Cute cubic cabin


Sunset at Mt Megantic in Hampden
Funny how this life of deprivation is pleasing me in many ways.
When I am in my cute cubic cabin, I have the impression I am in a spacecraft en route for I don't know where, which is just about where we don't know we are going in this life.
I deploy one arm and I am in my bedroom, I deploy the other I am in the kitchen. I lean and grab a book on the shelf. Even though the space is small I could sit five people! But I will soon add a new "wing", the South Wing 'cause I'd like not to spend the whole winter in such a small space. The kitchen/dining room est structurally built yet not inhabitable for lack of isolation and other things. I am to build a small living room (6'x8') but cozy.

Unbuilding

Little house located @ Hampden that I will unbuild next spring. It is about 2 miles from my own shack
I finally got the OK to unbuild a house after I tried this summer to do so for a huge barn and other places. I thus will have all the wood I need to build up my own place, according to the zoning.

If the zoning stays "green", it means I have to limit myself to 215 sq. ft. that I would make square (14'8" x 14'8").
If the zoning becomes "white" as requested, the limits will be according to budget and town rules.

I am quite enthusiastic being here and making priorities. I have very serious financial constraints but for the time being I do not live too badly that situation.
Then again, I have to establish priorities for the cats and me.
It is hard to understand why things are still so difficult, for I am working six days a week! The insolation work I just finished up at Maude's place was quite a challenge.

Installation of "Double-Bubble on the wood structure I built.

Fiber optic goes by on the road just down here. The other day a man stopped by with his car and I went to ask him if everything was OK only to find out he was an engineer with plans spead out over his laps. He was a guy from the cable company. He explained to me there were two fiber optic cable on the posts. One from Bell and one smaller belonging to Axion cable. I asked him if he thought it would be possible to get the internet here. He told me that they could arrange for a 5% broadband of the main cable to be connecting me. It is true that with only 5% of a fiber optic I would have a fast link home.
At the moment I have a hard time grabbing the air waves. After sunset I sometimes turn to the AM band to receive the French CBC from Toronto...
