this is where we live now
40 acres in Washington paid
for in cash
to explain how we got here
we have to go back a few years
we spent a year converting a
plumber's truck into a camper
built it ourselves from scratch
once it was finished we quit
our jobs and hit the road
a full year across the West
Coast
Vancouver Island, Baja Mexico
everything in between we
were looking for land
somewhere we actually
wanted to put down roots
we didn't know exactly where
that would be
then we drove down a dead end road in Washington
and just knew this is that place
over the next few videos
we'll show you the build
the trip and how we ended up
