He hung out with the laundry today. He played a bit too hard with his best friend, my daughter's pure breed German shepherd. My pittie has hip dysplasia, and he's been down to 3 paws for a few days. Trying to get him up to full power!

An impressive build!
Do you think you'll miss having windows?

Yup regular GE fridge\freezer in the living area cuz I need ice and a chest freezer in the garage. I've designed her to survive 90 days in the woods with food\water\supplies. And no cell phone. Hate having an electronic leash shoved up my a$$ all the time. I don't know what people think of me but I am a shut in. I generally don't go into public but to get supplies. People generally disgust me, dirty, smelly, disrespectful, and generally awful. And while a lot of people think I want to get rid of my phone so the government won't watch me. But I have a security clearance higher than the president of the United States, so I really don't mind the government watching me. I don't like it with Google watches me. Yahoo and shows me an ad about something I was talking to my daughter about in real life. I know the government's watching me, and rightly so. And whatever government agent watches me is so bored out of his mind...... I might post a gun review or target practice but that's about as controversial as I get. Besides growing cannabis. I'm too broken to go deer hunting anymore (which sucks because I never really enjoyed hunting but I sure love eating wild game). But all in all I'm building her to live in full time, not camping but living. I've never found a community that I felt like I was "home". Still looking for that place.

A conventional wall with a door will be right there where the power inverter is the other side is just framing.

I'm going to be moving the truck to it's final build and test living location (where it's at now is super unlevel) and I will be living in there I hope before Christmas !

Are you Jason Bourne?

I have bad migraines. No windows is on purpose. Sometimes I just need to escape the light. The real issue (to me at least) is not having a secondary exit, in case of emergency. The real killer of it is, every penetration is a point where cold\hot\bugs\mice can get in. Right now it's a big Coleman cooler. 2-3 inches of foam all the way around. Putting the heater on 68..... It's almost too warm. But those are good problems to have!

Are you Jason Bourne?

No I just don't care for most people! Just easier alone most of the time. Don't care for cell phones or other people minding my business! Then again I don't feel "at home" in most places. I guess I just haven't found my tribe.

I gave up the Jason Bourne routine in my 20s. It hurts. Then they start replacing parts and it's all down hill from there

I really wanted to get it moved today.... But alas Uric I knew him so well..... Battery dead. By the time I had everything cleaned up and organized my shoulders gave up and I didn't get her moved

Big Bertha is in the driveway. Should get great solar production if nothing else. Honestly it came out a lot better than I thought. Now I have to figure out how to level it up. Looks like 19 1\4 inches to make up.

I'm preparing for moving in so I'm starting to put together the kitchen. Forgot to take a picture with the stove in place next to the griddle.

Which way do you need to level it? Back to Front. Or do you just need to level it from the grade on your driveway?

Duals are 19 inches low. Was planning on texting or calling you today about this . Was pretty late when I got her there!

I've seen folks use 2x12's to level single wheel campers. 19" is pretty high so the car ramps would be a bit heavy but you don't move them often.

Made some progress in the last couple of days. I "dried her in" all the walls are built, door is in and handle is on(they missed the screws out of the bolt lock so that's why that's not on) And I made some real strides towards getting the bed frame built.

 

[pineywoods]

Progress looks good

 

[bigfurmn]

That is looking great. Keep it up this thing is really cool.

 

[nomoreusmc]

I really appreciate the support My living situation is dissolving pretty fast so I am really doing what I can to get this livable. I am about to loose my inverter for a few weeks for warranty repair. Just being so poor I have to make every nickel cry and building everything myself instead of just buying nice stuff! I'm so crampy! Thanks so much for your interest and support!

Seeing your screen name, did you see the Fab table in the back? I'm going to use a Hobart Titan as my backup generator and I'm also going to use it to weld and to power my inverter welders. The back is a mini fab shop because I still love to weld!
