This week we started to tear down the house.
But we only got as far as the roof before we had to do other things. Andy agreed to work for a guy putting in rental cabins two miles down the road. Someone is booked to stay in one, um, today actually… so there is a big rush to get everything ready. One cabin and the bath house are almost finished, but they still need water and electricity hooked up, and with off grid systems, that takes a WHILE.
We have been gone about every day this week, running for parts, appliances etc. Since town is an hour away, running to town for parts can take all day. It stinks that the motor home is our only vehicle right now. We are in a constant state of upheaval!
I did learn something tho. It is possible to make bread in a moving motorhome! I waited and waited for the right time to make bread – a time when we would actually stay in one place for two hours straight, but it never happened. Finally I just started making bread, and sure enough, as soon as it was rising Andy needed another pipe fitting, so off we went!
Amazingly enough, the bread didn’t even fall much! It sure was good to have something fresh after eating canned stuff for a couple weeks.
This morning we started off (late) to the vet with our five puppies in the motorhome to get them their rabies shots.
“Um… Hon…” Andy said on the way out the lane. “Looks like our speedometer isn’t working.”
Thankfully it kicked into gear when we were partway to the vet.
I’m pretty sure this motorhome might just fall to pieces in the middle of the road somewhere!
