Chapter 38: MOVING WEEK! (metaphorically , of course)-Part I

It’s been a grind lately. I’ve felt like a hamster on a wheel-running fast and going nowhere. Last weekend was particularly bad, especially since I authored some setbacks on my own. Note to self: when cutting into the ceiling, be… Continue Reading →

Chapter 36: Whew!

Well, we made it. Hurricane Idalia has come and gone, leaving us with no damage. THANK YOU JESUS! Several of you felt we should have evacuated and that people who choose to “ride out” hurricanes are crazy. We agree-they are…. Continue Reading →

Chapter 35: The Waiting Game

Usually we post on Thursdays and Sundays. We thought we would put a post up today since we are…waiting. Waiting for Idalia. That’s Hurricane Idalia, for those not living in a floating box in the Southeast US. She’s scheduled to… Continue Reading →

Chapter 34: Under CONSTRUCTION!

God, I love to break stuff. Kim and I used to watch a lot of HGTV and “Demo Day” was always my favorite part of the shows: Rip stuff out, take it apart, haul it away. If it’s no good,… Continue Reading →

Chapter 28: When Your Parents Lose Their Minds

Special from Nick Stephens: What do you do when your notoriously risk-averse parents decide to sell all their belongings and go live on a boat indefinitely? I mean, I don’t want to speak for everyone. I’m sure this is a… Continue Reading →

Chapter 27: We’re Camping! I Hate Camping!

Well, Kim and I live on a boat now. As you read this, we have spent 48 hours with Meraviglia as our only residence. “Wow!” you’re thinking-“they really got a lot of work done fast!” Nope. We have no running… Continue Reading →

Chapter 26: Teamwork Makes…?

Hi There! Bob here. I thought we were going on a sailing adventure. Instead, Kim and I are currently on a boat work adventure. It turns out we’re also on a voyage of self-discovery, sort of. It turns out, one… Continue Reading →

Chapter 24: We Must Be Crazy

That’s what you’re thinking, right? We know it is. Frankly, we are thinking that ourselves pretty often these days. Because, this has, so far, not gone exactly to plan. You may also be thinking “they made a big mistake buying… Continue Reading →
