The EPU manifests the idea of living with less, trading stuff that enables you to a lot of things, for time. Mobility enables you to live closer to were you work at the moment, spending less time commuting. Cheaper and easier to maintain lets you work less to earn the money O.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00813493027866797701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622772963037648430.post-3819212214275019922007-11-10T14:29:00.000-05:002007-11-10T14:29:00.000-05:00I like LAGOM houses, not too small and not to big....I like LAGOM houses, not too small and not to big. I need to fit husband, two kids, two cats, a workshop, a cozy kitchen with cooking gadgets, a fireplace, a guest room, four computers and a printer, a bathroom, clothes and shoes (I can't believe how many shoes a family needs), jackets, old photos, a great stove, tools, etc etc... <BR/><BR/>There is a famous book about living in small space LShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135583903768049008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622772963037648430.post-81214732959100263342007-11-10T09:54:00.000-05:002007-11-10T09:54:00.000-05:00Caravans can be good, but are mainly built for tr...Caravans can be good, but are mainly built for traveling, not living. I find several problems with caravans that, for example, the EPU solves. First; "Nice caravan". I never encountered a nicely built caravan (I'm talking about the european variety, don't know much about others). Made for light weight, everything feels cheap but they are still very expensive. Plastic windows that scratch easily,O.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00813493027866797701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622772963037648430.post-13447384834282286542007-11-10T07:08:00.000-05:002007-11-10T07:08:00.000-05:00I think a nice caravan will do the same, only that...I think a nice caravan will do the same, only that you can change your view from time to time and by season. If you need storage, maybe just rent one. Probably cheapest to find a farmer somewhere who has a large farmshed or something.<BR/><BR/>I think I could live like this for a while, but I like the spacious living too.<BR/><BR/>EHEHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00275671822465334645noreply@blogger.com
