As much as we love our independence and adventure of living where many dare to live. It can be very hard and lonely at times. Within this desolate area we have a community that watch out for each other. We have became a family. As a family we check up on each other, visit and get annoyed with each other. We know all that is going on, for if one sees something or someone unusual, we all get a call.

Why can’t it be easy?
The solar build is on hold 😦 We have gone through the wiring and have to admit it’s really confusing.. We have gone through it all, awhile ago trying to lay everything out according to list we got.. It was confusing cables aren’t called same thing as on the list.. So we figured we’d just build and work one step at a time..
We are now to the wiring, we figured out why it was confusing.. We are missing half of the wiring.. Emailed the company now it’s a waiting game. 🤬🤬🤬

So many projects not enough sunny days!
photo is rain coming over #ladronepeak.. 2 days of rain and cloudy days is making hard on the little solar system. Rain has also slowed us even more on the bigger 8k system. We are very close to finishing but much of what’s left needs sunny days. Last week all our sunny days we’ve been busy with other life projects.
It’s now evening and clearing off, we are fully booked up with campers for weekend here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun. We just finished up getting everything set up for the #campers. We’ve been so busy even Dreugan has passed out.

Rainy, busy days
Have most of the mowing finished🤣🤯, items purchased (hopefully)🤑 to finish up the solar. Now just need to have a day that isn’t raining☔ or we have other commitments🦧 so we can finish up the solar.
We are booked heavy for the next couple weeks or so, but if you are interested in reserving a spot for a night, two or even longer visit our Plateau Hame De Colquhoun Facebook!
Plateau Hame De Colquhoun our goal is to live off our land without leaving much of a carbon footprint. We have opened our land in hopes that others can come be themselves, relax, explore, learn or teach within a safe Environment!

Enjoying a good fire!
Spent a night sitting around the firepit! Worked on getting the batteries, inverter, controller all set up in the battery house. We need to make a run into Lowes or Home Depot to get few more items before we can hook everything up. It’s slowly getting close to being finished! Then onto the next project…

Where no man has lived before..
Living where no man has lived before, to build a homestead, live off grid has many challenges.. Not only dealing with nature but our own emotions and inner challenges.
We are slowly getting closer to have our home set up. Room for friends or family to come visit or just hang out. A place for Brent to complete his own or someone else’s music or festivals with bands. Brent has all equipment and lights to host bands or DJ for an event!
Though we have many projects we still would like to complete; Stage, deck, shower…

Solar build almost finished
The solar panels are mounted. Tomorrow we move the batteries and get them setup. This is the 8k system that will be powering the Music Studio/Library and the guest container. We have a small setup yet to build and move the smallest!

Taking a Break
We took a break from working on solar, and other projects at home Plateau Hame De Colquhoun and went on a short trip to help and visit with family, and friends in Ruidoso!
When ever we go on a trip we have a rule that at every overnight spot or attraction we go to we need to get something from there, that we place in our scrapbook of remembrance.
