    plunger style manual clothes washer

    A friend had the idea to use a janitorial mop bucket coupled with the plunger. Using the part you squeeze the water out to wring out the clothes. Can use the bucket for other uses. I like the idea but haven't tried it yet. Wringing out a pair of jeans is not for the faint of heart or weak of...

    1986 Chevy Camper Van/ Motor Home

They make it dark and cozy when closed and keep in the heat. I have a navy sleeping bag on bed and lots of wood on floor, walls, cupboards. It feels like my...

    Healing

    I am finding I need more time in solitude, be it doing something constructive or simply regrouping myself. I am looking at alone time in my van as recharging my batteries so when I am around people I can enjoy them and the time together. Honestly alone is so comfortable and healing for me I...

    Crocheting blankets

    Have you ever seen Space Bags? They are available in alot of sizes and you can squeeze out most all the air and seal. The result is something much smaller than the original item that stays dry and clean. When you open them up the material puffs right back up. :)
