YOU ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE FRIENDS LIKE KEVIN WHO ARE SO CARING & SUPPORTIVE OF YOU. SOMETIME EVEN OUR OWN FAMILIES ARE NOT THAT SUPPORTIVE & IT IS SUCH A BLESSING WHEN YOU FIND FRIENDS WHO ARE JUST LIKE YOUR FAMILY. GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR NEW HOME & MAKE SURE TO THANK GOD FOR FRIENDS LIKE KEVIN & HIS FAMILY! :)
You must have an awful lot of "stuff" It gives me a headache lol. I`ve done the exact opposite unloaded 90% after collecting for 63 years. A load off my shoulders.
way too much stuff for being a nomad he actually uses a large unit set up for doing auto detailing for a storage facility for his stuff . I Like Eric but He is fighting within himself and nobody seems to be telling him to stop trying to buy happiness .
Be careful with your collection Eric you know how destructive those critters are in Arizona. A pack rat could eat thru your entire collection in a day.
I'm so glad you'll be an Arizonian lol. I live in Apache Junction. I've been watching your videos for about 5 or more yrs. Congrats on your new place and tiny house. One of my favorite shows is Tiny House Nation. I live in a park model b4 my RV. So ya! I like tiny homes
Will your new building, will it fill up into compensation of moisture wetness, I really hate to see her Mickey mouse stuff get wet then mold. Shouldn't you put up some insulation or hire somebody that is willing to do that at least put up insulation, or you might have to really seal up all your fabric items. So no air or wetness can get in and ruin your product make it smell. All you guys think about these things friend.
IMO ONLY - Collectables should be kept in a climate controlled environment. Extreme cold and heat will make some things brittle. I thought that's one of the reasons that you rented the shop in Illinois?
The idea of using the 75 inch tv as a brace for boxes behind it will damage the tv screen. Please go get a thin plywood board cut to the same size of the tv or bigger as a backing to the tv to protect the tv from pressure that can damage the screen as they did not build those tv's to allow anything to be against the plastic back or front!!!
They moved Kevin's Purple Tiny house completely BUILT and full from New Mexico - they can move anything. Even the much larger 16x40ft versions - but it costs more and needs more oversized personel.
I see some exciting times ahead 😁, safe travels to Illinois and back..you've got plenty of time after you get everything to Arizona to get things the way you want them.. can't wait to watch the progress..🙏👍🤗
Who knows perhaps another 'good deal' for a shed will open that will allow you to have a 'add-on' garage or storage. Please make sure your shed is mouse tight because field mice that like to come in for the winter would love getting close and comfy with your Mickey Mouse collection. I hope you will be able to insulate it while it's still empty, a lot easier now than later. Your "BIG BLUE" is cool. Enjoy all the possibilities, stay safe !
Ok I’m going to check out Kevin’s channel and the shed people. I’m loving all the changes. I too live in a tiny house. Mine is 12x20. I love it. Remember this inside build up not out. Whatever you can have built to store things up more floor area. I’m always coming up with ideas to add to my walls. Your creative so you will have it looking great. Stay safe. Oh yea Opie really knows how to get your heart. Love that cutie.
Great news regarding your tiny house! YEP,,, only one arrow is left! I think age creaped up on them and rotted away. Saw that earlier this way on the way to Nebraska. Very sad….I’m almost 71 yrs old, and I remember the Twin Arrows as a child while on the way to visiting my grandparents. Guve the kitties hugs from me!
14’6 but just eats me that 100% of the items in that store were delivered by a truck driver that most likely is just looking for a place to get a couple hours of sleep after being on the road for long hours to making sure they get there items And yet can’t park there for a few hours to go to sleep.
Dang it Eric! 😆 Missed you again, I'm in show low taken care of my mom's estate, was hoping to run into you maybe buy you lunch, I'll be heading back to Indiana Tuesday Evening maybe I'll catch you somewhere on the road.. I'll meet you one day dang it! Lol
👏👏 ERIC, TARA, AND 0PIE. I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU. IT'S AWESOME TO HAVE , YOUR FRIENDS AS NEIGHBORS. 💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘. ALSO ALL THE NOMADS, NEED A BASE CAMP. IN THE TIME WE ARE GOING THOUGHT. 💯💯💯
Good for you Eric! My opinion, it's best to have friends as neighbors for support in good and bad times. And a great bunch of friends you have. Very blessed. Good move!
Very cool Eric...... Glad for you! Food for thought..... And I'm sure you have some kind of plan BUT you might take it easy on what you put in there before you move it to your new land, because with everything you talking about putting in there I'm afraid it will be way too heavy to move to your new location. Just a thought, might check into that aspect of it! Hate to see you have to unload it all again when it's time to move! But I know your so HAPPY, everyone can tell..... Your just bubbling with excitement and that's cool to see! Enjoy it, you lucky lucky guy!
