Another question on a DIFFERENT subject this time, promise

17. circa 1820? Wow, I'm jealous!

You'll be my inspiration for perseverance.

This little bump in the road town is the county seat but still so tiny it's not even on a lot of maps. I'll keep occasionally calling the radio station general store show, asking for at least equipment. Maybe by the time I can afford a general contractor to do some more work, the 2 in town will be over their political snit enough to take my business. They get really mad about liberals around here and they hate my yard signs during campaign seasons. One tree service turned down a $2K job from me on that basis and made it clear so I couldn't miss the point. The nearest town of any real size is over 60 miles away, and I'm cautious of total strangers. Unfortunately, I'm also getting old enough to find the prospect of complete diy daunting. Kinda between a rock and a hard place. One thing for sure, no more carpeting!

Regardless, it will get done one way or another. All this information and support has been wonderful; it won't be wasted.
