Life has escaped away on me lately. I seem to be hanging on by a thread. Not that there is anything majorly wrong or anything that I am unable to cope with but I just feel like if I don’t watch it – it could all just slip away.
Although in some ways our house/building is coming along nicely there has also been some dramas. The previous owner is trying to take us to the small claims court because of some native timber on the site. When we purchased the property we asked if the timber would be removed prior to settling. We were told that the owner didn’t want it and didn’t have time to clear the timber or any of the other rubbish on the site. Adman and I spoke to a friend who made flooring out of native timber and he recommended that we could use it for flooring. A week after we settled I had a phone call from another friend to say that someone was out at the land milling the wood. It turned out that it was the previous owner who had decided that he wanted the wood and he was milling it. The long and short of it is that we ended up having to trespass him and he has now decided that he will take us to court to get the wood -even though his lawyer who dealt with the property settlement has told him (and us) that he has no legal right to the wood.
Its frustrtaing and is taking up alot of time and effort – something I don’t seem to have much of at the moment.
I feel like I need to take some time out and make sure I ( and we) are happy with how our life is going but I also feel like we shouldn’t bother as in a few months things will be turned upside down when we shift into our new house. But until then I guess we just have to keep on keeping on.
Sounds a bit frustrating, this crazy wood man.
Keep on keeping on…a great mantra for today.
