The Inside!

Ok so here's the inside.....buckle your seat belts, and just imagine living in here with 5 (almost 6) little people!!!! ;)  (spoiler: It's kinda FUN!)


First, a cute baby taking a bath...a nightly occurrence due to the before posts about excavating :)   Good thing we have a full size water heater set up with the pressure tank so we can all shower at night if needed!  Whew!

 Ok, this might just be my favorite feature of the camper!  I LOVE This little teeny tiny bathtub!! I think it's so cute, and it's perfect for Eli, and Luke!  (not so much ME, hence the outdoor shower! Haha)  Macy is such a cute baby helper she's awesome :) She loves to give Eli baths...

 Full view.....of bathroom.....

 Sometimes the counters even get cleared off and it looks even better.....but not often..:)  
here's the main living area....dining table




kitchen.....lots of cabinet space actually. I've been pretty impressed that I have had space for pretty much everything I need!


 I had to make a crazy couch cover just to add some color to it all :)  Luke is enjoying some down time with his favorite show....
 Little baby fridge.....we have a full sized one out in the shed...





Front door area....Here's a shout out to the sticky hooks for the walls! I LOVE  them!   They have come in so handy around here....






kids room....closet and 4 bunks..




 boys' side.....Lane is on top. Luke and Eli are in the bottom one.  Just a quick note about that......they are AWESOME!  I'm not sure if I'll be able to get them to sleep in their own beds again after this is all over!  Luke and Eli just climb around in a heap until they fall asleep usually all over each other. It's the cutest thing ever.  Usually Eli is the main culprit...he LOVES to snuggle, and Luke is such a sweet big brother and just lays there and lets Eli be wherever he wants. I wish I could take a picture without waking them, but take my word for it, it's adorable :)


Girls' side....
 All their clothes fit in the their beds, with enough room for them to still lay out flat. Yay for being little!! :)

Only one pic of our bedroom because it's usually a dumping zone :) I'll be honest.  BUT Look, our computer fits in there and we have FIBER internet...thats right, people.  We're probably the only camper with high speed internet. I think it's hilarious :)  When I called to set it up, they had no idea what they were in for.  The installer got here before our scheduled time, and called me sounding a little confused and what we had going on. Once I explained the situation he was more than happy to run the line to our camper....haha....Love living in the country where people are ok with the ghetto fabulous....


SO there you have it!  It's home sweet home for now!  Now we get to concentrate on getting this house built!  And for school to be over! Oh yeah, and for this baby to be born!!   Living the dream here....we are so blessed for this all to come together like it is :)  I know it's not everyone, ok probably NO one's ideal,  but we're grateful for what we have and the chance to build again....

keep the adventures coming! :)

Home Sweet Home!

Well the big reveal has come!!! Many of our friends and family are anxious to "see" this camper home we've made, well here it is!  Here's the grand tour....enjoy!

Let's start outside, because I was pretty excited to get all my bark done this weekend for all my walking paths :)
 Ta-Da!
 This is my path out to the car.  Our Dog is loving the new bark we put down to keep the dust at bay.  The cinder blocks will get flowers in them soon.....real ones even,....not fake ones! haha
 still working on unpacking the "patio" area and getting stuff put away and organized, but it's coming along!  
 the whole view

 so this shows the path from the camper to the shed which has our Fridge, freezer, and washer/dryer
 another little path to the back "yard" where the kids toys are...
 path to the "facilities".....which I'm just gonna throw out there, that port-a-potties ROCK!!!  They come and clean it/pump it every week and put smelly thing in there, it's like a self cleaning bathroom!!!   I might just have one when the house is done! ;)
 Complete with path-lights!!!
 path to the outdoor shower
 So it has been brought to my attention from various friends and family that this is not everyone's idea of "cool" or "fun" SOO if this makes you uncomfortable.....TOO BAD!!  haha I think it's awesome and everyone should have one.....
 We happened to have some metal so we even made privacy walls....
 Concrete pad for extra fancy-ness.....haha
 best. showerhead. EVER!



 and yes, a curtain for those shy folks......Just and FYI we have NO neighbors anywhere in sight, and we could shower in the buff in complete safety, except maybe being seen by a moose.....

 the other camper?  That's for my nephew, Alan, that's coming to work with Scott this summer....
Look how cute the lights are!!!


Ok....let's go look inside on the next post!
