It may not feel like it to you, but youāve made a TON of progress, & it looks great so far! Home improvements are no joke! So glad youāre feeling better, & are keeping your sense of humor. Thatāll be your saving grace! Love & hugs!š

Your home is going to be lovely when it's done. I can tell from the photos. The bidet was one of the best decisions I made and I ended up writing a whole post on hand held ones. I didn't realize the water pressure in America is so high and how that affects the tubes with handhelds.
Oh my! I found your substack from a comment you made on Tara Penryās most excellent publication. I always deeply loved the idea of finding (or keeping) a home in the world, so your Finding Home made me curious. Then I heard my favorite k.d. Lang song ever on your vid and discovered you live in Blaine county, where in 1980, my wife and I lived as newlyweds in Hailey.
Our first home was in a tiny old former brothel cabin in Hailey, but young and in love can be happy in the humblest circumstances . A year or so later we moved into a mobile home where, while in bed, we would watch the ceiling flex as our landlord shoveled snow to prevent the roof from collapsing onto us, which we thought was on the verge of collapsing anyway. āNice of you to drop in on us this evening, Rex,ā we joked from the comfort of a waterbed that was included in our $200 monthly rental.
Then in 1983, we moved from Rex and his snow shovel to mostly snowless Africa for a year that became almost ten years, but thatās another story altogether.
Thanks for reminding me of those happy times in that beautiful place.
Glad u arw laughing. Your place looks beautiful! Iām just recovering from covid (round 2 for me) too. Hugs. Love. Peace!

Great photos, Jan! And congrats on all you have accomplished with your new homeālooks beautiful!
And may I compliment the hell out of this sentence: "Innocence affords a hope not always present with experience. "
