Looking to No. 5

In numerology, the four-year cycle is said to be about “vision, management, priority, effort, determination and breakthrough.” Chris might say that I’ve had a little trouble with that priority thing in my first four years of Loveless ownership. My version: Priorities shift with the seasons.

In the warm months, having a deck railing is a priority, seeing how often we shriek at Chipper to warn him away from the edge of the deck and near-certain death. By winter? Hmm, it’d be nice to have an inside stairwell to get from the toasty sleeping quarters downstairs to the weeHouse kitchen and coffee maker above.

Of course, we have neither. Still, we’ve got a lot of great things going on – the bathroom project, the screened porch project, the shed project, the Saturn deck project.... yes, that priority thing.

Year No. 5, according to the numerology sources consulted for the sole purpose of this blog, provides "opportunities to turn my life around by setting off in a new direction." (Emphasis mine.)

Their advice? A complete change of attitude. 

Uh, I’ll get right on that.

Meantime, here’s a trip down memory lane.

October 2010

 

Still working on covering up that Tyvek house wrap...

The former living room.

Sofas and friends.

The 2010 kitchen was worse in person.

Cluttered, but in a good way.

The old place, view from road.

Walkway to new space makes us all happy.
