Dreugan his toys and his beer! Today we worked on getting the kitchen container setup, picked up a hideaway couch.
We had a surprise visit from someone that is looking to move out here, and wanted info on setting up, what we’ve found so far that works and doesn’t work.. We enjoyed our visit with him, and hope he’s able to achieve his goals.

Frames built for the first solar panels, just need to dig ( or drill ) the holes for the legs, mount the frames then the panels!

Road to Plateau Hame De Colquhoun! In the next days/weeks many things will be changing within our layout.
We’ve been so busy with all the projects, and campers, we haven’t taken time to record or edit anything we’ve recorded. We are hoping to start adding content to the #artoftinyliving #youtubechannel about #modernpioneerism, #homesteading and living #OFFGRID soon!

Dreugan now 33 weeks old 7.5 months and still growing. He’s been doing good, still has puppy brains, and hormones are kicking in.. We plan on having him neutered but the vet recommended that we wait until he’s 1 to 2 yrs old, for bone growth. Love the puppy but also can’t wait to get pass that stage.
We got most of the mowing finished. Worked on moving the stuff from the enclosed trailer to the new container that will become the battery house and storage. The enclosed trailer will become the water house, and the container that’s not here yet will be the kitchen, guest house.
We haven’t even gotten to start on the solar.. So many projects and We have a full week of campers coming in..

100 degree day, we didn’t get the rider mowing running it needs a throttle cable. We spent most of the day push mowing.. We did get a big percentage of the mowing finished.. We still have the parking lot (tent camping area), around solar and containers yet to do.
We did get 5 campsites mowed, 3 of which are pull through. Most can accommodate larger RVs 45+ feet.
We did find couple cute lizards, made sure we didn’t hurt them.
The first of the two new containers arrived today. We’ve done some changes in our planning. This one is going to become a battery/storage with hopefully enough room for workshop. The enclosed trailer (photo 3) that we had plans to make into a battery house, will become water storage with a shower. The newest container will become the kitchen, guest room.
On another note we had a old snapper riding lawn mower given to us by the container delivery guy! It hasn’t been started this year, but has a new motor, so hoping it’ll start without much issue, need to fix the tires.
So next question we’re asking, what project do we do first? Before setting the batteries up in the container we need to fix a leaky spot in the roof (we knew about it when we purchased it). We want to get the mowing finished, start build the solar panel frames?
We love our views! Container supposed to arrive tomorrow, have a full weekend of campers, Anne starts school on Wednesday and we’re enjoying some live music here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun! Only thing we are missing is all our friends at Sacred Harvest Festival this week!