And he's paying to store things that aren't even able to be enjoyed, because they're just in storage. Sell it all! Go minimalist, and be free from stuff.
Seems like it would be alot cheaper to buy a plane ticket and fly back to where your shop is located and rent a big truck to drive back with most or all of your stuff in a single trip. Both in gas ⛽ , mileage, and wear and tear on the rv. That's going to be a lot of driving back and forth doing it this way.
Oh good, you’re coming back to Illinois! We really need the rain! So I mentioned “blue acres” making a play at Greenacres but also “Blue Angel Ranch” isn’t bad. Oh, and your discussion about chickens, they are a lot of work, and really the travel! We have had many of them. Also, you don’t want a rooster, but only, female (hens).
Ok Eric, I'll play devil's advocate here. You're making all these plans (that's really great) but what happens if the closure is delayed or doesn't go through? If you load all your stuff in the shed it will be so much harder for the movers to get the shed to your property and placed. It might damage the floors or you might have to empty everything out before they can move it. What a bummer, having to move everything two or three times. Been there, done that! I know you want to have all your stuff in one place but give yourself some time to get ready for the stuff before going to Illinois pick it up. I'm just thinking about how much stress you'll be under if things don't go well. Give yourself a little time, take one step at a time and you'll get there. Good luck putting it all together.
Great little "off grid'', shed to house. I would put a 4 or 6 ft movable porch just outside the front door! perfect for enjoying sunrise or sunsets, with the kitties on your lap. .
You've got a million things on your mind right now but have you considered building a foundation for your blue bird? Not sure if you are allowed to but a cinder block foundation could give you a basement. The way it was easily moved around made me think of lowering it onto bricks. Something to think about.
Trucks are 13'6" amazing how some Walmart try to keep us out from getting groceries, supplies and rest. They wouldn't have anything to stock their store without trucks. most items require 10 or more truck transports before they hit the shelf for you to buy.
So I wonder since this is the biggest size structure you can place on a property without a permit.....could you place two of these and make a "double wide" of sorts???
I absolutely love the color. You and Kevin are such kind hearted people. it's great to see good friends having good times and helping each other out. Safe travels.
I really like everything you do and have been following you for years. I do have one suggestion though. You mentioned "bungying" in your TV to hold the boxes back. That statement made me nervous because if your load shifts then it will push out stretching the bungy cords more and more thus perhaps breaking. I would suggest a dynamic rope or webbing, "something that does not stretch at all". I would hate to see the video of you explaining why your large screen tv broke loose using bungy cords.
Eric, what I love about you is that you always have a great smile (well, most of the time)! You just experience life to its fullest, and it's always fun watching what you're up to!
Eric! I'm so excited to see what you will be doing to the tiny blue house/shedd. I'm thinking about doing this and just an idea here......put a deck in front of that door big enough to sit and put your hot tub on. 💡Stay safe on the road.
I watched the the delivery on Kevins blog yesterday. I started watching him when you were talking about him when he was fighting cancer. You and Kevin two of my favorite people to watch.
Love love love this..am so excited for you...and I think you chose a FABULOUs Local.... The tiny home is amazing..cant wait to see how you set it up...
Why not make one big trip rent a big u haul truck and put everything in it instead of making multiple trips in the RV sounds like fun ps your friends are very wonderful group of people 👍🥳🥰🎉🎊🌟✨
Sounds like you have a plan. I'm sure you already know this but friendly reminder doesn't hurt. Instead of using boxes you might want to consider using storage totes to keep mice, spiders, scorpions & snakes out of your stuff and don't leave your cushions for long or you might have some new unwanted roommates the mice will build nests in them. 🐀🐭🕷🦂🐍😱 Btw love the new Blue house.
I am exited for you, and as well as for us… becouse there are some great adventures to come with the new land and all… and we got to watch it all 😃🤙🏻👍🏻
Yep, saw the arrow late August on a road trip with my daughter taking her to school. I noticed only one arrow as we drove by on the highway. Didn't see the other arrow on the ground.
Why would they put it up right against the tree"s shrub's.Ugh not good for wood
what about the arcade games??

