Taking a Day Break, Storage Unit is Empty, Sold Things, Fall Is Here
We needed a one day break so my husband went out to a good bye party with his friends and my son and I went swimming, to Peter Piper Pizza to use his free pizza coupon, and then we made candy apples. It was not a healthy eating day but we had fun and we all needed a break. I also wanted to show how much we have gotten done so far.
Should be less then 2 weeks left and we will be on our way to our raw land/local RV park.
Well we finally got out of AZ! Took us 4 days to get there but it was worth it!
We thankfully had help from my wonderful father to drive my truck with the storage trailer while I drove my husbands truck and my husband drove the RV.
We were all so tired and I was lucky to get to film what I could but we are finally near our raw land.
We will be staying in the closest RV park near our land until we can get it up and going to either live on or make it a camping site. We might look for a different spot near South Oregon but for now we will try to make due with what we have. The roads are super bad, getting to our land so it is hard to access it even with the trucks. We are pretty sure we cannot get the RV to the land so once we have a cabin built we can sell the RV.
But first things are first. We need to settle in the RV spot and winterize our RV for the winter then my husband will look for a job here. I have been homeschooling our son so that takes half the day 5 days a week or more. I also work on these videos and I try to keep everyone fed. There is also a lot of dishes, laundry and cleaning chores...so I will stay very busy.

Our front AC unit took a dump in our RV. So my husband replaced it with a new one. I only took photos this time around. Once we need to replace the back one we will record it and show you guys.
Thanks for watching!

We went to the closest Army Navy Store and found some 50 gallon barrels that we cleaned out and will use on our land for some water.
Right now they are cleaned out but we might wait till after winter to bring them to our land. We cannot do much on our land during the winter so we will do what we can until spring.
My husband is currently looking for a job and I am homeschooling our son.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks again

DIY Beeswax Wraps
These are very easy to make and I recommend for you to make some. They are very useful and it helps to cut down on plastic baggies. I still use some plastic baggies and I reuse the ones we get from the stores but this does help us cut down on the usage of plastic baggies and saran wrap.
Once we get to our land and get our small farm going we plan to try to stop using plastic baggies all together if we can. By then we will have a huge composting pile, recycling pile and we will bring reusable bags to the stores.
Well let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks again for watching!

Hi Everyone!
I hope you are all doing ok. We had made this temporary camping toilet so we had somewhere to go potty on our raw land. I think we will add either some pine chips or pine needles to help compost it down. We would like to make a better composting toilet but we will see. We will be adding a temporary cover around it soon. We just need to be able to get to our land first. We then will be dropping off our plastic tool shed and a few other things.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks again!

Hi Everyone!
We had to move again to a new RV park in OR. Since my husband got a new job we needed to move closer to his work and also find a park that had hot showers year round. It takes a lot of propane to heat a shower that only lasts about 2 minutes due to the cold here so it is nice to have another option.
This video is to tell you why I was not uploading videos for the past 3 weeks or so. Now I should be getting caught up from the last 3 months of video we took. I thought I had lost some video from our land in Jan, but I found it so I will be posting that next.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks again.
