Wow a BIG step!

 Yesterday was a huge step in my progress here, so very emotional as well!  A friend offered to take my camper after I mentioned I just wanted to give it away. It had served its purpose and had enough things wrong with it that I didn't want to deal with the open market for it.  Yesterday reminded me of my journey , buying the property, buying the camper thinking I wouldn't want to live inside the "house" until it was renovated, selling my house in Eden, moving into the little house here realizing if I wanted running water I was going to need to keep the house warm so why heat the house and the camper? Left the camper at my daughters place for the winter and moved it up here in ...April ? I think  , moved in and my son in law and granddaughter came up to start ripping apart the inside of my future home. Its been a whirlwind ever since!  

    Yesterday brought some of the end of that journey closer,  When my friend came to take the camper I had already told him that the guy who moved it before had broken something that makes the camper elevate and he had just used a jack and blocks to raise and lower it. My friends hitch is much higher and in a higher truck so he wasn't sure that method was going to work....safely.  Course my stomach was in knots worrying that I would be stuck with a camper forever...but luckily my friend is a "plumber" so knows pipes really well and went to work fixing the broken piece and a couple hours later, I was filming it leaving.  Yep, I cried with relief!  I can finally see my little house !  

     The next couple of days the inside will be finished with the exception of a little more painting i'll need to do but soon I'll show you the before and afters....:) But here is the before and after of the OUTSIDE..:)

This is how she looked the first time I went to see it,  my property is .78 of an acre which is perfect and a mile from my daughter and her wonderful family which is perfect again, I love my neighbors they are all so very nice , 

This is the view I've been looking at since April , lots of people say they didn't even know there was a house there! 

I look forward to my future  here...

My contractor is going to take a couple dump runs for me when he finishes inside which will be in the next couple days.   I plan on a few elevated garden beds in my front yard for growing veggies and I'm going to move my firepit towards the middle of the yard so I can have my flower gardens on the bank where it is now.  Today I'm getting a couple cedar posts to finish the fence ..:)
