It is Monday 10/11 and this evening we expect the first snowfall of the season. Current predictions are for 6-8 inches of snowfall overnight with temperatures dropping into the high twenties.
To prepare for the weather change we moved the trailer into position between the containers. I was under the impression that the trailer was about 26-28 feet in length; it turns out that it is about 36 feet long when compared to the 40′ containers
This is before we extended the slide out sides. This is with the rear bumper within 6 inches of the rear wall. It will be a couple of weeks before we get the metal in to cover the back wall.
With the 3 extensions extended it’s a little tight on the left side, but there is still room to squeeze by.
Note the protective skirting around the base of the trailer. This is part of the “four seasons package” that should make the trailer livable during the winter. Also note the Starlink antenna’s temporary home. After we get some more of the work done I plan to move back behind the shop.
Preps for installing apple grove behind the trailer
Also I’ve ordered the first 8 apple trees and a pear tree that should be delivered this week. I’ve planned on putting the first batch of trees behind the trailer to both screen the neighbors house from my proposed homesite and to provide some shelter from the prevailing winds. This is the preparation holes in the sandy soil.

Very nice, amazing how you always think you have plenty of space but somehow you fill it up fast. Great start to getting ready for winter.
I told you Wyoming was cold! It was 73 and sunny here in Oceanside! Of course that all comes crashing to a halt on Thursday when I return to BC. Good job on being able to fit the car in there as well….no shoveling snow off it to go to town!
Thanks for keeping me posted….your journey in Wyoming is amazing. !
