Valuable resources...

I have a few things to catch you up on,so I think I will just pop up a few quick posts from my phone over the next few days.
Also can't for the life of me transfer photos from this phone to any other device...so if I have cell phone pic I shall cell phone blog he..he..he really I'm not as un-techy as I seem!!

Anyway...So this past Sunday,my partner and I decided to hit the RV & Cottage Life show.It was worth the price of $10 each to get in..I believe we spent 3-4hrs there.

Slightly unimpressed looking pic of my partner to follow.He's actually having way more fun than it looks like...once we got through all the vendors and he got to look at the toys that is....

Well as tired as I was at the end of the day I went from having no idea what we were doing to having no idea what we're doing but with a whack of business cards!

To sum it up,I talked to anyone that I thought could help us.
That includes 3 guys on insulation,5 guys about solar power,one lady and one man about water filtration.We got info on generators,wood stoves,pellet stoves,energy tests..and a business card from a lady that will drive to you and bath your dog in her van.So if our dog happens to get skunked while we are bus living, I don't have to bring him into our tiny living space and gag us all out.This is a fab thing!

Anyway,I found some people I liked,people I didn't, some that couldn't be bothered to waste time on our small project and some were all but rude.
The important thing is I found a few businesses that I would consider driving our bus to (when we have one) so that they can do work for us...and I mean drive a few hours to get to as opposed to using others in the area.
They were that great.

So whether we decide to do things ourselves or pay someone to help us,I have a well labeled stack of cards in my binder that will tell me exactly who I need to call..and some to remind me who to avoid.

So if you are thinking bus conversion or tiny house..get thyself to an RV show.Some of the swag is not bad either!
