First Steps Done

I need to get the doors installed inside the containers (in the middle of the grey container and near the back wall of the blue one). Longer term plans are to use the grey container as a workshop and the blue container for storage of my household goods until I build a house and general storage for the trailer.

Next week (Oct 11) I should be getting the first 6 apple trees and a pear tree delivered by Stark Bros.  I plan to put them behind the back wall above to both hide the next door neighbors house and to try to protect them from mule deer & antelope until they grow a little bigger. 

The solar power system should also be coming in over the next couple of weeks. I bought a kit from the AltE store (website HERE) that is a medium size off grid system.  

Sometime over the next week or two I should get a visit by the well drilling company. I talked to the company recommended by a couple of people and got on their schedule. I’m expecting to get good water at about 400-425′ down. It should cost about 15-20K. I will also be collecting rainwater off the roof as a backup. 

My lease on the apartment is up on Thanksgiving Day.  So the two-three weeks prior to thanksgiving I plan to move into trailer for the remainder of the Winter.
