Im alive and in good health, and should get a F for keeping everyone up to date, so I do apologize. The truth of the matter is I pretty much hibernated for the winter, and my nest egg got depleted a little bit, so went into survival mode just paying for the basics. </div>

The good news is winter is well over, and starting tomorrow I have once again become gainfully employed. Well part time at least don't wanna rush back into the work force to fast. So hopefully I can get going on some more long anticipated projects, and keep you all up to date!</div>

Long over due update. Things have been a lil slow out on the Mesa. Mostly hiking, and happy hours. Until recently when I realized old man winter was creeping in fast.<br />
<br />
Finally got around to installing the tankless hot water heater, which required cutting another 5 inch hole in the roof to vent this thing. 80000 btu puts off a lot of carbon dioxide, and even after all the holes I've cut into the container its still pretty air tight, so Ive been figuring out ways to get some make up air into it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--hCIHIEh90w/WCTD51pg9OI/AAAAAAAAMJc/Uz1hfwGeyDw3pA2eYGzYOvIEHYCteBH9QCPcB/s1600/upload_-1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--hCIHIEh90w/WCTD51pg9OI/AAAAAAAAMJc/Uz1hfwGeyDw3pA2eYGzYOvIEHYCteBH9QCPcB/s320/upload_-1" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hole cut, and double walled duct installed (B Vent). Not the ducting recommended for the unit due to possible corrosion overtime, but the recommended duct cost 220 smackers for 4 ft section, and this piece cost $14, so even if it needs replaced every few years its worth my time.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Vented out the roof originally planned on venting out the side of the container, but figured out that was not a option after I already had water lines installed. Was lucky enough to have just enough space between the panels. </div>

Finally after many months of living outta buckets and gallon jugs. I finally got running water in the home. The maze of hot and cold water lines has been run through the interior walls, which worked out great lot less worry of the pipes freezing this winter. The outdoor spigot will make watering the future garden much easier, the current experiment in gardening hasn't turned out so well :). Too much time building the home and not paying attention to the plants is my excuse for now. Heres a few more pics.....<br />

All is good on the homestead. Been busy running wires, and constantly thinking, and making changes to the next project. Want everything to be in order before the interior walls go up. Also started growing started a few experiments growing potatoes and onions. Will get to that later.</div>

Ginger not liking the crows on the roof. Also a rabbit has moved in under the container, which makes for the perfect babysitter Ginger never leaves the side of the container. Of course she still gets long daily hikes up in the forest. </div>

Yup its true! Large steel containers get extremely hot! Even thick insulation has troubles fighting off them temps, so decided to paint the whole container the same elastomeric paint that I painted the roof with.</div>

Dropped the temps a good 30 degrees on the exterior walls. Inside the container stays a few degrees cooler then the outside until late afternoon when it catches up to the real temp. A little warmer then I like but livable. </div>

Southern wall white for now. Would eventually like to build a removable shade cloth to shade it in the summer, and catch that heat in the winter. If you look closely there have been a few solar panels mounted to the roof. Also the yagi is up on the left front corner getting some blazing 4G out here in the boonies. With electricity and internet all inside Ive officially been living inside for 3 weeks as I continue to build.</div>

Ignore the mess. For the passed 2 weeks families been up from Tucson and the containers been used as guest house a kitchen, and storage for vast amounts of building supplies that slowly disappear into the structure then get replenished after frequent trips to home depot.

In the very early stages of the build I had no plans of windows just small tube skylights, but after much consideration I believe I would have gone bananas not being able to peer outside at the approaching storm.<br />
<br />
Days of scouring the internet for the perfect window for the container I came up with nothing. All were far to big, and the ones that were small enough were pretty flimsy. Eventually figured just build my own.<br />

Several hours of thinking, and trying to muster up the courage to cut a big hole into beast. Finally broke out the angle grinder, and begin to slice away. Slap together a couple short 2x6's a couple coats of paint a small sheet of some pretty thick plexiglass for less then $15 I had a window.<br />

