For those of you that do not know us personally, I should tell you why what you see here is so sporadic.
While we are building our cabin, we are living in our motorhome.... totally off grid. There was a well already on the property, we installed a 'simple pump' that allows us to hand pump water. So we are able to haul water for cooking, drinking, bathing, etc. I think it takes 17 strokes to pump a gallon of water...
The motorhome has a generator that works when it wants to (and we have a portable generator as a back up) that we run when we need to use our electric heater. For safety reasons we do not run it while sleeping. We also have a propane heater and lantern that help tremendously to take the chill off of the really cold mornings!
Our 55 pound standard poodle, Mollie; makes a great foot warmer at the bottom of the bed!
Suffice it to say without electricity we have no access to high speed internet! We have some access via our cell phones but it is inconsistent. Anything requiring wifi waits for a trip to our county library which has been a HUGE blessing!
So now you know why it is soooo long between postings!
We have all of the logs up now and are ready for the roof, YAAAAYYYY!!!
I hope you enjoy the pictures, thank you for visiting!
