The first lesson I’ve learned from this adventure is that the kids don’t care that we live in a trailer. It turns out they really like their family and it doesn’t matter where we live. Darwin tried to talk me out of taking him to school today because he needed to stay home in his trailer. Trixie’s hobby of finding things she shouldn’t be playing with also does not require a specific venue- she is just happy all. the. time.
Yesterday morning we went through the house and marked up all the walls to show which stay, which get removed, and what happens to all the doors and fixtures that are left. Since then, nothing has happened as far as demolition or excavation. There has been a lot of coordination happening around moving and disconnecting utilities.
I’m a little terrified for when we can start to SEE the progress. I feel like some day this week I am going to come home and the house will literally be half gone. Hopefully it’s the right half that is gone.
