Trailer Day is Here!

Today is the day!

I mentioned in April that I ordered a 20 foot trailer from Tumbleweed Tiny Houses, and after what seems somehow both like eons and no time at all, Trailer Day is here!

I don't have accurate words to express my excitement at finally seeing the very core of my home in person. As well as a hefty amount of excitement and trepidation at the next bit, where I have to teach myself how to build a house. I'd say we're working with an 80/20 split, and I can work with that.

Earlier this week, I went out to double check that the lot I'll be building on is still in good shape, no downed branches and such.

It's still pretty damn beautiful. After several frustrating skirmishes with National Grid that got absolutely nowhere, walking the property turned out to be the perfect antidote to those stresses. It's heaven out there. Then this afternoon, I got a lovely sneak peek from my friend who kindly agreed to pick it up for me:

And around eight it was finally here!

It's the easiest step, and therefore one of the littlest, but having the trailer here in person is both exhilarating and soothing. Like a mountain view. It's a lot of work, but it's reassuring knowing you'll get to it one step at a time.
