I have time to redesign due to the heavy snow and the -45 degree weather. I am actually thankful for the weather.
BTW for those of you new to my website there is always music at the bottom of the post. You may not like my choices. If do do hit play and read on.
With two cats sitting on me and the woodstove cranked I sit in my recliner. A pine board across the arms to hold keyboard mouse and pad. 
Hot tea and Netflix streaming episodes of supernatural, Thousands of precise mouse movements and ten hours later I produced the final design for the flooring joists both metal and wood. I find room for water tanks fresh and foul, and a location for a thousand pounds of batteries so I can make phantom gestures at my local power company. Solar no grid ties. I plan to collect rainwater from the roof to keep me in drinking water. Propane for cooking and for the fridge on dark days. A self sufficient portable house.
All I have to do is fit all that into a 10 by 22 space and still have room to cook, work, entertain myself and sleep. With enough room for a possible mate.
That part is difficult. finding a woman that would even entertain living in a small trailer in the middle of nowhere, has proved impossible so far. I have dropped off all the on-line dating sites after perusing thousands of profiles.
I find that most women in my age range are more interested in all the warm places they have been, or are planning on getting to. To each their own. I am content to stay where I am. I don’t need a sunny beach to be happy. I have become a creative homebody. Everything I need is here except a partner.
And then there is the cats. My kids left me with all their pets. The cats have cost me many a date, due to allergies, dislikes and a unique RN who suffers from an extreme fear of cats. The cats are a lot of trouble. As I type this a few minutes ago one of them had to come sit with me long enough for her water to break on my Levis.
I regret not getting that one and one other in to get fixed.
I found an animal lover once. I gave her directions to this blog. I never heard from her again. As you can see I may end up the crazy cat man that lives in a small hermit shack on wheels in the woods. I don’t think I am crazy, eccentric probably.
I do love my animals including my pet moose who knows that she and her twins are safe on my acreage. She often stops by to chat when I chop wood in the winter. She doesn’t talk much but is a great listener. Last time Luna stopped by, I chopped wood for an hour and she just watched less than fifty feet away.
I am surprised due to the fact every redneck out here is trying eat her. How many of you can claim a seven foot high hairy therapist. Wow I suddenly feel like I am in a Jimmy Stewart movie with a moose instead of a rabbit.
As for the on line dating, I never liked my life being served À la carte anyways. What ever happened to old fashioned romance? I believe it went out with social media. It is too easy find the smallest faults and turn away from someone before getting to know them. I can clearly see the future of humanity, an endless stream of soulless, temporary on-line transactions. Why bother with destiny and love when you can move from human to human and then add them to your shopping cart. When you are bored go on-line and get your instant divorce order a new one.
I guess I am more like the swans that fly over my house twice a year to let me know that spring and winter are imminent. I had planned to marry once and stay that way. I only had one deal breaker; infidelity. That happened. I divorced, healed up and moved on. I can already hear the familiar chorus you just whispered in your minds. “It wasn’t meant to be” I have heard that too many times to count.
I plan on just concentrating on my build and finding the money and time to do the work. Working at my tiny house and maybe getting to some over due woodwork projects.
I am using a free version of google sketchup to do the design work. I think I am becoming proficient.
Here are a few pictures from the latest design. The blue is metal that I need to find and then get welded.
I finished my rant for today. I have to go check and see if there any kittens.
For all the singles out there, I pray and hope you find love.
Take care Rod
I have included some of the previous versions below.
Update Eeeva’s kitten was stillborn.
“I’ll Follow You”
[Verse 1:]
If I could find assurance to leave you behind
I know my better half would fade
And all my doubt is a staircase for you
Opened out of this maze
The first step is the one you believe in
The second one might be profound.
[Chorus:]
I’ll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don’t worry I’ll keep you warm.
I’ll follow you down while we’re passing through space
I don’t care if we fall from grace
I’ll follow you down
[Verse 2:]
You can have the money and the world
The angels and the pearls
Even trademark the color blue
Just like the tower we never built
In the shadow of all the guilt
When the other hand was pointed at you
Yeah the first step is the one you believe in
And the second one might be profound.
[Chorus:]
I’ll follow you down, through the eye of the storm
Don’t worry I’ll keep you warm.
I’ll follow you down, while we’re passing through space
I don’t care if we fall from grace
I’ll follow you down…
…to where forever lies
Without a doubt I’m on your side
There’s nowhere else that I would rather be
I’m not about to compromise,
Give you up to say goodbye
I’ll guide you through the deep
I’ll keep you close to me!
[Chorus:]
I’ll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don’t worry I’ll keep you warm.
I’ll follow you down while we’re passing through space
I don’t care if we fall from grace
I’ll follow you…
If I could find assurance to leave you behind
I know my better half would fade
I’ll follow you down.
