    Women's Forum: Question for the crafty artsy type

    That is indeed a good rule to live by. &nbsp;"One in, one out". &nbsp;I like it. <br><br>After spending so much money on a craft it seems like such a waste to let it go. &nbsp;But then it's nice to pass it along to those who will enjoy the materials and brighten their day or help out a charity...

    Women's Forum: Question for the crafty artsy type

    I am in the middle of downsizing my stuff to head out on the road again. &nbsp;My parent's luckily have two rooms in the basement that I have either stored or lived in between my travels for years now. &nbsp;When I leave it usually is with just a suitcase in hand and all the other things I can...

    Stealthing in the evening (in a van)

    Yes, I have just hung out in parking lot's in the evenings. &nbsp;Usually in front of Home Depot where I get free wifi. &nbsp;I make sure to park somewhere away from the heavy traffic area of the parking lot. &nbsp;Of course, this is only good until it heats up but then it will be lighter longer...

    Heating-Little Buddy

    Thanks for the information. &nbsp;That's good to know. &nbsp;So if I kept one of the back windows popped out in my minivan would that be enough? &nbsp;I have a dodge caravan. &nbsp;The window doesn't open that much but it would allow air flow.<br><br><br>

    Heating-Little Buddy

    I had a look at the little buddy heater and in the description it says for use, outdoors only. &nbsp;Is it safe for inside the van?

    Ready to put in Solar

    Thanks for your replies. I am going to get my dad to help who is knowledgeable with wiring electricity. He just has never installed solar. He has plenty of tools. He is pretty good knowing about voltage and the lingo that is used that makes me scratch my head. I just need to figure out what...

    Ready to put in Solar

    Alright I am back. I decided to save money instead of going ahead with my low budget for solar. I have a minivan and still would like to run all the things I described in my initial post without a generator using solar power. Thanks all to who commented the first time. If you have...

    Ready to put in Solar

    I guess I either will wait till I can afford to put in a system where I can power the things I want or decide to make a compromise of not having some of the things I want. &nbsp;<br /><br />I know for sure I don't want a generator. &nbsp;It's not just that it will cost gas later on after the...

    Ready to put in Solar

    I have been using a jumper starter battery and it's been okay for now for powering a fan but I want something that is going to be a more permanent solution for power. &nbsp;<br /><br />I want to do solar but am confused on how to know how much I need in watts or amps. &nbsp;First my budget is...

    Photo scanning as an income

    Sounds expensive for the mailing and I don't think people would be likely to trust someone over the net with their photos. &nbsp;I think these are all good ideas but either you need to be a whiz at SEO and marketing to get noticed online or be stationary to get flyers out and your service...

    Hindrance or a Benefit to Vandwelling

    Ever thought of using febreeze to take care of the smell? &nbsp;It does seem a bit much the number of times she get's a bath. &nbsp;Lighting a candle might do it too. &nbsp;I can't smell at all so I'm really not the best to say. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" border="0"...

    Hindrance or a Benefit to Vandwelling

    Thanks Bri, SoulRaven and Nuttcaze for your responses. &nbsp;I agree that having a pet is a huge responsibility and that is why I will be thinking it over for a long while. In the meantime I will do like you said Bri and be conscious of what it would be like with a dog and without which was what...

    Hindrance or a Benefit to Vandwelling

    Hi Everyone,<br /><br />I am thinking about the future and how it will look being a vandweller. &nbsp;I am enjoying the lifestyle and if I could figure out the making money on the road I know this would be the best fit for me. &nbsp;I'm really living each day not just working for the weekend...
