We haven't rebuilt. Guy up the road gave us 2 mobile homes and dragged them up for us. But I SURE LOVED the camping out business!!! There's NOTHING like being woken up in the middle of the night by deer who wander through and do their 'huffing' noises. LOL. It's awesome.
Anyway, Mark tore down the back 1/2 of the burnt house and that's where the trailers are sitting. The front 1/2 is used as storage.(seasonal clothes, saddles,etc)
In the next few days we'll be getting the water turned on.(we've been hauling it in) Ticks me off, STILL, that we'll have to pay a $400 water bill from when the water ran while the house was burning. You'd THINK they would cut ya some slack when they knew you lost 18 years of your life, but.....
I think if you ask them they’ll write off 1/2 of a big water bill like that. Somebody else I knew had a leak in their water line and had a huge bill and they did that for them. Seems like they’ll do that for you once every 2 years or so. At least that’s what they do around here. Maybe yours will too.
I went back in the thread and looked at the “before” pics you posted of your place and it sure is pretty. I don’t blame you for wanting to move back there, even if you have to rough it. Did they ever catch the people who burned it?
