**Part One: Preparing for Our Solar Build – Cleaning Out the Trailer**
Before any off-grid solar system can be built, preparation is everything. **Part One of our solar build journey** begins with a task that isn’t glamorous—but absolutely necessary: **cleaning out the trailer and getting it ready for solar installation**.
The trailer had been serving as storage for months. Inside, we carefully stored **all of the lumber and building materials**, along with **tools and electrical equipment** needed for the upcoming solar build. Everything except the actual **solar panels** was kept safely inside to protect it from desert weather.
As we cleared the trailer, we took stock of what we had, organized materials, and made space for the next phase of the project. This step is critical in any off-grid solar build. A clean, organized workspace helps prevent mistakes, protects equipment, and makes the installation process smoother once the solar components arrive.
Living off-grid means every step counts. You don’t just build—you plan, prepare, and adapt. Cleaning out the trailer wasn’t just about making room; it was about setting the foundation for energy independence and long-term sustainability.
This marks the official beginning of our solar build series. In the next part, we’ll move into staging materials, final layout planning, and preparing the trailer for mounting and wiring.
If you’re interested in off-grid living, solar power setups, or real-world preparation behind renewable energy projects, this is where it all starts.

Living Off-Grid in the Desert: Daily Routine & Full Moon Adventure
### A Lazy Day in the Desert: Staying Cool and Getting Work Done
Today is one of those lazy days in the desert. With the sun blazing, we decided to stay in and focus on some much-needed tasks. It’s the perfect opportunity to catch up on work while staying cool.
First on the agenda was updating our website. We created new events on Facebook, ensuring our community is in the loop about upcoming gatherings and activities. Handling paperwork and sending out emails followed, keeping everything organized and on track.
As the day progresses, we look forward to welcoming today’s campers. There’s something special about the anticipation of new arrivals, each bringing their own stories and energy to our off-grid haven. Tonight, we have a live rehearsal scheduled on Clapper, which promises to be a highlight.
And of course, we’re excited to take in tonight’s full moon. There’s nothing quite like the serene beauty of a full moon rising over the desert, casting a magical glow over the landscape. It’s a perfect way to end a productive day, reminding us of the unique beauty and tranquility of off-grid living.
Stay tuned for more updates and events. Until then, we hope you find your own moments of peace and productivity.
Visit our website for more information and join us for an unforgettable experience under the desert skies.
