I live off 19, near Monticello :) It's a good drive to Tampa, made that drive a lot back in my college days.

Welcome, I'm near Tallahassee.

Wow, it has been a while but things have been interesting. I no longer live in the cabin, moved out around March, but lived in it for around a year and loved it. Never got everything finished but had everything I needed. After a year apart, my wife and I reconciled and are doing great. Weird...

This is not my van or blog and I haven't seen him post here in a bit, but you can't beat a $300 dollar, one hour, full conversion: http://www.vanlifecrisis.com/2015/09/the-320-1-hour-van-conversion.html

Wow, almost three months in the cabin and doing great. Still finishing up the build but it's very comfortable. Not having a large mortgage or rent to pay every month is awesome. Having money left over when you get a pay check is also a nice feeling. Seeing your balance on your credits cards...

Well, we made it through with no damage but power was out around 11pm on Friday and just now got it back. We had a generator so I was able to run my AC and tv for a few hours here and there but we should be good now.

Make one for free, check this video out (not mine but the simplest shower I have ever seen)

Thanks, I was lucky to have some available land to put it on. It's really comfortable and is hopefully going to finish up quickly.

Well, it's been a while. It's been hot. Real hot. And with the new dog and the kids, it's easy to find something else to do rather than melt out side measuring, cutting and then lugging everything inside to put up.  But, finally got some stuff done and got to work: This is from the bathroom...

Oh my gosh, that honey badger video was funny :)

I hope that $20 camera has a heck of a zoom feature, that moose looked close! I lived in Nome for six months, I had never seen snow :)

In my opinion, this is pretty much exactly what is going on in most big businesses now. I think that when the economy crashed a few years back, most businesses had to cut costs and most did it by cutting their work force, cutting corners or both. But, once the economy got a bit better (I am not...
