My husband is a union electrician, a good job but, like any trade it is dependent on construction. In the early spring work started slowing down and we knew it was only a matter of time before things got worse.
Sure enough, in early June he was down to three days a week, then two and then one.
There is always work available through the union but sometimes you have to travel.
We aren't new to this however. Three years ago, with an infant daughter, we took the plunge into trailer ownership and headed to North Bay for five and a half months. It turned out to be the best summer of our lives! We lived on the lake and spent our summer exploring new territory.
This year I will be sad to leave my family but I know there will be trips home and the lure of traveling is calling again.
For now there is garden tending to be arranged, a pool to be drained, a trailer with supplies for three to be packed and an early birthday celebration for Little Miss S to take place. I am exhausted just thinking about it but I know it will all be worth it.
Hi Stacey! I don't know if you have ever read about this or not, and it may be too late, but there is a group of people online who live on the road for long periods of time or permanent. Many of them are Roadschoolers. They have a website and a yahoo group. They are called Families on the Road or FOTR for short. Check them out. Anything that comes up with your trailer or anything else to do with living on the road or in your RV they can help you with. Have a fun summer!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip-I will check that out. It sounds very interesting.
