Today, if all goes well, and I see no reason it shouldn't, we become the owners of a boat. A pretty big boat, but not as big as my house. And that is significant, because the plan is that we move onto this boat and live on it for a while.
WHAT?! When did this all happen?! Well, I'm going to write more about this, but one of our first considerations was where do we put the pets?
Part of what decided us to buy the boat was the availability of a cheap berth in a convenient location. We have two dogs. Sam is very old and sits on her mat all day, but Emma is younger, dopey and super enthusiastic. We won't be moored out in the water, so we will be able to step off the side and walk the dogs easily, and Emma will probably go to work with my husband every day. His work will be a very short bike ride down the road.
So it may take some adjustment, but I think we will manage with the dogs. We do have options of placing them with friends, but that wouldn't be our first choice.
I think the the cat will transition easily, it will just mean a litterbox. And hopefully he'll keep the seagulls off the roof!
The chickens, ducks, sheep and cows will either have to find new homes (some of them were planned for the freezer shortly anyway) or we will 'gift' them to our tenants. That's another thing we have to do, find tenants for our lifestyle block. Oh man, the list of to-dos is huge!
I will try and post pictures of my new abode soon.
Well are you going to have a great life style change!! Look forward to seeing your boat , you are very brave - I don't think I could tackle that but perhaps when I was younger there may have been a chance.
ReplyDeleteWow! Talk about a change up in lifestyle. And didn't you just get your studio space completed this past year? Good luck to you making the transition. I hope things go smoothly.....or as smoothly as possible.
