    I LOVE Lowes!

    All retailers and those who pay minimum wage short their employees of a full 40 hours, so they do not have to pay more in insurance and benefits. All. I love lowes too - I always shop there as opposed to other hardware stores.

    Totoro (my box van)

    Well - it begins! I have bought the tent I will live in while saving money for my truck! I am going to set it up the third week of June, and move in July 31st or earlier. I will be living with my dog and cat, showering and keeping clean at the gym, and cooking out. I really can't wait to live...

    Insulation: Creating Dead Air

    I've been reading about insulation, and the word is that dead air does not transfer temperatures. So on top of having foam insulation, I could create dead air space to increase the insulation value, right? My project is for insulating my box truck. What if I took one piece of foam, applied two...

    OK, tough one. What phone do you like?

    iPhone. Computer and phone all in one. Buy one outright, set up a cheap (2.99) VoIP Skype, and pay for a mobile hotspot from the company of your choice. Everything taken care of at once.

    Afraid of judgement?

    Why not avoid worrying about what you think people think you should do? Those thoughts are all internal, and not created by others. It is possibly your inner self telling you what you should do. Do not push these thoughts onto others - and then you will be truly unfraid of judgement. My...

    Afraid of judgement?

    I do not believe calling something weird is a judgement. Calling something weird is simply saying "it doesn't fit in with the norm". That is the meaning of weird. While I understand your intent and rationale for dying your hair and watching reactions, it is weird (above definition). Why call...

    Camping with a pressure cooker

    I find the "foreigner look" phrase offensive. What looks foreign in America? Geez. No one in my community is looking at owning a pressure cooker as the least bit suspicious.

    Camping with a pressure cooker

    Seriously, offroad? Why aren't people quiet about the fact that they own guns (50 billion mass shootings) or cargo vans (bombings)? That is ridiculous to suspect your neighbor of building a bomb just because they own a pressure cooker. /facepalm To the rest: thank you for this post, I will...

    I plan to cook indoors. The kitchen is right in front of the garage, behind the wardrobe doors. Everything will be custom built. The cooking will be done with appliances that can be put away [rice cooker/steamer, zojirushi indoor grill, westbend toaster/egg cooker, one burner camping stove...
