Well, Cricket is advertising $30/month unlimited talk, or $45/month
unlimited everything.

http://www.mycricket.com/

I've thought about it myself, but would need to know what network they are
on, and what their sharing agreements are. If they are GSM and share with
ATT/T-Mobile, then that's a pretty good deal. IF they have good signal
strength at your house, that is. -Dave

Cricket uses CDMA and their unlimited plan only covers use in the few
markets they serve:

http://www.mycricket.com/cricketcoveragemaps/area?hocode=510#nationalmap

From their website you need to kick in more if you are outside those areas.

I think the point in this small home movement is to set down some roots
and as you "save" money you add on.
Hint' get a building permit for the minimum sq. footage and have
additions appear.
Hopefully made of recycled materials and stuff you got "On Sale"

I first saw this in an "alternative living" article in Mother Earth
News:

http://hometown.aol.com/lsloanpdx/lsloanpdx/index.html

During my single years after my divorce, I used to daydream about
building a similar houseboat and living on it. I met the guy who
originally built and lived on it. I even ordered the set of plans
from MEN. Still looks interesting to me as a retirement project.

I think it may have been TMEN that also had an article of a couple in
La. that built a house on a used barge. Solved any flooding issues
for them in the bayous.

The small house idea is common to a lot of people. Google "Heather's
house," or look in the Tennessee forum on city-data.com to see the
thread on the non-electric house in McMinnville Co..

24' x 24' seems to be a good size.

In tough times consumers tend to cut back...so where are you cutting
back, reprioritizing resources, whatever to make that dollar go
farther?

I am also posting this in the metal and wood working groups to hear
how those who pursue the hobby are allotting their resources.

Thanks

I'm spreading the wealth around. Bought new tires and a 32" LCD TV for
the 5th wheel. Ordered a Grizzly G0555 bandsaw on sale for $379.
Stimulating the economy as best I can.

I'm not cutting back. Instead I'm working to help people cut forward.

It /does/ take a bit of thinking about... :)

Doing less, but still doing everything as in the past. The price of gas and
heating oil is costing me about $300 a month over last year. I wanted to
build some new end tables, but they are pushed back a bit; instead I'm
making a couple of picture frames. There are a couple of other small
projects that I want to do cabinet, shelves) that can be done with pine
boards, not cherry.

All the money saving articles tell you to eat at home instead of at a
restaurant. OK, it is cheaper but stopping that once a week meal can put
the restaurant and all its employees out of business. I may skip the wine
or cocktail, but still order a normal meal. At home I may buy a chicken
instead of a rib roast. I skipped lobster at $10.99 and now it is on sale
at $3.99. Good bourbon is still about the same price though. I should
stock up.

Due to extreme spam originating from Google Groups, and their inattention
to spammers, I and many others block all articles originating
from Google Groups. If you want your postings to be seen by
more readers you will need to find a different means of

Only place we've cut back is fuel . The wife has a camper to stay in
during the week , since she teacches 45+ miles from where we live .
I haven't really cut back anywhere . In fact , I'm moving forward with my
plans to build a foundry to cast aluminum (and maybe bronze/brass later) ,
just finished pouring the hot face in my five gallon furnace . Firin' this
bad boy with a burner built similar to the Reil burners - based on his ,
actually .
Truth is , my wife is one verry verry savvy lady , has been doing a lot of
this "new" frugal stuff for years . She could WRITE those magazine articles

If you are into solar What should a 5.96 KW AC system cost . 30 panels (
sunpower SPR-225-BLK-U) one inverter ( sunpower SPR-7000m) We just
started looking into Solar because of high electric cost in our area (
Pacific Gas & Electric) Just curious if you would have any Idea.

Letting some magazine subscriptions expire without renewing.
Making Christmas (and birthday) presents by hand instead of buying
(needlework)
Cutting out a lot of 'extra' comfort food purchases.
Hanging tarps/curtains over doorways to keep heat in the most lived in
areas/avoiding drafts.
Getting more from the 'day old' racks of produce. (Makes good soup - and
salads if used immediately).
Making some breads from scratch instead of purchasing.
Cancelling book club memberships (too tempting to buy).

All little things - but they add up.

[responding from rec.woodworking]

I don't know. I stay pretty focused on thermal solar (heating, cooling,
and pumping), rather than photovoltaic. A good place to check would be
on news:alt.solar.photovoltaic where there are some folks in PG&E territory.

My accumulation of useful info from ASPV went down the drain with a
Windows/ME crash on my previous computer.
