Valuable resources...

I have a few things to catch you up on,so I think I will just pop up a few quick posts from my phone over the next few days.
Also can't for the life of me transfer photos from this phone to any other device...so if I have cell phone pic I shall cell phone blog he..he..he really I'm not as un-techy as I seem!!

Anyway...So this past Sunday,my partner and I decided to hit the RV & Cottage Life show.It was worth the price of $10 each to get in..I believe we spent 3-4hrs there.

Slightly unimpressed looking pic of my partner to follow.He's actually having way more fun than it looks like...once we got through all the vendors and he got to look at the toys that is....

Well as tired as I was at the end of the day I went from having no idea what we were doing to having no idea what we're doing but with a whack of business cards!

To sum it up,I talked to anyone that I thought could help us.
That includes 3 guys on insulation,5 guys about solar power,one lady and one man about water filtration.We got info on generators,wood stoves,pellet stoves,energy tests..and a business card from a lady that will drive to you and bath your dog in her van.So if our dog happens to get skunked while we are bus living, I don't have to bring him into our tiny living space and gag us all out.This is a fab thing!

Anyway,I found some people I liked,people I didn't, some that couldn't be bothered to waste time on our small project and some were all but rude.
The important thing is I found a few businesses that I would consider driving our bus to (when we have one) so that they can do work for us...and I mean drive a few hours to get to as opposed to using others in the area.
They were that great.

So whether we decide to do things ourselves or pay someone to help us,I have a well labeled stack of cards in my binder that will tell me exactly who I need to call..and some to remind me who to avoid.

So if you are thinking bus conversion or tiny house..get thyself to an RV show.Some of the swag is not bad either!

The incredibly amazing world of phone apps!!!

So I have been checking out phone apps to see if there are any that can help me simplify and organize in the days leading up to our Bus purchase.

Posting quick,on the go blog entries from my phone sounds like my kinda fun,so this is "test" entry number one!

I had planned on doing a more in depth review on the apps I found intriguing, but maybe I will give you a quick rundown in this post and then come back to break it down which app I preferred in each category. Sound like a plan?K..here we go.

Apps that I plan to try out and decide which ones help, which ones eat up phone storage space and which ones just don't get used.

*Document scanning apps
Scan recipes,paperwork, and various odds and ends to reduce paper clutter

*Loyalty card apps
Scan all your points cards for stores etc and get rid of the physical wallet clutter

* "Stuff" and "Things" apps
Record a list of items like books,movies,or anything you want really. Helps to avoid buying something you already have,remind you what's needed or keep track for selling/purging items

*Grocery apps
Make lists,check flyers,check recipes etc.
I have one of these apps and I do really like it,but it doesn't actually do all the things it claims to sooo....

There are also multiple apps for Organization, Digitally storing items right down to your kids artwork,Arranging your floor plans! Setting up your cleaning schedule and sharing it with your partner,and last but not least,ones to help you plan out goals and reach them.

I will let you know as I try them out and which ones that I find live up to their claims.
