As mentioned in this thread, we are building a RV hangar and retirement home. http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=117303
I find this property build to parallel my RV build. The wheels of progress move slowly when when you are trying to save money. I search, investigate and do as much of the work as possible. Being your own General Contractor is a chore....especially if you live 230 miles away(5hrs+ toyota pulling a camper), but now Aurora cuts this time and effort significantly. I am able to zip up for a meeting or do a little work and get back to Townsend later that day and back to work. Here is a few cellphone pics of the last few weekends.
Loaded up a few weeks ago. BTW...9-10mpg took 5 hrs

Cleared a path and trench dug for power. I like playing in the dirt

Love waking up and walking the strip at first light. Good Morning Cabin Creek

Last weekend, I still needed the truck...but got the conduit laid, inspected and back filled. Then slugged my way home dragging the trailer

Yesterday the weather looked good, so I hopped in the RV for a quick trip as the Flying Electrician. the winds aloft were howling headwinds of 30-40kts up high, so we took the pounding down low.

Looked dark up the head of Seeley-Swan Drainage, so did the end around through the Jocko Vally. Already winter in the high country

Too bad I didn't have the GoPro running. The Tamaracks were in full yellow splendor. You can kind of see Bitteroot Lake peaking in the center of this sot over the ridge.

Aurora parked next to our road. Hope to still get the simple hangar built this fall.
