The Sale ... is done! The camper ... being hunted ... oops, is found!

(this is what happens when you start a blog post, and then don't finish it in one sitting ...)

Whew.  That was intense, exhausting, exciting, and waaaay more work on this end than anticipated.  But the response?  Truly Awesome!  Completely and utterly humbling and fabulous and exciting, to watch it unfold over the 2 weeks the sale was open.  We sold 34 pieces of art I think, and made more money than Michael thought possible :). 

(insert writing break of 36 hours ....)

.... aaaaand we found one!  It's not in our possession yet, but we trade cash for the vehicle and title next monday!

I'll give a very quick photo tour of the shots we got on the lot, as I'm supposed to be packing up the last few pieces of the art sale so we can take them into NYC and hand deliver them, leaving at midnight tonight in order to beat the big storm. 

30 feet long, 15 years old, and in mint condition.

The closest I could find to our floorplan: we don't have the optional chair or 3rd bunk, the wardrobe is to the left of the fridge, along with a wee pantry :), and the sink is inside the bathroom.

To your left as you come in the door.  That would be the kitchen table, the kitchen counter, the writing table, the game playing surface, the laptop stand, the worktable ... etc :).

The kitchen has a decent fridge, an oven that can actually fit a chicken roaster in it (more unusual than you'd think in the small trailers) and enough storage spaces to survive.  Just no counter top, unless you count the top of the stove.  It will be cozy!

reluctantly allowing a photo.  the couch folds down to a pretty comfy bed.  room for guests!

the bedroom, with an actual sliding door, yay for a smidgen of privacy!

glad we don't have many hanging clothes ... that tall cabinet is the space we each get to hang stuff.

typical bathroom ... it has a skylight thingie, as do each of the main areas.  very glad for a bit of ventilation and overhead light.

the boys' bunks, which are already being fought over.  fynn will get the bottom as it's got a cabinet near the foot, and D will get the top so he can stretch is size 9 feet out a little more!

There's a stereo cabinet in the corner and some shelves inside the door, and storage under the beds which adds a fair bit of space.  Think of it this way ... we have to limit what we take, including the weight of a full 55 gallon freshwater tank and 40lbs of propane, and all the things we bring/store/pack in there, to 2000 pounds.  The water alone takes 458 of those pounds.  We'll have time to figure out what will fit, and what gets shoved into the last corners of the storage space (or sent to salvation army), next week. 

It's getting a lot closer!  The scary factor amps up, the nerves are a bit wobbly, and the highs higher and the lows lower.  It's intimidating, exhilarating, and emotionally exhausting.  Looking forward to getting the major planning stuff finished, and to getting on the road and starting to work some of the kinks out, and I'm sure there will be many. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all, we have a tremendous amount to be thankful for over here!  Hope you all do also.

xo, and onward ...
