Spring, is that you?

What a roller-coaster week of weather! Cold, strong winds, snow, sleet, rain, low clouds. I could almost hear the geese cursing as they flew overhead.

We managed to resolve our heating issues, so at least we could stay warm in our Little House in the Big World. And we have exactly the right number of pans and buckets to catch the drips from the rain! Yes, our roof leaks. Something to see to once it warms up enough for sealant to properly cure. This is a borrowed RV, so I'm not about to complain! Free rent is free rent, so putting some equity into the RV is the least we can do.

It's been hard not to go looking to see what else is for sale out there. We don't have money pooled together yet to buy our own RV, and we're still flip-flopping between tow-behind and RV, but it's just so darned tempting to check Craigslist or poke our noses in at a used camper dealer.

We do know one thing: we want a home with bigger tanks. We have a 15-gallon potable water tank, and a combo grey and black water tank. We've been trying to tap our resources sparingly. We don't put any grey-water down the drain if we can avoid it - I do dishes in two tubs and toss the water in the grassy field by the house when I'm done. It adds an extra step, but at least we don't have to drive to the RV dump site every other day!

Wilderheart has been working at another job site for the past week - the realtor we're working with pulled him off his main project to get another home ready for listing right away. He should be finishing up on that site today, then returning to working right outside my door. I do really miss him when he's away, but the reality is that without our move into the LHitBW, I'd be missing him for weeks at a time. This way, we still get to be together as a family in the evenings. It's been a blessing!
