States we’ve all been to since last October 2020! We have rules for the state to count.. We most stop, get out of the vehicles, sight see or buy something for it to count. Driving through non stop doesn’t count. States we’ve been to before October or fly to doesn’t count.
We are hoping to fill most of the map up. Idk how can drive to Hawaii?!
We have many projects to achieve, but much of it is weather dependent. Forecast is showing rain for the next couple days. Which means we wait it out, don’t run much for electricity due to lack of sunlight. Once the new solar is up and finished, and new container is delivered. We’ll be able to do more of the work that isn’t weather dependent. But until then here we sit…

We had hopes of starting phase one build of the solar. But to start we need a clear day (to run power tools on the small solar, or generator) without rain. The weather shows rain for the next few days. We headed to town get few things at #walmart, while there we seen these couple of Prairie Dogs! #prairiedogs #cuteness #newmexico #Belen #artoftinyliving #plateauhamedecolquhoun #modernpioneerism
Our projects and future goals for Plateau Hame De Colquhoun!
Projects
1. 8kw 48v Solar system consists of 16 panels. 12 200ah batteries. We have bought the lumber for Phase one. Though we are going slow at this with hopes lumber prices will drop.
2. Music studio/Library
The blue moon container is going to be an Music Studio and Library!
3. Kitchen, sitting room, guest sleeping area. We bought the container for this and should be shipped within a week or two! Video is of the soon to be Kitchen!
4.Water system. We get water delivered 1000 gallons at a time. The water is stored in 4 350 gallon IBC toted. We plan to plumb the totes to run into a well pump(We have sitting in box in the container).
5. Shower, we are planning on building an outdoor shower next to the hut!
Future projects hopefully
1. Stage- we hope to build a stage in front of the Blue Moon Container. A place where we can hold concerts plus many other events!
2. Scenic deck atop the blue moon container will be a place to hang out and enjoy the views!
3. Plant Trees and gardens.. We have trees available to us, but before planting we need to get the water finished! Gardens we are hoping to use compost for the soil.
4. Prickly pear/ Juniper Jam.. we plan on harvest and making jam, to sell to those that come camp or visit.
These are few things we have planned so far, we have few other projects in the works.
Today we harvest Mesquite Beans #mesquitebeans that we’re using the beans to make Desert Coffee. When you book at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun you have option to order a morning cup of fresh preculated desert coffee $5.00 for 2 cups. Until this harvest is gone..
Desert coffee is caffeine free, we harvest, roast and grind the beans! Very tasty and unique flavor! Just bring your favorite additives (honey, sugar, milk).

Nothing like sitting outside and enjoying the moonlight after a hot day!
We’re still having issues with getting the videos edited. Hopefully soon this issue will be resolved and we’ll be putting out videos regularly again!
We are still having issues with the solar system that the controller had gone out on.. So we are putting building the new system in overdrive. We’ve picked up the lumber for Phase 1 of the build!

Second full day home, since we were lazy yesterday and just did few small things.. Today we got the 3500 watt solar setup (one the controller went out and overcharged the batteries) back up and running. We have electricity! Though limited no a/c, can’t run fridge on it nor washer/dryer.
We are hoping to start on the big solar setup it’s a 8 k is 48v with 16 200 watt panels and 12 200 ah batteries. Our 3500 watt is 24v has 6 195 watt panels with 2 100 ah batteries..
Now that the 3500 w solar is back up.. It’s time to wait out upcoming storm!
