TY everyone it is a wonderful thing and it still hasn't set in. About the time i got the house me and my girl broke up and I was running on a broken disapointed heart so it just seemed like a JOB and I treated this place like any other custom JOB that I have done in the past , when I set my hands to something like this it gets done quick then once it was just about all finished and people started asking me how i felt all I could say was yeah i'm happy but I wasn't me and jenn were going to move my things in together and decorate so the nice thing is she spent last weekend helping me pick a few things out and look for other stuff I need and at least make some plans once I get my tax credit back which is $8,000 ( thank you mr obama ) and we are working on our relationship but i have a long ways to go yet.
I can't wait for my first fire place fire on a cold rainy night getting a cord of wood soon so it's ready to warm the house that will be really nice and a dream I have had for a long long time.
SO for us ANYTHING is possible as long as we stay clean and I am enjoying recovery a great deal these days inspite of set back with my attitude and behaviors, thats the unmanageable living problems I have but this program, God and all of you out there supporting me will se me through it all, and you can too just hang on and follow the suggestions and be patient and work hard LOL yeah theres a lot to do but my GOD its so worth it to work hard at this thing.
Mike the cat house is wonderful the cats love hanging out out there I need more climbing stuff and will be making them a few things soon.
thanks again everyone sorry it took so long I had trouble getting hardware and program for uploading pics on my PC I have a USB issue going on along with a few other major problems that will take a total reinstall to fix and I am not ready for that yet so just getting by here for now.
Love to all the blessings are on the way stick around long enough and they come.
DANG this is all SO cool!!!! Good for you. I know the rush of getting it, having it, fixing in it etc. Also know the pain of losing it due to one's own folly. I am getting actual vicarious pleasure out of your trip LOL! Hope the relational issues can truly be worked out...best wishes.
