While the time frame of Burning Man is temporary (only 1 week out of the year), the added side benefits of the anticipation leading up to it, and the bounceback endorphins, and whatever else you bring back with you, reverberate.
The house, while it will bring some frustrations, and desire to get things 'done' and to the point you want them to be, will provide a neverending source of accomplishment, and happiness. You'll always have a refuge. A place where you can be "you". A place that no matter what your family says, you'll always be able to say, "Eff you. This is mine."
But, yeah. Having said that, I would love for you to be able to get away for a few days before the closing, so you can be refreshed and not think about the house or work for a bit.
And, while lamenting not being able to go this year, look forward to the next time you'll be able to go. And you know that you will.
