For whatever reason it's going to be more windy than it's been this whole year this week starting with tonight. We had a big gust earlier than knocked half of the tent over. It was due to the stakes coming out of the ground. It's very soft here, I'm going to see if I can find some cheap ground anchors. We should be okay the tent should be able to take 60 mph winds.

I put in some additional stakes and a tpost I had to hold down the main pole on the front. This should help a lot. It wouldn't be so nerve racking if this would be happening in the day. I can handle the day, when everything starts falling over in the dark is when the panic starts. Don't worry too much we should be okay. Worst comes to worst we have the camper to go into. Usually the high winds are in the spring. I wasn't expecting the weather like this in October. Anyway, wish us some luck. We'll fill everyone in tomorrow morning. Wind should start slowing down Wednesday.

Hey everyone, just wanted to update everyone more posts are coming. We're just getting settled this weekend. Tomorrow I'll be getting the wood stove setup. I'll have a post on it and a video. Just trying to get the girls comfortable in here. Ollie is still on the fence.

Thanks again everyone for being so supportive.

Hey everyone Griff and the Girls here. I just wanted to get this video out to you asap. It's just a basic first tour as I still get everything together. Had an issue with the solar this morning so I didn't get to edit much or fancy anything up. The next one will be better and more in depth. I had to upload it to youtube the file was too big for reddit. I also forgot to mention in the video the table in it was one of the goodies I got and forgot to mention it in the video.

Thanks again everyone for all of the support!

Hey everyone, at this point I might just try and ask someone else for help. He was busy all day today and tomorrow. I'm starting to lose my cool at this point. I've been sleeping on a damp mattress and trash bags for days and he's still pushing it off. I'll keep everyone updated over the next couple days as I have no idea what the plan is. It appears it's not of any priority. I saw him this evening and he said he's busy the next couple days. I don't even know what to think at this point. I don't even want to ask him again because it's obviously not important right now. It's getting colder everyday.

I hate this feeling of not being able to help myself. I hate that this important thing is being ignored. He's the one who said he was busy I didn't even bring up the tent. I'm afraid to ask at this point. I know I mentioned I would ask someone else but honestly I don't have anyone else physically in my life. The girls would help if they could I can always count on them. I just don't want to make him mad by asking again. I'm just fed up with the week. I'm tired of sitting on trash bags because it's so wet. This is also the same place we sleep. I'm sorry to vent again I just don't have any other outlet at this point. Everyone here always makes me feel better. I'll find something interesting to post tomorrow I have no idea when the tent is going up.

Hey everyone, just wanted to update everyone today. It looks like my neighbor won't be able to help today. He made other plans, so I'm hoping for tomorrow. Sorry for the delay and lack of posts I'm just getting a little discouraged. If it doesn't go up tomorrow I'm just going to post the stuff I got. I got a couple messages from people saying I didn't actually buy what I said I did because I haven't posted it. I wanted it to be a surprise but I don't want anyone thinking I didn't buy what I said I did. Either way tomorrow you'll see the equipment I got.

Sorry again the good posts are coming I just can't do much in the camper right now. It's very wet and gross at the moment. I also wanted to mention how much I appreciate my neighbor. I'm just a little frustrated with timing.

Thanks everyone for being here you're all amazing!
