Still waiting to move. Bad storm dumped a huge amount of rain and of course the neighbor up the roads illegally built dam burst, it washed out a bit of our road in 2 spots. At least a (different) neighbor said we can use their road to get to our place, right neighborly of them.
Got the electric poles put up and now it's on us to trench and run wire from the poles 100ft to our place.
Even though we aren't living out there yet, did get about 7 different veggies planted. The temperature is starting to climb around here. It's quite shocking. it can be 90 degrees in current home, running AC's already, and I can drive out to our place, in the midst of trees in a hole and it's instantly about 15-20 degrees cooler. This has me so excited!!! We don't have a porch yet, just some chairs and a bench under the trees in the front yard, but sitting out there you don't feel hot in the least, or even warm. We get a light cool breeze. Even in the house, with no electricity and doors and windows open, was very pleasant. I can imagine this summer really only using future window units to cool the 840sqft a fraction of the amount the current house uses. Ceiling fans and box fans will do a world of good. Here in Oklahoma we often see 100 degree temps in summers, so I am really, really thrilled about this, prepper-wise.
Truth be told, I'm threatening to move out there, even though the place isn't finished. We do have water from a water hose. Have a composting toilet. A single burner butane stove and outdoor grill. A solar shower. An ice chest. And until we can get the funds together to get the remaining wire bought, trenched, and hooked up can use an extension cord for any needed electric needs or run the genny. Hubby off this weekend, we'll be puttering a lot out there I'm sure. Maybe I can talk him in to moving one of the beds, haha. Hey, roughing it would be good experience, right?
Sorry so long winded, just anxious.
