I missed when you were making the trip, There's supposed to be nasty weather here today
Mostly south of Route 80 . From north central Indiana across Illinois to the southwest.

One guy said it could be the worst in decades

Our house is smack dab in the middle of the nasty zone on the maps.

Wish we had indoor access to our basement. We have to go out and run around the house to get to the basement.

My usual plan is to take a ride out of the danger zone and comeback later.

This one is too big for that maneuver
 
We did travel through a couple of sprinklers, I think it was in Indiana. A while later kept seeing these flashes from the area where we had been. We determined that it was lightening, that was well after dark but IDK what time it was when we were seeing those.
I got on the weather bug, scrolled down to the lightening strikes within the last 1/2 an hour, it looked like the South of Chicago and mainly to the east of there was getting hammered with lightening.

That'd be great, but O don't know if the spare parts are going to make it that long

We're trying to get ready to get our house rebuilt. So far we have dimensions of the foundation.
I need to get a shipping container. I also need to get rid of the office trailer we have most stuff stored in.
I need to get another dump trailer.
I've actually got a few people to look, but we migjt have to hire some day help and get to better position for getting the rest done.
..I'm beginning tp think that I need to get my drafting arm off the floor and draw it myself.
.So far all we need is it drawn to the dimensions that are set by the first floor

The 2nd floor is leaving. Need a few walls and attic trusses over everything
I'm still not up to much. Exhausted all the time. My IGG is 278 and I should have had IVIG at least a month ago.- some6I jist found out last Thursday
Now I'm trying to get a new Dr
Or back with an old Dr.

All the while trying to help our daughter deal with her fire before Christmas
Which would gona lot easier, if she'd listen.
 
you planning to stay on the property while your house is under construction? maybe a travel trailer or RV? heck you might even enjoy the RV so much that you want to keep it like that LOL I've heard it's a nice change. that's my plan once our boys venture out into the wild!

We haven't decided on what our plan is our retirement plan involved a truck and a camper.
We bought the truck before I got diagnosed.

We've contemplated buying a camper or tiny house. Iroquois County requires 900 sq ft for a tiny house. Not very tiny. And expensive.
There was a much smaller tiny house for sale $20,000. It would have worked fine.

I think a cheap camper might be our best bet.

We should have bought the neighbor's house the last time it sold. We thought it was too much money at the time.
We would have done pretty good selling it when we were done with it.

I have a computer drafting program for houses. If you give me some dimensions and such I could draw you up some plans

Thank you very much. I will take you up on that.
I will try to make what we have. More legible and send it to you.

I have the dimensions of the outline of the foundation.

That's a really awesome offer. And very much appreciated
