 Wednesday, not particularly early.

I was going to get up and go to the men's bible study this morning? Yeah...no. I woke up, yes, getting up? Just said some other time, invited the doggy on the bed to sleep with me and went back to sleep. 

The NJ lady - the one that was assaulted by her former boyfriend, is moving out.  She's got her trailer sold and they are coming today for it.  I now have zero revenue coming from behind the shed. The New Jersey lady will be gone and the tent lady had a stroke and is literally broke.  And apparently can't speak very well.  

Whether I invite anyone to move back there or find a cheap trailer to put back there and rent? I have no idea.  I get calls all the time from people asking if I have an old trailer I can sell to them on payments?  The tent lady was doing well until this unfortunate circumstance took over her life.  But, the daughter is working on getting her on medicare, we'll see how that goes.  

I don't have the money right now for even a cheap trailer so that kind of needs to go on the backburner.  I did take a glance to see if there was anything...

But I am still looking at these glamping tents.  

What I'm looking for is some sort of cheaper type of living arrangement that I can rent out to people who are desperately looking for a place to live.  In my area, there  are lots of them doing that.  

Anyway, I got totally sidetracked from this blog entry and spacing out on how to build a small structure the cheapest way possible.  I didn't think it would be that difficult but they didn't have any water or sewer lines going into it or electricity. Not that I couldn't do that, in fact, I did do that on the shed.  Just looking to see how others might do it.  The fact of the matter is, however, that I wouldn't need a bathroom since it would be located directly next to the shed, it would only need a water and drain line for a kitchen sink.  Or, perhaps, a toilet at least but a shower would have to be taken in the shed. There is no need to spend that much money on shower installation when I've already got one.  

Heating and cooling in such a set up would be provided by a window AC unit that has both heat and ac.  That's the simplest way of doing it.  A one window, one door structure with a small kitchen and perhaps a toilet, electrical outlets, ceiling lights and that's about it.  Or, furnish it as well with a couch, bed, dresser.  I guess a small closet wouldn't hurt anything.  

I would have to price out lumber to see what it would cost.  I already have another electrical panel with circuit breakers.  I dunno, just thinking how I can make more money, I was getting used to this income from behind the shed and now it's nothing.  In fact, now it's going back the other way, what with the tent lady not being able to work, I'm going to have to eat their electricity.  I really don't know what to do about that situation excepting for right now, just sit on it, let her have time to recover and see what happens. 

I'm actually glad the trailer is being moved out today.  I should have positioned it differently so it didn't jut out from behind the shed. It was kind of an eyesore.  Apparently didn't bother anyone or if it did, they didn't say anything about it, but I feel like in this business, image is everything.  

Guess I'll go over there and look at things and see what she's doing.
