Alice in Detroit, looking across the river at Canada
Happy Home made of Bottles, Michigan.
Pack light. Space is in high demand with short supply. Less is more. Be honest: do you really need that? How many people will you really be serving coffee to at one time? Are you going to read all those books?
I have 2 nine inch wide, twelve inch deep kitchen drawers. Even so, I managed to reduce my kitchen utensils to one drawer (somehow, I've been traveling with THREE wooden spoons) and made the other a junk drawer. I dispose junk drawers, but it's a convenient place for lighters (for stove), ear plugs (when sleeping at truck stops, light tonight), pens and pencils, scissors, tape (I have painters tape in there, which sounds weird, but I have already used it once), and so on. I have a separate tool container, so absolutely no tools. That would be lazy. I have another "tool" box with even more pencils, watercolors, brushes, sharper scissors, rulers and what-all. Sometimes I use this stuff but mostly not. But if I don't have it, I want it and just re-buy it.
I still see I have a vegetable peeler/apple corer. It's small, and has many uses, but I still haven't used one in years. Why is it in my trailer?
Bonus advice: if you see cheap gas, pull off and buy it. Even if you only get a little, in the long run, you'll save money. And you might see or meet some one/thing weird.