In the original design the first 8ft were gonna be used as a shed/storage area, but after many nights of enjoying a few cold ones out there, its been determined it works much better as a front porch for now, and it does face west to enjoy some wonderful Arizona sunsets.</div>

Now I just gotta figure out what to do with the other 256 square feet, which is smaller then then most folks family rooms. However it's still about four times larger then what I am accustomed too. Plenty more then what I need.</div>

Been pondering for quite sometime. Just how does one lift up on 8500 pound 40ft steel beast? Turns out was a piece of cake. Dig a hole insert jack, and up it went. Throw a couple concrete blocks under the corners Viola! Perfectly level shipping container all inside of about 10 minutes. Yes that is Gingys nose consuming the lower left portion of the picture. Heres a few more pics.....<br />

Walls are finally framed up, and turned out pretty good! Considering my carpentry skills were pretty much non existent, but have been rapidly improving day by day. All those little black spots is where I've wire brushed some very minor surface rust, then applied a rust converting primer. Heres a few more pics....<br />

Been a bit leery about cutting into the steel beast not whole lot you can do to reverse the process, but finally managed to make my first incision. This particular cut will be for attic ventilation, which I think will be much needed took a reading on the steel when it was 70 degrees out, and the steel 117. Come mid June it will be a very nice feature more on that later.</div>

Many months of contemplating between a shipping container, large shed/cabin , or a travel trailer. Obviously choose the container for a variety of reason's.<br />
<br />
Its super secure I realize nothing is impenetrable. Definitely take a pretty ambitious thief to break in.<br />
<br />
Able to insulate it extremely well. Keep it a comfortable temp year round.<br />
<br />
No quick moving grass fire will harm it. About the only kind of fires we get around here.<br />
<br />
Add some stairs and you have a instant roof top patio!<br />
<br />
Gonna be alot more work to install windows and such, but at the end of the day will be well worth it.<br />

2245 days ago I moved into the Turtle, and within the next couple of months I will be moving out. After many months of pondering, and thousand of hours of research. I've decided to hang up my nomad ways for a few years. To give homesteading a shot.<br />
<br />
Ultimate goal is too build a little off the grid cabin, that cost close to nothing to live in. Electric by solar. Water by catchment. Heat by wood. Eventually throw a few chickens, and a garden in the mix to cut down on the food bill a we bit. Would be nice to be completely self sufficient, but taco, and beer seeds are hard to come by.<br />
<br />
I shall continue to post here with updates. Most of the techniques that are going to be used to build cabin will be useful for nomads as well.<br />
<br />
My gypsy gene is sure to resurface again. When it does I will have myself a great little mountain retreat. Heres a few pics of my stay up in Madera Canyon before I left Tucson...<br />

Then the inevitable. 3 outta 6 years Ive been nomadic The Turtles broken down right as I pulled into the folks house. Never like a breakdown, but if its gonna happen its a fine spot. Turned out to be a $150 repair so in the grand scheme of things not to shabby.</div>

Done pulling all those pesky weeds. Took a bunch of pictures, but wasn't doing the property any justice. Decide to do a video of a walk around instead. Here's what a few thousand smackers will get you in northern AZ.<br />

Was getting kinda chilly up at 9500ft, so decided to head back to the Mesa. Only to find my lofty mountain property had been completely overtaken by weeds! No Hoa's or pesky neighbors to tell me to get rid of them, but they are here, and driving me a little bit crazy. Plus it gives me something to do.<br />
<br />
<div>
So for the past three weeks Gingers been chasing rabbits, and I been pulling, spraying, and burning away. After 26 gallons of spray, and 9 tanks of propane think its safe to say in the next week I should have won the war on weeds. Here's a few more pic's....<a name='more'></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Black caterpillar invasion. They've been literally everywhere! That was the box my propane torch came in. All those guys crawled in it overnight.

