The derelict Quonset hut is officially under contract. We close July 7th 2017. The adventure begins...
So this is a long time coming, we have dreamt many a day and night about homesteading. It's a small lot, only an acre, but far enough from the city so we'll get our starry nights, wildlife, and plenty of room for our own little oasis. Here is where we will teach our children the importance of hard work, quietude, and family.
We need to gut the entire building, nothing is permanent... especially when it has been abandoned in the desert for close to 10 years. It has septic, water and electric connections, and character. We'll need a lot of help, time to call in a lot of favors. We'll need a fair amount of cash, which is hard to come by in the lean times we are trying to claw our way out of. But, if everything aligns, we work hard, we sacrifice, we will be able to live a dream. At the end of the day, isn't that what we all want? Stay tuned...
