I wonder ....

• Tuesday, August 12, 2008 - It's official

Let it be known that as of today, the 12th day of August, in the 2008th year our family has decided to take the plunge. We will be crunching some numbers ... finding costs of a solar RV kit & a water storage tank (including pump & set up). Then we'll work at selling everything we own with the exception of curriculum & some clothing. Then we buy an RV & a piece of land we've had our eye on.

I am so excited to finally take real steps to reach our dream of homesteading!!!

I know it won't be easy ..... I'm sure we're trading one group of stresses for another .... but to know we will grow our own food .... build our own home ..... it is sooooooooo worth it!!!

As for our home .... we'll be building one 20x20 room at a time .... paying cash for all the materials & slowly, by the sweat of our brows, we'll have a home. Once we have a few 20x20 rooms built, with the sq. footage we want, we'll work on the inside.

The plan is to have everything sold, be in an RV & on our own land in less than 6 months .... preferrably less than 3 months!

That sounds great. Similar to my own dream. I've come to terms that *In God's Time* it will happen for us.

you might want to look on Craig's list for an RV... some of the prices are great right now. People are dumping their RV's cause of the gas costs...

That's awesome! I hope it is everything you dream of and more. Some day, we'll do that too, but for now we keep down our current path.

That is exactly what we are doing...We are signing papers this week on 18 acres, and moving there...either in an RV or camping trailer and hopefully we can build our own home one piece at a time or can get one built....Right now we live in my dads home and are trying to sell it for him... he has agreed to pay me commission which is a large sum of money..if it sells we will use that money to fund some of our home...
