Week 4

1 month of camping and we are still going strong. This morning Michelle was taking care of the bills near the kitchen table and Jack was supervising. Yesterday our doors and windows arrived. The cantina doors for the back wall look very cool! We cannot wait to see them installed. The gas meter was installed yesterday as well. Inside the house, we are starting to see the rough plumbing. You can see where the bathroom sink, toilet, shower, and kitchen sink will go. Very exciting! The plants in the gardens located on the front and back of our house are in good shape. The Ocean Beach Street Fair is scheduled for today. The skys are pretty cloudy but we are expecting lots of people around the neighborhood. Time to go cook breakfast.

Week 3.1

We created an awesome breakfast using Dutch ovens today! Later on we chilled out in the backyard, pick some avocados, & I put my old BMX racing crank on the green cruiser bike. Ready to roll!

Week 3

We are now on to 21 days of camping and things are working out. Construction has begun in the house. They are putting in the walls for the bathroom and bedroom area. We wanted a walk-in shower so they drop the floor of the bathroom 2 inches to accommodate this. SDG and E will move the gas line next week. We are now shopping for appliances. Jack is excited about the new layout.

Week 2

I think the demolition phase of the project is complete. Our house is nothing but four walls. Cesar, the main man when it comes to construction, is working on installing gas pipes under the house. He is using a makeshift table screwed too the floor supports to do his work. I picked Cesar a bag of avocados today.

We spent the weekend camped out in our backyard. We had a nice breakfast with the neighbors. We cooked the meal in our Dutch ovens. It is our second week of camping out and everything seems to be going smoothly. We are getting used to the new routines associated with being outdoors and taking a shower in our backyard.

Week 1

It's been one week since construction on the house began and we are living in a camper behind Ryan and Camilla's house. Things are going well. We are taking showers in our backyard shower and living in the camper. we are using the bathroom in Ryan's house. We think we will turn our second bedroom into a storage area and make our primary bedroom a little bigger. We are excited about the construction and picking out faucets. My back hurts a little from sleeping in the camper and I think I need a sleeping bag liner or otherwise my sleeping bag will start to smell nasty pretty soon. Jack has moved into the backyard as well.
