Green Living TODO List
|~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~|
Purchases
|~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~|
* Solar Panels and Battery Bank
> Looking at about $500-$600 minimum
> Start out with some cheap USB solar
power banks, probably from Amazon,
just to get some kit started.
* Salad Spinner Washing Machine
> About $15-$20 USD
> Yes, this is a thing, and useful
for tiny homes, van living, and
camper living.
* Raspberry Pi 400 (or similar)
> RPi400 is $100 USD for full kit
> Screen price is TBD, but looking
for a minimum 10.5 in. low-power
portable panel. Potentially two.
> Mouse will come with kit, or I can
use a battery-powered Bluetooth or
USB wireless mouse with it.
> Already have bluetooth speakers
and headphones, so no need for
speakers.
* Replacement battery for G4 Kindle
> Battery is about $15-$20 max
> Cheaper than buying a new reader,
and less wasteful.
* Small Rice Cooker
> Seen them going as low as $20 USD
> Wanting to add to my kitchenette,
and rice cookers are nice for many
things.

DIY & Make It Yourself Projects
|~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~|
* Cooling Fan Grid
> Price TBD
> Mostly want this to replace the AC
unit if possible.
> Maybe USB-powered if I can get away
with it, as with my current desk
fan.
* USB Lights
> Price TBD
> Wanting to make a shoji[0] desk lamp
with some nice washi paper for the
shade walls.
> Also wanting to make some hanging
lamps in a similar manner.
> Potential fairy light wall as well.
> Would like to use USB-powered plugs
if possible, just to make some of
them usable with off-the-shelf
battery banks.
* Shoji Divider and Window Covers
> Price TBD
> Shoji room divider will make for a
nice privacy screen.
> Shoji window covers to deal with
summer heat, while still being a
bit breathable if I need to open
the windows themselves.
* Trifold Mattress and Bedding
> Price TBD
> Wanting to make my own trifold
futon to use as both sofa and bed.
> Possibly make bedding as well.
* Foldable Floor Desk
> Price TBD
> Wanting to make a nice low desk to
use in place of the one I sit at
way too much.
> Potentially make it modular or
foldable to store it away when not
in use, or even expandable when I
need more room to work.
