We're Going Camping, Permanately!

Have you ever gone camping without running water and toilets? I have only done so for about 5 days at a time. After those five days were up, we were happy to be back in civilization. Well, primitive style camping is essentially what we'll be doing for a little while. We will be moving out onto the 5 acres we purchased the 1st of April. Right now, there is no electricity or water or sewer.

This wasn't our original plan, but I think God had this planned all along. Once I gave up my job in Jefferson City, we had to make some decisions and the next thing you know, BAM; we're pioneers.

It's not as bad as it sounds. We'll have things one wouldn't normally have when camping, sush as: earth closets(portable dirt toilets), timber rights(we can cut down the trees), mineral rights(we can move rocks), and the ability to build whatever we want. Oh, and we hope to drill a well soon; with a hand-pump on it.

We're hoping to live in a quasi-quansit-greenhouse-type-cabin-tent. It sounds confusing, but look at the two pictures below and try to put them together in your mind:
