Again, thanks for the compliments. It is amazing how much better these look on this stand than on the old plastic ones. Shelves are adjustable and you can get extra shelves for around $20.00. While wheels don't come with it you can buy them separately. I bought everything at Lowe's so if your store doesn't have the extra shelves or wheels you can order them. The maker of the shelving unit is Real Organized. They have smaller units, too. Also come in black or white. I also bought a tabletop light fixture from Indoor Gardening Supplies (two T-12, 40 lamps). I took an old 55 gallon wood aquarium cabinet and hubby nailed boards across the top. I keep my supplies in the cabinet so they're convenient but out of sight. I'll post photos when unit comes in. Linda

Don't forget Rosemary Pineapple Sage, Lavender, and oh, well, I found what I was looking for: Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium) Annual - partial shade, rich organic soil. Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) Hardy Perennial - sun or partial shade, rich moist soil. Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) Annual - sun (can tolerate light shade), any welldraining soil. Curled Parsley (Petroselinum crispum crispum) Biennial - sun or partial shade, rich, moist soil. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) Tender Perennial - plant in a pot in the sun (will tolerate light partial shade) sheltered from wind, neutral soil (not acidic). Sage (Salvia officinalis) Hardy Perennial - sun (will tolerate light partial shade) well-drained neutral soil (not acidic). French Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus sativa) Hardy Perennial - sun (will tolerate light partial shade) well-drained sandy soil; Thyme - Regular (Thymus vulgaris) OR lemon (Thymus citriodorus) Hardy Perennial - sun (will tolerate light partial shade) well-drained fertile soil

Thanks, I did have a large receiver on my last pickup. My use of the hitch is limited to towing an aluminum 16' fishing boat, not more than 1500 pounds. The turck is a new Chevy Colorade, 2WD (but with the great GM option of traction control and automatic locking differential, I look forward to seeing haw well that works as a substitute for light-duty 4WD needs) and the bumper isn't "too" high. I think I'll try the bumper and see how it goes (most trips are under 30 miles). By the way, the "T" adaptor to get into the break/running/turn lights is great. The package was under $40 and was installed in under 15 minutes. I don't know when truck manufactureres started providing that connector near the rear, but it is a great improvement.

Jennymama, I just wanted to say congratulations on your new quarters! I came to this thread late so have just been reading through the posts...I kind of started chuckling about halfway through at the different "camps" we are all in (those who say "go for it" and those who shudder at the thought of living in a travel trailer for several months, LOL.) I wanted to do that when we were building on our land, and two years later I still think our lives would have been easier in many ways had we done so (we also thought about going ahead and building the shop and putting a small bathroom in it, to live in during the build.) I think you have three really big considerations that will make you very glad you did this. One is that the drive to your dd's school would take up so much of the time that you will need for dealing with things as the house is being built, not to mention time that could be better spent with your younger one. Two hours a day, five days is a week is a LOT of time that you just gave yourself! The two other things will be important to your sanity and comfort over the next few months, and they are the facts that you can put your travel trailer a bit away from construction site for privacy from the comings and goings of the workers (and safety for the kids re: construction materials) and also that you have that big finished shop. If you can keep that for your own stuff and not have it become a repository for storing construction stuff, it will be a real asset as far as storing kids' toys and household goods. You can both have things with you that might take up too much room in the camper, and start to move more of your stuff when it gets closer to time for the move. Good luck with the build and enjoy the outdoors.
