We’ve had a number of individuals point out to us that they too have a dream of in the future shopping for a campground, so we’re excited to proceed sharing a few of the good & dangerous of constructing a park from the bottom up.
Honestly, the campground course of has been fairly enjoyable.
We have a dozen large schematics the place we get to paint in concepts and lay out the park. These extremely massive website plans additionally serve a twin function for big coloring pages for Ellie.
Since buying the property we’ve already hosted so many mates and made new ones by way of our Hipcamp itemizing.
Yesterday I spent the afternoon doing price comparisons and studying opinions on industrial rest room paper.
Okay, possibly that final one was much less enjoyable. But rest room paper opinions are really comical, plus now I do know that recycled paper towels and bathroom paper price lower than common. Fascinating and ineffective info, I do know!
BUT.
We have one minor snag.
Which I’m selecting to see as a ridiculously hilarious downside as a result of after the previous few weeks, we’ve formally gotten to that degree.
We can’t discover the mailbox.
And belief me, I’ve regarded all over the place.
There’s no mailbox on the property.
I’ve pushed previous neighboring mailboxes and maybe fairly creepily learn all of the numbers to double-check that they aren’t ours.
The earlier proprietor has no thought the place it’s.
The earlier earlier proprietor has no thought.
Heath visited with a number of neighbors who additionally don’t know.
The earlier earlier earlier proprietor was the Montrose School District. I’ve left them a message, however the college district final held courses there in 1992…so I’m not holding my breath that they’ve been holding mail for the previous 30 years.
The man on the submit workplace mentioned if I can show I’m the proprietor by bringing within the deed, then he can discover me a set of keys to the mailbox.
“The mailbox, where?” I requested.
“I don’t know,” he shrugged.
And I’ve formally spent weeks making an attempt to unravel this thriller. Tomorrow my plan is to point out up on the submit grasp’s workplace as a result of she has not answered her cellphone but and has no voicemail… ????
We know mail is being delivered as a result of the individuals who have despatched us mail—necessary individuals like our insurance coverage firm and our financial institution and town and folks whose mail you 100% don’t wish to lose—haven’t had mail returned to them.
So it’s SOMEWHERE.
Somewhere in Montrose county lays an more and more thick stack of mail with my title on it.
The thriller continues.
Of all issues, discovering the mailbox has simply been probably the most tough problem we’ve encountered previously two months since we’ve bought this property.
(Honorable point out goes to changing the complete rest room after the inspector tell us there’s a particular facet of the bathroom the place the flusher should be in an ADA accessible lavatory.)
Hopefully by subsequent week I’ll lastly put this loopy lengthy search to mattress.
Otherwise, you could find me sitting by the highway in a garden chair ready for a mailman to drive by so I can flag him down and query him. No one can say no to an enormous pregnant lady.
That’s what constructing a campground seems like this week. We hope to have extra thrilling updates within the close to time period, however for now we might simply love to just accept some mail ????
