Future temporary home

In one day, we payed cash for 37 acres and bought our temporary home. We found this beauty in Del Norte and payed $700 for it.

It does need some work, but it has so much potential. It drives nice, but sways a lot in the incredible wind we are having these days. For it's age, it is a wonderful find.

We are not sure if any of the systems work, but we cleaned it up today, plugged it in and found that all of the lights work. The fan above the stove works, and the air conditioner comes on, but it remains to be determined if it is blowing cold air.

There is some work that needs to be done to the shower walls...like replace them with something waterproof. It could use a new toilet, and possibly a stove and fridge too. And the over the cab bed area needs some work too. Apparently there was an incident with a bear....? Anyway, there was some leaking and some water damage, but it is sealed up now, we hope.

We also met with a man about putting in a driveway onto our new land. We need a culvert installed. The estimate should come in this next week.

I kind of like this cash only economy. Not that we have a choice with our current credit situation and the current bank lending practices.

For around seven grand, we bought our land and our temporary shelter. The adventure is underway now!
Homesteading in an RV? Only while we build some really cool earthen home.
