So, it looks like the original schedule of having the Tiny House dryed in by June is a pipe dream. We had hoped to get all of our ducks in a row by the end of January, and maybe start working in February. But there's no way that's going to happen: there's just too much snow here. There's snow everywhere. Like, seriously, everywhere, and it's super deep. We can barely drive around the city of Providence because the roads are so narrow and poorly treated. So we'll have to wait for it to clear up before we can access my family's barn (our work space) at all (right now, it's filled with snow drifts).
But, on the bright side of things: we also have an extension of our June deadline. Sam and I were officially offered positions with the Peace Corps last week, but not for the program we were nominated to. Instead of the Cambodia program, Sam and I will be serving as TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language) volunteers in Armenia. The best part about this change is that the Armenia volunteers don't leave until the end of August, so we've got some extra time to finish up the Tiny House.
I think that the process of delaying and extending construction projects is universal. I'm glad that it looks like it will all work out for us.
