Trips 5 and 6 (can't remember what happened on the individual trips)
On these trips I Re-did the screens in the kitchen and livingroom. DH cut the screen frames that were missing and I put the sreen in. The power is now through the breaker now so no cords lying around. DH got Hot and Cold running water working (YAY showers!!) and on the last trip we had friends stay on the land with us. They tented and DD had a sleep over in the livingroom with our friends DD. DS got the bedroom all to himself and he played ALL day with our friends 2 older DS's (they also have an 11 month old DS). The Outhouse hole got dug and the kids got FILTHY! It was a great trip!
Trip #4
We brought a bed for the kids room on this trip and I painted underneath the sink (NASTY!) There was alot of grossness under there but with a solid hour of cleaning, vacuuming, and bleaching the under sink area got clean. I also painted the area white and started painting the outer cupboard facing white. It looks a million times better! We bought the stuff to refinish the screens and bought an outhouse.
Trip 3
We brought up a second couch (both hide a beds), an entertainment unit, a few electronics, and some DH things. We slept in the livingroom this trip and it was nice and toasty!
Trip #2
We brought up a couch and an area rug for te living room.
DH painted outside.
I painted around the windows in the livingroom.

First Trip Up
On our first trip up to the land DH and BIL put in a small wood burning stove. We had Genorator power in the form of 2 extension cords running into the house and plugged into power bars.
We slept there and it was COLD. Absolutely FREEZING. I shook so bad that my back hurt the next day. All of us slept in the Master Bedroom.
SIL and BIL (who live 7 minutes from our land) gave us a kitchen table and 3 chairs.
We bought a porta potty and used that for the bathroom facilities.

First the list of original condition
In December of 2009 hubby and I bought a 50 acre parcel of land in Northern Alberta. Shortly there after hubby and his father traveled up there, place a 40 sea can and purchased a 1970's trailer for the land.
The trailer cost us 6500 bucks and was painted with interesting color choices. Here are the room descriptions.
Kitchen- The cupboards were pea green on the doors with pastel green on the body of the cabinets. There is Mac Tac (the shelf liner stuff) on the walls of the kitchen. The cupboards under the sink were screwed shut. The laminate on the floor is buckled and there is a soft spot infront of the sink.
Kids Room- The walls are a vibrant blue and the roof is neon green. The closet holds the pressure tank and all the hook ups for the water softener that was removed. No molding around the window or along the floor of the exterior wall. A bit of old water damage (not too horrible) on the ceiling but it is very fixable.
Bathroom- Nasty old shower stall with a beautiful tub. The counter in a touch low and the toilet and sink are harvest yellow. Mac Tac on these walls as well.
Master Bedroom- Vibrant Blue and Neon Green walls. No insulation under the floors so it gets COLD in there.
Livingroom- The walls are an off white with a strange faux finish green around the windows. The floors are good and the windows are pretty good with the exception of one pane in the main window.
The screens in all the windows are either ripped or missing. There is room for a full sized washer and dryer with the hook ups. Lots of storage space throughout and the trailer is a solid structure.
