Checkpoint December

With the time approaching, a good half year away and closing, we've been thinking a lot about the basic materials to get started on this project.  While I'm kind of looking to build a trailer out so we can stay in that first, the second step is becoming frustratingly vague.  Do we build a micro-earthship so we can get some of the design and building bugs worked out before committing to the large structure?  Do we drop a tiny house or cabin out there first so we KNOW we'll be warm when fall and winter roll in?  Do we just go all out and try to knock out the whole project up front?

It's all up in the air at this point.  Sketching, calculating costs, figuring out where to source materials... it's foreign.  Not completely foreign, but our work has been cut out for us for a bit.  With the last of our abhorred financial commitments complete, the time to commit is rapidly approaching, and the excitement is almost tangible.
