More pictures!

And here is me, right after donating my hair. I'm trying to be fancy since I was in a wine shop.



Here is an outside shot of my home. I took a few of the inside as well, however I forgot to use the flash, so they are too dark.

Nomad no more

Yesterday I moved into a lot out in the Deschutes River Woods area of Bend. It's an acre lot, complete with trees, rocks, and neighbors on both sides. It terms the nomadic lifestyle of towing my house around with me everywhere I went.

The downside is that now I have to drive out of town to be in wilderness, instead of just walking outside my house. The upside is now I have water, electricity, and a toilet, all for $385 a month. (not that bad of a trade off)

Home.

So I don't have pictures, however my trailer is finished. The new hardwood flooring looks great. Also this is the first place I have lived at with a gas range. Being a cook for all of those years I have always coveted having one in my house.

House

I am so excited about my new "house". My dad is flying into Bend to help me with a few projects.

The first one is we are replacing the flooring. I bought some pergo brand flooring and it is very regal. We are also going to install some cabinets. Replace the fridge and propane tanks.

I'm also going to figure out how to use this computer and put some pictures up for y'all to see.

New home.

I followed through with my plan to buy a trailer this morning. I bought a 1971 Road Ranger. It's 21 feet long, about 10 feet wide and has a bathroom with a shower, a queen sized bed, a range, a table, its pretty sweet!

Home sweet home.

I want to ask your opinion on something.

Buying a house, is it a good idea?

I know if I could out-right buy one I would be better off, but what about the 30+ years of inflation laden interest I would have to endure? I have something of an experiment I am wanting to try, where I am going to buy a travel trailer and live it, parking it in a RV park. Costs would be way down, and I could save more for a down payment for a real house.

Pros I see in this is that moving would be real easy, just move. I wouldn't have to rely on other people to uphold their ends of leases. I could save gangsta money living in something I own and just paying 300 bucks for power and space rental.

Cons are no girls will ever date me. I would live in a travel trailer. I do get lonely living alone and being in a small trailer would probably increase that. Also no girls would date me.
