Unless you are DD2. She finds hanging around the house to be very relaxing. I did get her to power wash 3 sets of winter tires today.
I honestly have so much that gets done at home, home is my real life, work, the barn and the long days. I get my school work done at school, but I also watch a lot of TV in the large amount of free time I have.

New closing is set sometime after June 20. Survey is the hang up, it got pushed back, they just have too much to handle. And no, don’t suggest going to another one, I’d have to start over on a 3 1/2-4 month wait.

So I’m going to get the work done on outside of sons house. Plus get vent a hood put in, must cut hole in roof, there isn’t one at all. And get electric plugs reset in backsplash, and get the backsplash done. Got a guy coming by at 3, to give a bid and let’s get the party started.

Yeah... not sure how "normal" people can afford to live in the NE :idunno
It's fairly impossible unless you bought a house when the prices were low. Young people cannot afford to buy a house, and they're moving out in droves. Rental prices are also crazy high, I'm not sure why or how anyone can pay 3k or more to rent out here. We're two hours from the city so it's not even an easy commute!

Nothing and nobody up here is "normal" :weee

Thank our present federal government. They have a low opinion of most Americans. Especially rural people.

I've gotten to the point where I'm so disgusted with everything that I'm simply working on being as self reliant as I can be. Unfortunately, the town I live in has more rules than any other town on the island, making it nearly impossible to be self reliant. The number of chickens, and the gender of said chickens is regulated. I can only have 6 hens, and no roosters! Fortunately my neighbors are extremely cool, and there's a few roosters in my area.
A limit of number of animals we can keep on particular sized land parcels...2 horses per acre, and if you try to find an actual acre of property around here, the price is ridiculous. We paid a kings ransom for this cabin, but it has an acre of property, joined to my long time home through the back yard, we have almost 2 acres. However, if I want to get any kind of livestock, goats, sheep, pigs..I need a license. No cattle in this town unless you know someone who will approve it.
Of course, many people keep goats and the neighbors keep their mouths shut. Thank goodness.

Everything is legislated and regulated, and frankly I don't think half these rule makers even live in this town. The neighboring town to the east allows anything and everything. That's where we all go to get our livestock.

Sounds like the town’s people need to take their town back. Vote out the rule makers, fire them or whatever. Run for their positions and win. Bring freedom back to your town. I think pretty much across the country, people are getting fed up with control freaks making rules “for thee but not for me”.
