Promise Acre: Our Journey

[Pastor Dave]

This sounds great and happening quick too. Praying things go well for y'all.

The funny thing with the rabbit breeding is that everyone considers multiplying like rabbits, and when managing and controlling according to our schedule and timelines, it seems to take forever to accomplish and to get get them on a predictable routine.

What I'd do about the plants is keep them until something is on the horizon to take them to....since ya would have to sell your place and not sure on a place to head to. I'd leave them in pots because it would be much easier to move than larger heavier planters....ya may have to repot into a larger pot for the roots, but it would be worth it to be able to take them with ya.....

What are these plants that are so important you "need" to keep them?

 

[promiseacres]

Mainly my iris my Grandma gave me a few years ago....I would just leave them but the weeds need addressed.... DH thinks we'll be here another year in any case....so he just wants me to dig them out and kill weeds then replant. Fortunately iris are very hardy.

So drove by another property... bad thing it's about 5 miles further than we want.... IDK... it has potential... so hard to decide.
Tempted to text owner of the "dream" property see if she did accept the other offer... still no bites on Mom's property. I really hate waiting... and a few other properties have come available but still not quite what we want. Wondering if we should consider bare land???? of course it's not cheap either. There's only 3 of those I think we'd consider...

We did get a litter of Mini rex on Tuesday! the other doe (due yesterday) has very pretty nest built but no fur pulled... no kits yet either. Palapated 4 does today... am hopeful Not sure we'll be camping next month so everyone is exposed.

Dishwasher broke....not sure to replace or fix... it's pretty old and abused... I really don't want to buy a new then move in the next year....guess we'll figure it out. In the meantime after meals means handwashing and my kids are big enough to dry and put away so it's not all bad as we're working together and just keeping ahead of the mess.

I've always thought of a dishwasher as wasted $$....I grew up without one and have managed my entire adult life without one....I wouldn't fret much over having everything all come together....it will never work out as imagined....and when the right place comes along it will all work out as it is intended. Ya seem to be a woman of Faith and ya have to rest in that Faith. Personally, I would look at land with existing structure....starting from scratch will cost more and increase the possibilities of problems....not to mention delays....

Or you can end up with a house that was rehabbed and many structural issues hidden in the process. That costs even more. Ask me how I know.

 

[CntryBoy777]

It is always "buyer beware", but if there is existing structure that means that water and electricity have already been accessed and there is sewage already in place. My #3 DD bought a lot and had a house built, cause they had to have New....5yrs later they had to have a $7000 fix to the foundation....and now 4yrs later they are facing another similar issue....so, it can work either way....but, I'd still look for land with a structure....it will certainly cost more to build from scratch....especially these days and times....imo....

 

[Bruce]

Sounds like DD's contractor did a cr@p job both originally and the repair. We need our foundation repaired as well, but it was laid over 150 years ago.

 

[promiseacres]

Yep it can definitely go either way..... I do know we would be very hard pressed to consider another modelur.....maybe as the "mom" house but not for us.
