Ukuhlaziywa kweTrendy okwenza ukuba ukuKhangela kwam eKhaya kuphantse kube yinto engenakwenzeka

Xa bendizingela ikhaya lam lokuqala ngaphandle kwePortland, eOregon, kusenokwenzeka ukuba ndijonge ngaphakathi ngaphakathi kumakhaya ayi-1 000 nangaphezulu kwi-intanethi. Kwaye nangona bendikhangela kude kwelinye icala lelizwe, ndikwazile ukubona malunga ne-50 okanye kunjalo buqu. Nangona yayinolwazi oluninzi lokuthatha, ekugqibeleni yayilungile kuba ndiye ndaba yingcali kwimo yangoku yasekhaya. Phakathi kwezinto ezininzi ezifanayo kumakhaya endawo yasePortland, ndiye ndaphawula ukuba enye incamathele ngaphandle njengesithupha esibuhlungu. Ngaphandle kokuba babekwixesha lokuzinakekela, abaninimzi abangenakubalwa babethatha indawo yeebhafu kumakhaya abo ngeendawo zokuhlambela kunye imvula kabini ekhohlo nasekunene.

Njengomntu othanda ukuzivuza ngebhombu yeLUSH ekupheleni kosuku olunzima, ndandididekile — ndide ndacaphuka! Umenzeli wam wokuthengisa izindlu nomhlaba, uRachel Day ukusuka Idolophu yaseDolophini PDX , Ndicaciselwe ukuba le nto iya ixhaphaka njengoko uninzi lwabanini makhaya olungenabantwana luzifumene lukhetha ukumiselwa kobunewunewu bokungena. Abathengi abafikelela kwiminyaka yobudala yomhlala phantsi, nabo, babathandile ukuze kube lula ukufikelela.

Uye wathi uyayazi kwasekuqaleni ukuba le glut yamakhaya angenamanzi azakuba yingxaki kum. Ngoba? Kuba, ngelo xesha ngelo xesha, ndandinentombazana eneminyaka emibini ubudala.

Abathengi basekhaya bahlala benokhetho olomeleleyo phakathi kweshawa okanye ibhafu, utshilo uSuku. Ukuba umntwana omncinci uza kuba sekhaya okanye ukuba umntu uceba ukuqala usapho, baya kuhlala befuna ibhafu.

Ngokuqinisekileyo, amakhaya endawabonayo angenazo iibhafu ngokukhawuleza awela kuluhlu lwam oluphambili. Ndacinga ukuba ngelixa ndingaphila ngokuhlaziya imigangatho, udonga, izinto zangaphandle, nokuba yeyiphi na, bendilungile ukuba ndifile-ngokuchasene nokuthenga indlu engaphantsi kwebhafu. Ndisazi nje ukuba ukuze ndikhuphe naziphi na iiprojekthi ezinkulu, ndifuna ibhafu elinde ukuba ndiphumle ekupheleni kosuku.

Yeha, njengoko izinto ezithengiswayo zithengiswa, andizange ndifumane ilizwi lokugqibela. Iimarike zenzile. Kuba bendijonge kukhuphiswano lwasePortland, kwimakethi yendawo yemetro yeOregon, uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali aluzange lundinike amandla amaninzi njengoko bendinethemba. Ndibeka izibonelelo ezingenakubalwa kumakhaya aneebhafu. Abanye babethwa ngaphandle ngabathengi abaphezulu kwaye abanye baziveza ukuba banokuba yimingxunya yemali.

Xa i-fixer ephezulu ndingakhange ndihlawule kakhulu ukubuyela kwimarike, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndiyijonge kwakhona. Ndakhe ndayibona buqu kodwa yayingena kwaye iphuma ngokukhawuleza. Ukujonga iifoto zayo kwi-intanethi, nangona kunjalo, kwandenza ndabuza ukuba ndidlulile na phezu kwendlu kuba ingenayo ibhafu. Andizange ndibone enye kwiifoto kwaye iarhente yam yokuthengisa izindlu nomhlaba nayo yayingaqinisekanga. Ndiziva ndiphelelwe lithemba, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndiye — ndiyathemba ukuba ityhubhu iyakuvela ngomlingo.

Isicelo sethu samkelwe! Kodwa xa ndangena, ngelishwa uloyiko lwethu lwaqinisekiswa: Kwakungekho bhafu. Ekuqaleni, kwakundicaphukisa, kodwa ekuhambeni kwexesha ndafunda ukulithanda ikhaya lam nangona lalibonakala lingenasiphako.

Kwaye ngelixa bendiceba ukulungisa umba webhubhu ngoko nangoko, apha ndiyazifumana kwiminyaka emibini enesiqingatha kamva ndingenayo ibhafu. Kakhulu kungenxa yokuba ukulungiswa kuthatha ixesha, imali, kunye namandla-kwaye kuye kwakho iiprojekthi ezingxamisekileyo zokugqitywa, njengemigangatho kunye neendonga. Kodwa ndaye ndafumanisa ukuba izinto endizidingayo ndizityhile ukuba ziyimfuno, hayi iimfuno.

Ngelixa oku kube sisifundo ekubeni bhetyebhetye, ikwayinto yokwenza ngokubaluleka kokugcina intengiso kunye nemarike engqondweni xa uhlaziya-ngakumbi kumagumbi abaluleke kakhulu, njengamakhitshi kunye namagumbi okuhlambela. Kuba ayemaninzi kakhulu amakhaya aneeshawari eziphindwe kabini kwindawo yethu, amakhaya awayeseneebhafu ngokumangalisayo ayenomtsalane ophakamileyo-ngakumbi kwiintsapho ezisakhulayo. Ngelishwa, oku kwenza ukuba ukukhangela kwethu kukhuphisane ngakumbi kwaye bekunganyanzelekanga ukuba sibe needola ukusinika umda.

Ngombulelo, ndiza kuba kwelinye icala lenxaki xa ndigqiba kwelokuba ndithengise: Iimpawu zedola zinokongeza ngokukhawuleza xa kulungiswa igumbi lokuhlambela, ke umahluko phakathi kokwenza isithembiso okanye awunako ukuwela kwindawo efanelekileyo yokuhlambela iimfuno zomthengi wakho, utshilo uSuku.

Ngelixa ndisahlelayo ngokulungisa ishawa (ndiyaphoswa kukuhlamba ibhedi!), Ndiye ndaqala ukujonga ukufikelela kwiibhafu / kwiibhafu. Ayindonwabisi nje ngoku, ndiyakonwabela nokukhawuleza kokuthengiswa likhaya lam, kuba iyabonwabisa ngokwenene abathengi abaninzi.
