The Craigslist House

I am feeling quite spoiled lately. My hubby and I have been shopping on Craigslist alot! We are going to try to build a house off of Craigslist items. Now there are some nay sayers out there that feel like we are trying to do the impossible, but that's what we do best! So far we have found roof tile, and stack stone for the front elevation. We also found a framer willing to do the work for a very decent price. It's kind of like a treasure hunt for us at  this point. Exciting!

Now my hubby has a lot of buddies in the construction business and thankfully they are all willing to help us with this project. Thank you guys!!!!!

The mobile home that is currently on the property will have a new home shortly. Mr.Dana put it on Craigslist for free and got over 150 calls. We were really impressed with one man who said that he had fallen on hard times and needed a place to live really badly. He didn't care about the condition and was excited about the potential. So I think he is going to be the lucky one to get a trailor that needs some TLC. Heaven works in mysterious ways.

This Saturday we are going to start the clean up project on the property. There is quite a bit of old junk and a lot of weeds and thorn bushes. Mr. Dana is excited to burn it all. I get to man the hose.

I can hardly believe that this all happening to us. We are so amazed at how everything seems to fall into place just at the exact moment we need it to. We have had more than one comment made about how someone must be looking out for us. We believe that to be the case too. Everything has happened too perfectly for it to be "just a coincidence". I feel like we have a whole cheering section beyond the veil and that we are being pushed, prodded, and guided to where we need to be, and what we need to do. I am so grateful.
