but I suppose this would do as well…
Ideal for home or office, this French press coffeemaker doubles as an insulated thermos so coffee stays hot and fresh for up to two hours. The pot holds 34 ounces (1 liter), nearly seven 5-ounce cups, and can be used for brewing tea as well as coffee. It’s made of stainless steel polished to a mirror-finish, has a large, comfortable handle, and is dishwasher-safe. The lid seals in heat remarkably well and turns to prevent heat from escaping through the spout between pours. The pot stands 8-1/2 inches high, including the plunger top. –Fred Brack

Best of both worlds…
I’ve decided to build a tiny home somewhere and also have a trailer.
So, in preparation, here are the lightweight plates I want for the trailer…
Bamako by Corelle…I just want the plates though. I wouldn’t use the cups…and may not use the bowls.
How to move
Part of my patented “How to!” series.
(Kidding. Mostly)
What with all the thoughts of Tumbleweed Tiny homes and trailers and possibly moving to a different neighborhood when things reach ‘Tilt’ here… I have thought a lot about how I move.
I used to bribe a ton of friends to drive over to whatever apartment I was in during college (and I moved all the time in Austin, both my grandmothers gave me my own page in their books.) and load up my packed stuff in their cars/trucks and then drive en masse to my new place. They would unload their car once and then come in to eat pizza that I bought.
I can’t do that anymore since I have actual furniture and frankly, I won’t do that to my friends anymore since I can actually afford to rent a truck and mover monkeys now.
Now, the actual mechanics of moving are out of the way and the strategy of moving is what I consider.
Now, I get into my new place, measure, measure, measure, sum up, measure and then put what I think will be perfect into its spot and then cast a gimlet eye on what won’t fit perfectly (or at all) and give heavy thought toward getting rid of it.
A mutable feast.
I’ve slimmed down some of my stuff, but my house is still somewhat overflowing… and frankly I don’t know that this apartment is any bigger than the tiny house, but the lovely thing about building a tiny house is that I can badger some architect (or uncle of mine) to help me customize the hell out of the house.
Should be fun.
The trailer?
Well, that’s another matter. I think that will be my tiny laptop, several large capacity hard drives, cameras of various sorts, my bedding and favorite clothes.
Viva life on the road!
more trailer fodder
candeloo LED rechargeable lamps orange/fuchsia
Ooh. I could plug these in to charge during the day (while the solar panels are charging the bank of marine batteries I will have in the trailer) and have them glowing at night while I write on my computer and listen to my iPod.
=;)
When do I win the lotto again?