On a recent visit to the <a href="http://www.newagenomad.com/2013/05/scotts-reservoir-show-low-az-review.html" target="_blank">Reservoir</a>. I lay awake listening to some teenagers talking about a magnificent Ice Cave they had discovered out in the forest. Figured the next morning I'd take a hike out into the woods in search of this great cave. After about a 4 hour hike going cross country was time to throw in the towel, and decided to head back to camp.<br />
<br />
Upon returning to camp I did some googling, and it turns out its a very popular hike in the area, which has some how eluded me for many years. Heres a few pic of the hike.....<br />

The title pretty much sums up my life so far this summer. Found a great spot 9400ft, good internet, weathers been in the upper 60's, and almost no hassles from anyone. So figured why not stay a couple weeks, which turned into more like 7!<br />
<br />
Daily hikes have been about the most exciting part of my stay, and even those have been pretty uneventful for me at least. Ginger stirs up tons of critters. Sure beats a early morning commute! Heres a few more pics.........<br />

Currently up at 9500 feet, but heres a hike I did a few weeks ago while at Los burros campground loop is 14 miles moderate inclines, and there is a shortcut if the whole loop is to long. Cutting the distance down to 9 miles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mere minutes on the trail I ran across a man claiming he had just come across a wolf, then moments later another guy who had just seen a mountain lion chase down a elk. </div>

Couldn't help but think these two fellers were in cahoots trying to scare a green horn outta the forest. It almost worked, but got to thinking my drive into town is probably 10 times more deadly then a hike in the mountains. In the end I made it! Not without some aching feet. Heres a few more pics</div>

Picture from the trail with tower barely visible. Trailhead leaves Los Burros Campground about a 7 mile hike unless your following me turned out to be about 11. Someone had knocked over the sign pointing the way dam vandals. Eventually ran into a group of ATV'ers who put me on the right track. Elevation gains about 550' . Heres a few more pics....</div>

Been many many moons since I been back to Los Burros. One of my favorite spots just never able to get internet. This being my first year up here with my <a href="http://www.newagenomad.com/p/cell-phone-boster.html" target="_blank">Yagi Antenna</a> figured Id give it a shot. Success!!! Not blazing 4G, but I was able to muster up 3 bars of 3G enough to feed my internet addiction for a bit.<br />
<br />
Los Burros was the Ranger Station back in 1909-1910 Ranger rode his horse daily to the top of Mountain Lake Lookout to check for fires. Not sure how they battled forest fires back then. Considering we struggle today with all of our modern equipment. Took the 3 1/2 mile hike up to the look out, but will get to that in a later post. Heres a few more pics of Los Burros<br />

My stay at the Mesa has finally come to a end. After 2 months of unseasonable weather I've sat through snow, rain, and sleet. The temps are finally driving me to the higher altitudes. Spending most morning's hiking across, what seems to be a almost forgotten part of America. One can't help but wonder where is everybody? Land can be purchased next to nothing. Zoning laws seem almost non-existent, and a mere 20 mile trip to almost anything one could desire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yet on a recent trip to town I mention the location of my property to a local. Why would you wanna be out there with all the crazies? Do you have water? Is there electricity? To which I replied "Yup got both of them, and as far as the crazies, there everywhere, that just depends on your perception of normal". I then received a blank stare followed by a chuckle further back. Perhaps if I were belly up to the bar I would I have tried to explain a life outside the box, but since my last item had been bagged I simply said" Have a good day!" Heres a few pics......</div>

When I arrived back to The Mesa on April 2nd the days were sunny, and creeping into the 80's. Since then its been a slow decline, with at least a few drops of rain each day, then finally waking up to this ^^^^ just this morning. Which is great the mountains up here need it, keeps the forest service happy as well.<br />
<br />
I've spent the last 5 weeks making plans to build a off the grid compound,or home, but compound sounds much cooler. Complete with shipping container home, green house, 1500 gallon water catchment system, farm animals, and enough solar to run the whole operation. Many phone calls and days later the whole set-up would cost about 7 to 8 thousand. Not to bad for a compound.<br />
<br />
The whole idea seemed fantastic until reality crept in, or maybe the beer wore off? Either way,that trip into the mountains, or down to the desert would become a 1 week hassle instead of a 3 month adventure. That's when this quote bubbled into my melon.<br />
