It's simpler, and though it may seem it's going quickly, I can assure you, the days spent within these walls, especially the coldest ones, the ones before we had electricity and the sun went down at five, the ones before plumbing, the ones still, where we closed the shut off valves to the shower and the bathroom sink - they aren't built yet, and where I'm still lugging jugs of dirty and soapy water outside for the dishes - no drainage yet - these days have been trying and tough. We moved a thousand miles in two days, and would come in to chaos to sleep, climbing over moving boxes and righting temporary felled walls for privacy around the toilet. It isn't magical, and special, it's a quick and dirty build. We'll likely remember it as the thing that nearly broke us, the two overworked and tired mamas who just want to keep striving for the life they want, who, during this build, passed the four year mark. Four years in and we've gotten one but not the other, travel but not monetary freedom, money but not travel. We're still not there yet. We set out to have a year - maybe longer - of living on the road. We've had some months here, some months there, but otherwise, we are building. It sounds so simple, and so many others have done it, gone ahead of us on that road. But here we are, four years in. Still building, striving, working, wondering. Not giving up. We won't stop until we get there. So this is simpler, this build. It isn't for show, or to top previous work or to play the game. It's for us. It's taking everything we've learned, everything we've worked for, and it's us going all in. Always. Again.
Ellen talks about the phases of renovation like this: it's so much preparation. You see what seems like nothing for so long, and it's painful. You can't wait to see the result, the payoff, but you have to work for it. You run those electrical lines, and wait - insulation first. Rivet in the skins, and paint, and wire in lights and outlets. Wrap the tape, wire the switches. You wait and work and work and wait. And then, after all that work, and all that waiting, in an easy motion, one day, you touch the tip of your finger to the switch, and there it is. Light.
