A stepping stone trailer Jonathan and Andrea
proved that a trailer can be a cheap and easy way
to work toward buying your dream homestead. "We spent
the first 10 years of our married life living in various rented
apartments, a townhouse, and even one 'real' house," Andrea
explained. "We had decided that the city we were living in was
getting too big and to live a more sustainable life, and for our
sanity, we needed to get out into the 'country'. We soon realized
that finding both a house and a piece of land that we liked together
was going to be impossible. So we decided to focus on the land
and build a house."  Jonathan and Andrea
appreciated the ability to move out of their
apartment and
into the trailer immediately. Two years later, the perfect
32-acre property
came along and they spent an additional $12,000 having a spot graded for the trailer on their new land, installing a septic tank, and
having the trailer delivered and set up. "[The trailer] allowed
us
to save money on housing
while we searched for the property," Jonathan said, "and now allows us
to take our time
with choosing the spot on our property for building the type of
home we wish to construct, while also allowing us to build at our own
pace."
