My adventure...living in the garage

Now I'm comfortable in the garage,  been thinking for a long time how to live with out a few things like bathroom,  running water, things you don't think about coz they're there in our every day lives.  Electric was on so it helped a lot. My set up in the garage....

My adventure continues

It was very difficult to see the liberty go. I tried to give it away but it was to old to move. So I had to pay to have it torn down.  Now this was scary and heartbreaking.

My adventure ...my new home

Where do I start...I guess back in September 2017. I knew I had to buy a new or used trailer or something because my 1979 liberty was showing her age.  I moved in back in 1983 with my family.  Happy raise my 2 boys , life was wonderful.  Time went by, I was aging and so was my liberty.  I saved hard in the last few years, which is hard when you only make alittle above minimum wage. When I started looking at everything available,  Wow it was a adventurous experience.  Turned down at a few places,  either not enough saved or didn't make enough.  It was heartbreaking,  because I knew I  could pay for  a home. The internet,

This is where I  looked hard for over a year ..and I found it!!! Let's start by showing my liberty my home sweet home,  where at 23 years old,  I was a home owner.

Been a while since I posted anything to my site. Been dreaming of a cabin. Saving what I can to make this come true. Hopely next spring it will happen. Wish me lots of luck!
