Now, that's what I call downsizing

Man converts dumpster into home.

I thought it was going to be a big dumpster, not a tiny one!

The Japanese are overnighting in coffin-sized stacked "hotel rooms", so why not live in a parking lot sized dumpster?

(Actually, in the fantasies that I use to entertain myself when I want to reassure myself that it won't happen, I wonder to myself just how small I could go. The answer is: nothing less than a full-sized RV with all the amenities that I can drive to anywhere and hire someone to do my hookups.)

Deborah .... " Cozy", not "tiny", Swampier.

Deborah .... We'll have to keep this as a consideration for the additions to our new place in Texas. Richard insists on a man cave, so.....

We plan to be settled by Thanksgiving. Hopefully. Once we are, y'all are invited! It's 40 miles west of San Antonio on the 90 near the little town of Hindi. If you like to fish, we've got a spring fed creek. Definitely gun friendly. Y'all come!

Fishing with guns! Love it! Saw that in a move once.....*ahem*

From professional experience, there are certain countries which shall remain unnamed that shipping companies refuse to service. People there steal the shipping containers to live in.

Why did he bother with all that?
Adding wheels for mobility, WTHeck?
Why not just buy a camper van, like thousands have done already?
I don't get it. I never get it.

Deborah and Richard are retreating from California? Who will be next VDH? I'll stay here, for what it's worth, namely a Snickers Bar, 'til they catch me idling my Freightliner for 6 minutes thus choking killer whales and raising snow levels, which would be bad, or maybe good, I've lost count.

That sounds great Deborah, but don't you mean Hondo?

Always loved that word, Hondo.

SwampWoman said...

Mmmmmmm. Snickers bar....

Deborah .... Thanks, Bruce. I didn't catch my phone's spell check insisting it must be "Hindi" not Hondo.

There is a sign signifying you've entered Hondo. It reads, "You are in God's country so don't drive like hell through it."

Jonah, with the money you would save by leaving California you could buy more Snicker Bars than you could probably eat. But since you're holding out, please leave the whales alone, and go idle in Sickramento.

If VDH left CA what would he have to complain about? He'd lose the greater part of his income.

Bear in mind that the guy is an artist, so there's probably more than a little bit of self promotion going on here.
