Finished building the bed, put the bed on hinges so I can put the water tanks under the bed and I wall fished the wires down the wall and cut in the boxes, wires them in, and installed a new bolt lock on the door. Funday Monday!

Okay I couldn't stop so in went the washer and dryer (obviously dryer is a wall mount). If anyone is curious they are 1\2 size models that have become a big thing in Asia and people who live in apartments. They work great,use little power and water (4l of water for a full wash) so I also threw my griddle and over in there. Stove was too wide to fit to leave it but was pretty for the photo.

Is that one of those vent less dryers?
Very smart on multiple outlets that aren't dedicated to an appliance. I've told people to put in a square ( 4 receptacles ) in the kitchen area as they tend to be the appliance farm.

I'm a whore for kitchen gadgets. Almost all of them plug in.pizza oven, food processor, grinder, blah blah blah. Then it's where I go to hang out and it has more light, blah blah blah
 
Well let's try this for a counter. Table was in the basement for my whole life. Decided it should put in some work.

Dogg freaked out going down the ramp and ripped up my back. I tore something, pretty sure. Not sure if I can even get in bed.
 
Ole pup is saying. I am sorry for yanking you down the ramp!
Yeah I know he is. I'm just surprised how scared he is. Someone forgot to tell him he's a big bad Pitbull! 😆 I still love him even if my back doesn't love me rn! Round 2 for ibuprofen 800 and muscle relaxers!

Honestly I have a hard time remembering that I am a disabled person and I don't always act like it, unfortunately it's usually to my detriment, and it almost always hurts very badly! Lol kind of nice not being my fault for once!!!!👌😁

Everyone seems to be on point. Yes I plan on using LP for everything that makes heat, because heat is an electric killer. Also called an inductive load, uses more power for less work or calories of heat. My mini split is going to be paired with a diesel heater. The diesel heater will do the job of warming up, the mini split will maintain the heat. Or that's what the plan is RN.

Yes, small and cramped. Also called efficient! First off this is WAY more space than a United States Marine gets on a Navy vessel crossing an ocean for months at a time. But when I did that I learned to appreciate a small easy to clean and maintain space that is everything you need and nothing you don't. I'm not really about things. It's about the adventure and the experiences. by the time I was 17 I had hiked 144 mi of New Mexico mountains, sailed a sailboat to Australia, already graduated army basic training,, graduated high school, had my first degree in electronics (2year) and was already engaged to be married. Now that I'm looking 50 straight in the face I fired the wives, raised my babies (3) and I am ready to have some adventures. Eat good food. See amazing sunsets and BBQ while watching the sun go down. I have a garage too so I choose the 15 foot of living space 11 foot of garage\workshop. But have plenty of space for clothes, food, water, power, warmth and cooling, and hygiene. I'll eventually find a place I want to call home. Find a spot deep in the woods and buy a little chunk of my very own a build a home there with my own 2 hands. And maybe a long the way I can find a woman who doesn't cheat and maybe a good view of the northern lights. And an amazing collection of BBQ toys and awesome bird feeders and squirrel feeders. Sounds like heaven and I will build it myself 😁 my preferred life style.


Vapor and smoke alarms are on the shopping list as a CO2 and an argon saturation meter (so my welding gas doesn't take over the amount of oxygen that's in that shop). 3 louvered fans are going in. 1 in the smoke hood above the griddle\stove, 1 in the bath above the on demand hot water heater, and one above my welding table. A roll up door is not airtight in any stretch of the imagination. So I think I have covered everything.
