Cabin Rental site #1:

Camplux outdoor shower installation and testing 🚿 🔥

For installation make sure you have a solid 12 volt battery, d batteries and a full propane tank. Installation and set up went well, the outdoor shower camplux system works amazingly. Actually need to be careful it gets extremely hot on max heat I mean literally hot enough for boiling water, no joke. But luckily it went well and we should have this cabin up for rent here by Monday 🤞🏼

Cabin rental site #2:

Our second cabin rental site is a renovated travel trailer. Painted the inside and out, fixed up and reinforced a few things that needed work and put down wood flooring inside of it. We're going to add a little chiminea a grill few chairs outside and we're ready to rent! Finally. Also has an amazing view 360° as well as about 100 yd distance from Little Cane Creek 🏞️ 🌊

Ended up getting hinges on the outhouse door and stained it. I plan on carving a crescent moon out for the door but I think I'm just going to spray paint that on with a stencil.

Next up is the septic for the travel trailer and to dig a 6 foot deep hole for the outhouse. Once these tasks are done there's a few more things we'll have to button up but we should start running both cabin sites latest 10 days from now!! It's all finally coming together 😁

Two new tanks were going to use for our septic system for the travel trailer. Stay tuned for some updates once it goes into the ground. May not be an official if you will method for a septic tank but for our purposes and what we're doing it'll work perfect, and I've seen others do the same thing and it works great, and it's much cheaper. I paid a total of $100 for both of these tanks. It is 550 total gallons. Septic tanks that are 500 gallons are easily $1,200. This is one of the critical elements of homesteading, and that's saving money and trying to do everything yourself as much as possible.

Up close view of one of our now many grapevines. We've a total of 10 🍇. Future plans include a food forest that is going to include fruit trees, berry bushes, herbs and grape vines all working synergistically together.

This particular grape is named Catawba. It is a vigorous, hardy American grape variety known for its purplish-red fruit, used for wine, juice, jams, and fresh eating, especially in the eastern US. A hybrid of Vitis vinifera and Vitis labrusca, it's famous for its role in early American winemaking, particularly sparkling Catawba, and thrives in full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It's self-pollinating but requires significant care, including pruning and disease management, and ripens late in the season (late September/early October).

Outhouse build 🌙:

Well, we're a little bit behind schedule but only by a few days. That's always to be expected anyway. Got the outhouse done. This will be part of the cabin rental and it includes an outdoor shower as well. Outhouse just needs a little bit of stain, door handle, hardware etc. few last-minute details and the cabin will be ready to rent to the first weary traveler.
