Or maybe not. So this TS Isaac apparently cant make up his mind. One day the plots show way east, next day they show way west. While its still 4-5 days away and there is still plenty of tracts for this thing to take, we have consistently stayed in the plots. We are far enough inland though that…
“Let’s build a house” she said.
"It's just a box, it will be easy" she said. Bwahahahaa!! Ahem. Famous last words huh?? Wow, how this "easy box house" build has evolved! A 12x16 box with basic roof... no maybe a 16x20 is better... with a half loft... oh that means a ladder... and half walls upstairs for more headroom... ok, what…