@@ragnarlothbrook1245 absolutely agree with you. Nobody sees all these impulsive decisions as a sign of a deeper problem.
I think you might need 3 of those sheds for all your stuff.
hi eric just wondering what do you plan to do with all your pinball machines, or have you allready sold them.
Be careful with your collection Eric you know how destructive those critters are in Arizona. A pack rat could eat thru your entire collection in a day.
Extreme heat and cold isn't going to do it any good either.
Tractors and trailers are usually 13'6" 30 year retired truck driver here.
I'm so glad you'll be an Arizonian lol. I live in Apache Junction. I've been watching your videos for about 5 or more yrs. Congrats on your new place and tiny house. One of my favorite shows is Tiny House Nation. I live in a park model b4 my RV. So ya! I like tiny homes

So no air or wetness can get in and ruin your product make it smell. All you guys think about these things friend.
Will need really good insulation & maybe a dehumidifier that runs on solar? Otherwise, get a couple of the RV bucket style drying agents.
I can see a cat tower in the house in the future. 😽😽
Or a cat walk around the room
IMO ONLY - Collectables should be kept in a climate controlled environment. Extreme cold and heat will make some things brittle. I thought that's one of the reasons that you rented the shop in Illinois?
From Huntington Beach California wow love the tiny house and I did subscribe to their channel💕👍🏡
The Blue House, looks very very cool 😎 Eric 😊😎👍
What a blessing that you have friends to help.. Amen what a blessing. Congrats on. Your home. Drive safe
The idea of using the 75 inch tv as a brace for boxes behind it will damage the tv screen. Please go get a thin plywood board cut to the same size of the tv or bigger as a backing to the tv to protect the tv from pressure that can damage the screen as they did not build those tv's to allow anything to be against the plastic back or front!!!
Do the people who're going to move the tiny house know it's going to be full? is there a weight limit on how much they can move?
They moved Kevin's Purple Tiny house completely BUILT and full from New Mexico - they can move anything. Even the much larger 16x40ft versions - but it costs more and needs more oversized personel.

Eric you have too much stuff! You need to start selling so you won’t have so much to worry about!

Good deal! Wire it, insulate and set it for solar or a big generator. It’ll do, get another one on your property to put your “stuff” in.👍
I think Eric will have to ind out soon things do not make you happy, work on relationships and having someone in your life.
Can't wait to hear your future travel plans. Enjoyed this video. ☮
Dang it Eric! 😆 Missed you again, I'm in show low taken care of my mom's estate, was hoping to run into you maybe buy you lunch, I'll be heading back to Indiana Tuesday Evening maybe I'll catch you somewhere on the road.. I'll meet you one day dang it! Lol
I had a cat once who liked to ride behind my neck when I was driving.
Were you ever able to get the legal issues resolved about your trailer?
You can easily make Amarillo by morning little Man. 👍👊😎
What about the video game machines? Don't overload that RV! You'll regret it😵💫
THAT was quick! Land bought and tiny shed arrived. WoW
👏👏 ERIC, TARA, AND 0PIE.
I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU. IT'S AWESOME TO HAVE , YOUR FRIENDS AS NEIGHBORS.
💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘.
ALSO ALL THE NOMADS, NEED A BASE CAMP. IN THE TIME WE ARE GOING THOUGHT. 💯💯💯
Ditch the stuff Eric, it's owning you
Sweet move. 💥 boom. Green light GO.. Looking forward to the big move.
It's always something new with you and Kevin, a couple of fiddle-foots. Good update.
We had a Horney toad under our porch when my son was little! He’s your age now Eric! We told him it was a baby dinosaur! He was so excited! LOL! 😂
Oh my goodness that's too cute
Good friends always make a place special. Safe travels. Know everything in due course will happen.
Have you ever thought about just getting rid of stuff?
Good for you Eric! My opinion, it's best to have friends as neighbors for support in good and bad times. And a great bunch of friends you have. Very blessed. Good move!
Maggie, you said it
Very cool Eric...... Glad for you!
Food for thought..... And I'm sure you have some kind of plan BUT you might take it easy on what you put in there before you move it to your new land, because with everything you talking about putting in there I'm afraid it will be way too heavy to move to your new location.

