Trailer Life So Far.......

Trailer Life is going pretty good so far.  However, we got off to a really rough start.  Let me please just tell you about the first night in the trailer.  We had many set backs getting into the trailer.  So we were almost 2 weeks later living in the trailer than originally expected.  We slept on an air mattress in the living room at Pine Road for those two weeks.  So you can imagine that I was OH SO READY to be in my own bed, no matter where it was!  So that night finally gets here and here is a recap of how it went.
8:30pm: Wall Heater goes out (Wall Heater bc Central Unit does not work like previously anticipated)
9:30 pm: My mom decides that we are endanger with the space heaters that we currently have.  She shows up unannounced with a different one.  This makes my husband upset.
2AM: Finally I get to sleep and wake up with the dining room light on.  This light has not worked since we got the trailer.  So you can imagine my anxiety over this happening.
5AM: Bo wakes up early to plug an extra space heater in the bathroom so we don't freeze to death getting ready.  Well when he plugs it in it throws the breaker on 1/2 the trailer.  So we no longer have electricity in the bedroom.  So he has to fix that at 5 am.
6:30 AM: Bo showers and the Master shower does not drain and he doesn't make it through his shower with hot water.
7:30 AM: I get up and Bowlin slices his finger on broken glass on a window that we have not yet fixed.
8AM: Going to my in laws to take a shower (see no hot water) and I lock me and Bowlin out of the trailer to which no one has  key.  At this point all I could do is laugh.

Luckily, thinks have gotten way better.  However, we do still have some significant water leak issues.  My husband and father in law are working on those as we speak.  But, I feel settled and it feels like home.  Bowlin loves his new bathtub!  He actually thinks it's a swimming pool I think.  *See below for picts  The dogs are adjusting well too.  It is just really small.  I am ready for warm weather so we can all spend lots of time outside.  I think that will make things a lot better.

In other news, my blocks on my house are laid (*see below) and they say they will be there to start framing on Tuesday. WOOOHOO!  I am pumped about that!  Maybe by fall I will have more room and no water leaks!
