I hired an attorney to help us with zoning. The roof went on last week. The windows were delivered yesterday. I am feverishly working on landscaping while we still have rain and some cool nights. I need to get something in the soil to help it recover from the onslaught of machines and digging this spring.
