## Good Day Steemiverse!

I am getting more settled down on the property and have made another trip to bring more resources down to the land recently. I also got some help to drive down my old Subaru Forester so I can have a car I can dart into town with that doesn't use as much fuel.

With my Dad's help I was able to swing the camper around into a better position out of the sun. I am getting a better handle on my solar system, and how to use my energy which is mainly the Air Conditioning. I had some bubble foil from the insulation project in the Surthrival trailer. The bubble foil really helps keep the heat down during the day, and I installed it on the western facing side of the camper as it gets the most exposure to the sun. I'm using a standing house fan to circulate the air which uses very little power in comparison to the a/c. I am only turning the a/c on during the morning from about 5am-10am then from 12-3pm on its lowest setting, and it's working quite well.

I got this solar shower as a gift a couple years ago, and I must say it works really awesome for me off grid. Just fill up the 5 gallon bag, and let it sit in the sun for a few hours, and you have a nice hot shower. It has a valve that you just snap out, and the water starts to flow. I found a great tree to set it up on too!

I brought down my equipment for making aircrete, and my fish tank from the city aquaponics system to get started working with those projects. I will be making most of the bathouse using aircrete panels following some of the work by [@honeydocarpenter](https://steemit.com/@honeydocarpenter) from YouTube.

I also cleared out the trees at the top of the property so I can have a new pull through to the other half of my driveway on the land. I will be able to pull through in two different spots now! This means I won't need to maneuver the trailers as much anymore I can just pull completely through the upper or lower driveway.

Thanks for your time if you checked out my post!

Yours in liberty toward a brighter future,
