RE: My $5,000 Homestead - Picture Tour on Day 1

AHHHH! Crazy people could live like that and throw away all that stuff! I'm pretty sure there was a dead body in one of those pictures, I saw the hair (;
Wow, sending so much love to you and your renewal of this property. I really really really hope you don't spend a second living in that mobile home. The mold and junk and rat stuff will make you sick for a week. I've been cleaning out my garage that got devistated by rats while we were away for a year and your pictures remind me of your plight.
I hope steemit helps you out enough so you can build a tiny cabin. Also, don't know where you are in Arkansas but my friend @sarahjayn0801 has a little homestead out there too. Might be nearby, I have no clue.

Sort:  

LOL, it was a wig, and it startled me a little when I saw it there. There's a big wood chest thing in the kitchen that will be interested to clear off and open, it could fit three dead bodies. And those shacks... Might make a good set for a horror film :)

Thanks for the encouragement. I've been wavering over where I'm going to sleep, cook, and internet to get started. My first thought was a cheap travel trailer for a year or so until I can build a small cabin. Where would my time effort and money be best spent? I don't know yet. I'll clear it out first and see what I'm dealing with and then go from there. I appreciate you sharing your experience and thoughts about that, it helps.

Yes, Sarah has a Facebook group for Arkansas homesteaders. She's a few hours away, but maybe that group will help me connect with others also. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hmmm perhaps a meet and greet and a day of helping hands from others in the area???? Feed them and they will come...

If only I could get Justin Rhodes to stop by on his tour :) I am pretty remote and not close to much population, but I do like that idea and will consider something along those lines. You're super helpful weetree, thanks.

Now days we can no longer go with the lone wolf and we need to develop the community and bring folks together to be the help when we need it, just look at it as meeting your neighborhood. And glad to help where and when I can fella.

Haha! I really hope you don't find anything that creepy! I think the travel trailer would be a great idea even an old broken down van or truck could work for a while. Or a shipping container... or even a yurt or teepee might be cool. How exciting! So many options!

A tent will also work into late October. We've done it. They're right. That trailer will make you violently ill.
