Thanks all in your hilarious replies to final week’s ridiculous drawback! They made my day.
We discovered the answer!
Final week after actually 20 unanswered telephone calls, I waited outdoors the postmaster’s workplace making an attempt to get solutions. Which went like:
Postman: “Oh sorry, everyone seems to be out proper now altering a tire for a stranded mail provider.”
Me: “Oh, are you able to assist me?”
Postman: “Nah, I’m off the clock.”
Me: “Your hours say you don’t shut for 10 extra minutes.”
Postman: 🤷🏻♂️
I didn’t get any useful data apart from to “come again when they’re executed with the tire, however then it’ll be after hours so that you would possibly as nicely simply wait till subsequent week.”
The college district known as me again and let me comprehend it’s been 18 years since they final ran lessons out of our constructing, in order that they now not accepted mail for the handle, as I suspected.
In the meantime, Heath spent the entire day working from the campground, which he’s how he spends most workdays, and saved an eye fixed out for our mail provider.
No luck.
As a result of naturally, the mail provider got here by in the course of the one hour Heath left to seize lunch, in order that they missed one another 🙈
However by pure luck, our contractor occurred to cease by the property on the time! And the mailman stopped him.
“Hey, I’ve some mail for this handle,” the mailman stated to our contractor. “The 4th mailbox over there’s empty. Simply put your quantity on it, I can stick your mail in there. It’s all in my truck.”
The contractor texted this data to Heath and Heath known as me to let me know the excellent news (however not till after I gave the postman a withering search for skipping out of labor early and refusing to assist me).
Evidently, I purchased stickers at Walmart and we now have a mailbox!
And I didn’t even should whip out my garden chair to maintain an eye fixed out for our mailman 💌
One drawback mounted!
We’ve spent the remainder of this week firming up the designs of the RV park and having very intense discussions about issues like highway width, the place is the perfect place for dumpsters, and a few storm drainage conversations which have gone means over my head. (That’s while you simply nod alongside to what the civil engineer suggests and scribble down phrases to Google while you get off the Zoom name.)
Now that we’ve nearly finalized our designs, subsequent comes growing the development designs. AKA the place {the electrical} strains run, the place water pipes go, the place sewer drains, and all kinds of issues that we’re about to study.
This entire course of has been an enormous studying curve for Heath and me, and we love attending to share all these ups and downs and bizarre tales with you.
Thanks for coming alongside on this loopy campground constructing journey with us!
