    You can now buy shipping Container 'Tiny Homes' On Amazon

    Cool business plan. Kinda pricey but for those that can afford it then great. Having been a truck driver for quite a few years my only reservation about using a shipping container is... what has been shipped in that container before it becomes your home? Lots of toxic stuff gets shipped in...

    Tiny Korean camper

    Here is a tiny Korean camper.  Yes, Lucy the presenter is speaking in Korean but there are English subs underneath so you can understand what she is saying.  First off, I'm sure this camper will never be available in the US, mostly because of the price.  22,500,000 Won converts to almost $22k...

    Super compact camper from Australia, NOT!!!

    Oh those crazy Australians.  They really know how to make the most out of the smallest of space.  And to think, he only paid $4000 AUD for this which is about $3000 US depending on the conversion at the time. Note: This is a 8:35 minute long video of a bus conversion out of Australia so don't...

    Old satellite dish uses

    While looking for a streaming site plugin I found this video.  4 different uses for an old satellite dish.  Thought it was interesting so I figured I'd share it here. Note:  This is an 8:47 minute long video that shows different uses for satellite dishes.  The last 40 or so seconds is more...

    Vintage Station Wagon Living Article

    I escaped Ohio at an early age.  Had previously left only to return a short time later.  Finally I had enough and packed my tent and old boy scout backpack and strapped it along with my fishing gear to the back bar of my motorcycle and headed out.  Off to North Carolina and more points south...

    Bathroom in Minivan

    Well that's pretty cool. I wonder if he could take the upper half of that front seat out and just leave the part you sit on to keep the check engine light off.

    I found a cot that will work for my small space

    Nice looking cot and hope it works for you. I could never sleep in it since I'm a belly sleeper and I flip and flop all night. I'd end up on the floor.

    Time for a new (used) laptop

    This Dell I'm using now was dead dead... Replaced the HD and bought a windows 8 install disc. It bounced around in my truck for about 5 years prior to my retiring. Over those years I've replaced the screen, keyboard, screen bezel and cover with a cool surfing thing. Upgraded the memory and...

    DIY Pop Up Yurt

    That one in the video was pretty cool.  I doubt very seriously if it would stand up to the desert winds though.  I think if I was going to invest money into something that is a temporary thing until I could get enough for the vehicle of my dreams, I'd go with a cheap TT or popup camper.  They...

    Time for a new (used) laptop

    How did the building wiring kill the laptop? Are you sure the brick isn't dead?
