So to get this thing going I will give you a little of our history and who we are. My wife Kitty (and yes that is her given name) and I were high school sweet hearts.We have been married for 22 years and have four kids. We have had some Great Adventures in that time. I have been a junker and antique'r since I was a kid and grew up going to auctions,yard sales swap meets and setting up in flea markets. After Miss Kitty and I got married I have been a electrician apprentice,mobile home service man,truck driver,framer,finish carpenter,tow truck driver and a few others.The whole time I was still buying and selling junk and treasures. In 1996 we decided to sell everything we owned and buy a motor home and travel around home schooling the kids and selling at antique shows and flea markets.We were completely debt free by 1998 and Loving the life on the road other then the shows were getting harder and harder to make any real money at because EBay was taking off and pretty soon we were just the middle guy for the eBay sellers.In 2000 the motor home blew up and we hobbled it back into Boise to my Ma's place and borrowed some money to get a Van.So with that we had to go back to work for somebody else so we could pay back the money we borrowed. So to get thru all this we ended up doing real well four a couple of years and bought a nice house,nice truck,four wheeler's and so on...A REDNECK WITH CREDIT IS NOT A GOOD THING!!! And then the Big Real Estate Crash...Miss Kitty was a Interior Designer and I was also swinging a Hammer again. There goes the house the truck the four wheelers and everything that I Thought we owned. Crap we didn't own nothing!!! Except all my Junk and treasures that I always collect and sell.Back to the swap meets we go...We Opened a store for a year but it just tied us down to much.We have a online store and do alot of bartering and selling on multiple online sites and are now back to full time self employment.Another thing that we have done for the past 15 or 20 years is fix up and restore Old Vintage Travel Trailers and that is a big part of where we are at now.I grew up a Good portion of my life in McCall, Idaho and on a Ranch in Oregon for awhile with my Dad and a year or so on a Old Hippie Commune off the grid on top of a Mountain on the Outskirts of White City Oregon also with my Dad.That is a Novel in its self. OK ...Now we will get on to Our Next Adventure...We at this time are living out of city limits on a acre of land with a Very run down old mobile home on it that we have made livable.I bought a 1949 Vagabond 32' park model trailer over the summer that we are completely remodeling and fixing up to make our move to complete off the grid living.
