Planning For Camping Now

Planning for stuff in off season can save you some money. I always buy in off seasons. Like buy AC in the winter , heaters in the middle of summer and so on. My son is already planning his summer camping trip with his brother. They learned a lot last summer. Last summer it rained the whole time so they are planning for that! 

He camps at home in the backyard a lot , too. Putting the tent up on the trampoline was his idea and he had so much fun. But they can't take the trampoline with them to Tennessee! They are trying to come up with an easy portable way to get tent directly off the ground. A bigger tarp to cover the tent with. I am making them get a canopy to cover the picnic table up for keeping food and sitting at least a bit dryer in case it rains as much as it has in the past. They will be there for 2 weeks. If they have less to worry about than hopefully they will have more fun.

                                      How To Convert A Shed Into An Off Grid Cottage

 

I have a shed in my back yard that I bought a few years ago that I am planning on redoing half of it into an off-grid bathroom. I already have everything. Just am needing to organize the shed and plan out the "room" that I will build for it.  When I bought the shed I only had them put one window in it, So would most likely build around that for the bathroom. 

These photos were taken right after it was delivered a few years ago. I wish it was still this clean.

How to Make a DIY Greenhouse - I Like To Make Stuff

 

I think everyone needs to have a greenhouse! No matter how small or big. Have to learn to grow your own food. Cannot rely on others and being able to get food in the grocery store. There are too many recalls on food! If you can grow your own food than you know what you are doing to it and how you are growing it.
