I want to go home where it's warm, but I'm staying in the Bay Area for 2 extra weeks. Shipping plans got munged at the last minute & I had to stay to fix em.
As It turns out... I can scavenge most of my 'house' off of Craiglist for 1/10 the price of buying things in Hawaii! Hot Damn! So far I've found a propane stove, 2 huge solar hot water collectors, 5 gigantic aluminum windows, a flat panel monitor, water purifier and 15 solar lights. All for super cheap or free. Egads I love SF Craigslist. Total savings so far is $3000.
Still searching for Mig Welder, Plasma Cutter, generator, Inverter, Solar Charge Controller, Solar Panels, clawfoot tub, dead water heaters, collapsable above ground pool, pvc & copper pipe & fittings, manual bilge pump, exterior doors, heavy duty hinges, barn door sliding hardware & tracks, kitchen sink w/faucet & kitchen cabinets. Woo, isn't my life thrilling? hee hee. I'm probably going to prefab a lot of my steel 'thingies' for the container here, so all I have to do is cut holes & weld stuff on when I get home. Should save a lot of time & energy since I have all the metalworking experts on hand in Berkeley.
wish me luck! and yes, I'm coming to visit folks I promised to visit. Things just got a little hectic last week :)
