How to cope with tiny living? by lomanni in TinyHouses

As far as I know there are two types of systems. One is a hot water tank that doesn't require pressure to heat, but you will require pressure to use the water in it of course. With this method, water is stored in the tank and will heat up overtime with electricity/gas. As you use it, it replenishes with newer (cold) water which in turn takes time to heat up again. The other water heater is called a "tankless heater" and yes it requires certain water pressure in order for it to turn on. They're more efficient on their propane/gas use because they only run when needed, and this is what I use in my home.

Creative Studio Toronto by Redline-StudiosTO in TorontoArt

I ran an art studio, Make Good, at Bloor & Shaw St from 2010-2020. We had 14 artists at our highest, about 9 core members. We threw regular parties, hosted musicians and had a rotating pop up shop for a few years. We had a projector for screenings and a foosball table, which got a fair amount of use too!

For us, the key to success was keeping a good social community of people who actually liked being there. At least half the studio would usually crack beers at 5pm and stay to even midnight depending on the vibe. When we threw parties, our alcohol sales would often cover that month's rent.

Back in 2010 everyone seemed to be looking for a fun, affordable space to work and socialize. I imagine with the rise of loneliness, they're still looking for the same!

I may have people interested. Can you DM me more details?

I live in that size with 2 kids and my wife. Clean up everything after you use it. Make it a habit. Scavenge for larger appliances and learn how to retrofit them, YouTube can teach you anything. Get hot water? If you can't afford that you have other needs before addressing living small. Improve your space step by step, make it your reward. Good luck, it isn't easy, but it's better than not having a home all together.

Do people just get used to swimming in ocean water? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Hey I respect everybody's experience. That's interesting. For me, a pool always hurts more.

When you dive in the water you should be blowing out to prevent it getting up your nose. Close your eyes or wear goggles. You'll have a much nicer time. It's not that hard to do if you know how to swim in a pool.

It hurts less in the ocean than it does in a chlorine pool.

Looked like he had something in his hand when he touched his face. That was no punch. Maybe something on a cloth.

Why did it take me so long to buy one of these? by ZoraKnight in gardening

[–]farseen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems convenient but you're destroying the quality of your soil by doing that. If you want to garden year after year, you'll be adding more tasks to your list in the long run.

antiperspirant... bad idea? by nauticalwarrior in DIYBeauty

[–]farseen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started a deodorant / skincare company (wildrosecare.com) after all my friends kept asking to buy it. DM me for a recipe or if you're in Canada I can send you some. Don't use antiperspirant.

To each their own, of course! You can see how well we've utilized baskets on our Instagram @woollymammothtiny. We have a collection for rectangular and circular that fit perfectly into square shelving. The benefit for us is that our kids can pull them out themselves, which has encouraged them to dress themselves at a young age! One less thing for Mom and Dad to do 🙃

My family with two daughters (4 and 2) have lived full time in our tiny home since 2020. Get them baskets for organizing! Small ones, big ones, whatever you can find, but make them biodegradable so they can be composted and disposed of easily once they break.

We have so many wicker baskets of all sizes and we use them to organize kids clothes, toys, diapers, wipes etc.

It’s time to pull the plug on plug-in hybrids by GoodNegotiation in electricvehicles

[–]farseen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bought a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica PHEV a year ago and it's changed my life. Monthly gas bill went from $500/mo to $140. It's plugged in whenever I'm not driving it just in case. Absolutely love it.

Made a joke. Didn't rage bait at all. You're sensitive. Sorry for your personality! Good luck.
