Finally! We never would have dreamed that it would have taken so long to take an empty cargo van (Nissan NV 3500) and make it a home. Of course, we weren't going to be happy unless we did it "right ". But between stealth camping in two vans and years of tent camping, we were pretty sure of how we wanted the conversion finished. We thought it would take three or four months, tops. My four pregnancies were easier than this.
Now we just have to empty the house, clean it up, inside and out, do some drywall, paint and replace the carpet in two rooms. As soon as the house is listed, #4 will live here and take care of it. Then we're out of here. It sounds so easy, but it feels like it'll never happen. We were hoping to get out before the 100°+, but didn't make it.
But if you had told me a year ago what we would now be doing, I would have said that you were a nutcase. A year ago, I was living in a house in which I assumed I would grow old and die. That's not such an awful thing, but oh, our travels will be so much more fun!
