wo0o0ohooo so I guess that I can upload pictures now…

so since im not a rich or well off person, being the sole provider in my beautiful family with 2 kids and 2 dogs. living off of a working man’s budget. this build will be slow and will involve me working 100+ hours p/paycheck to get her going. even though my job would hate to help me leave them they are more then happy to shot OT my way as much as they can. that being said.

 

I’m constantly looking through craigslist and facebook market place for things that I would need. and luckily I’ve came across acouple of great finds.. I’ve found this counter top reach in fridge for ( drum roll ) $50, too good to be true right? that’s what I thought. so after contacting the seller and hearing that ” It works great” I decide to take the trip which was a town over (about 15 min. drive) to check it out. I’ve ask for the fridge to be unplugged but readied to be plugged in so I can see it get cold… and sure enough when I got there, it was sitting in front of the house warm and ready to be tested. shortly after a quick walk around I had it plugged in. with-in a minute it got cold. about 40 degrees F.  and so I politely asked if I could wait awhile to see if it’ll kill itself and peel over or what not. but sure enough it stayed true. about 40 minutes later and no haggling. I threw her the money as hard as I can. launched the fridge with a fierce throw into my truck, and drove off like I stole it. but a couple of weeks before that interesting interaction, I came across a rv fresh water tank on FB marketplace  for (drum roll please) $40. the seller had absolutely no idea how much water it can hold, but with my keen eye for awesome finds I figured it had to be at least 30 gallons. anywho, it took me quite a while to get to the residence of the seller. due to the need to withdraw said payment amount from my bloodthirsty, undeserving, loves my money but not me Bank. I was about 15 minutes late of the promised time for which we had agreed on meeting. but after a look around the tank. and asking the obvious questions. such as where did it come from. does it leak? I brought out my phone to ask my loyal companion ( GOOGLE ) due to the dimensions. how much water this container could hold. being as I was slightly very late for the meeting. the sellers have grew rather annoyed about how long this transaction was taking. so out of the blue and with a rather harsh and angry tone. the lady spouted. ” if you can buy it this instance i’ll let it for for $20 ” I gave the lady one look, gave her a your an idiot grin slapped the 20 in her hands and rocketed myself and my accomplice out of there.

 

comes to find out it this tank can hold 40 gallons. which was perfect.