That’s quite the smile you have on your face!
Congrats and best wishes
It's not mandatory that you do everything the hard way Eric! 👀
Safe Travels Eric Tara n Opie 🙏🏻👍🏻
Nobody can ever confuse you with a minimalist. Dude you have ALOT of stuff!
What about the video games ! 🙃
And he's paying to store things that aren't even able to be enjoyed, because they're just in storage. Sell it all! Go minimalist, and be free from stuff.
I think that he will need another shed-turned-house just for his video game consoles.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he creates an arcade themed area from a shed or container.
He might make his area fell like a lil resort eventually 😍
@@Iris-zq5mq He could charge a $1.00 to play a game. 😆

Semi's are 13'6" not 14'2"
I have the biggest crush on RV Rebel Girl but I'm to shy to tell her,,
you even have me excited for you!
Height limits on US highways is 13'6 unless oversize permits are pulled.
This channel has went off the deep end.
Or you could fly back like when you went and got tater tot rent a U-Haul load everything out hook Black Betty trailer up and make a single trip
always remember...less is always more~
What aew you going to do about all your pinball games
Your happiness is showing. Good for you... I hope you have a smooth uneventful move 😊
Casa de Smurf 😆👀😳
Why didn't you get a Blue one?

Is this where Erics going to store collectable smurf"s LOL
Things don’t make you happy, people do. Get rid of your stuff, and be around people.
👍 🌭 🤛 YOU ~ ROCK ~ STEADY ! !

I hope to raise the land up with rock, and then put on cinder blocks like Kevin did, yes. And then put a skirt on it for winter insulation.
@@nomadicfanatic I 💙 the Little House of Blues (Little Blue, for short!) 🎸🎶😎✌️😽
Have a safe trip, always good to be close to good friends.😊
LOVE that color blue!

Eric, be careful putting too much weight up high. It’s easy to tip over. I’ve done that. Not fun.

Great going. Luv you're content. Looking forward to more videos and stories.
Love love love this..am so excited for you...and I think you chose a FABULOUs Local.... The tiny home is amazing..cant wait to see how you set it up...
We just met at your shop in East Alton. My full name is Charles Thomas Hurst. They call me Tom. Get ahold of me.
Trucks are 13’6” max height besides over sized loads
now if we could get Opie to share the driving...but you know , he's a cat...
Please tell me you’re going to have an arcade on the property!!!!
Love the Han Solo fridge
Keep in mind that vehicles have weight limits as well as tires. Don't get too much weight in that RV. Tires can blow out.
Why not make one big trip rent a big u haul truck and put everything in it instead of making multiple trips in the RV sounds like fun ps your friends are very wonderful group of people 👍🥳🥰🎉🎊🌟✨
When you are around the "tiny house", you need to wear the same shirt you have on today, as it matches the shed (tiny house).
13'6 is the normal max height without a permit. My fiver is 12'6
some exciting stuff! Great deal on the Shed (Tiny House)
What's gonna happen to the arcade?
Time for new owners of my big games.
How many people are there wow full house
I got that same brand after a lotta research. I loved my little storage building with the little flower boxes under the windows.
Sounds like you have a plan. I'm sure you already know this but friendly reminder doesn't hurt. Instead of using boxes you might want to consider using storage totes to keep mice, spiders, scorpions & snakes out of your stuff and don't leave your cushions for long or you might have some new unwanted roommates the mice will build nests in them. 🐀🐭🕷🦂🐍😱
Btw love the new Blue house.
Love the Buc-ee's hat! You're making progress.
This is GREAT Eric! But I’m gonna miss you in Quartzsite
Want to hear about your travel plans! You're one busy boy, that's for sure!!
