Today was exciting, my husband and I have been researching alternative ways to live and build. We have purchased property out in Elburz which is 15 minutes east of Elko, NV. It over looks the Rubies and the Humbolt river (the only river in Nevada).
My mother and her husband along with my husbands father are moving out to Elburz. We will be surrounded by family, secluded and off the grid. We are getting ready to start building a home with shipping containers. My husband is a welder by trait and is excited about this process.
Today we walked out 2.5 acres and planned where we were going to put everything. We were also out there with my mother who has an adjoin lot and will be developing their space as well. We were fortunate that we have family that want to be secluded also. I didn't really want to be out there with my family on our own.
I am also thinking about the mounds of work I have to do tomorrow. I have tried not to go into the school on weekends. So I drag my feet in the weee morning hours to finish lesson plans and such.
I also started weight watchers and am dying. I can't wait till my stomach shrinks so that I won't want to be filling it with everything in sight. I have been really good though, we have a bet going on at work and I am determined not to lose.
I am off to bed....for presious sleep. Ang
I've heard of building with recycled shipping containers and think it's great that you and your family are giving it a try! Good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteThank-you...it might be postponed for a bit due to recent events but were excited about the project.
