House Design:6/14/07

-----Keeping only human created good- The design for a lifestyle is as follows--------------------------Premice: All functions of this life style including all supplies(materials, energy, work)should------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----1.be done with 0.00 work, so that they make themselves and you don't have to work------ -----2.and they should be solid state devices or cannot possibly ever break(low maintenance)--- -----3.and the devices should be easilly constructed from common materials without having to buy from a factory wherever possible----------------------------------------------------------- -----4.or if do buy from a factory it should be inexpensive-------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • -----Cooking(requires power)/Dishes/Fridge(requires power)- 1 option is to have a microwave/convection/bake oven all in one unit to consolidate all functions of cooking(drawbacks are cooking many different items at once)and have an infra red burner for easy to clean cooktop-----The 2nd option is for the least maintenance possible to have an outdoor infra red barbecue that is powered by solar cells,(or newer power system) and for cold days have an outdoor heater by the barbecue,----- and for pots and pans if you didn't even clean them except rinse them off and then heated them on the barbecue they would be disinfected thru "pasturization" and there would be effectively no need for cleaning of pots / pans except for rinsing for the bulk of dirt-----and for dishes you would have paper plates and paper cups and metal utencils and clean the utensils w/ soap and clean filtered / boiled water. This way you buy the paper plates and cups instead of water/ energy/soap for a dishwasher. And to get rid of the plates and cups either burn or put in a compost pile that requires it-----and for keeping leftovers, or crop overrun, and cold drinks, and ice you may want a fridge run off of solar power, or some cultures in warm climates just always pick fresh produce from their property and eat meat from a barbecue party of some sort every sunday, with no leftovers
  • Water heater(requires power)/clothes washer/dryer- For hot water use an "instant tankless water heater" where using the water is the lowest energy use possible by only heating the water on-demand and for more hot water flow at a time just connect 2 instant water heaters in series, this also saves on the space taken up from the conventional storage tank water heaters; the cost of an instant tankless water heater is $180-$400 now, electric powered is best-----for washer and dryer you may choose a washer dryer combo unit that saves on space and energy and water, but there is an inventive solution to get rid of them mostly- if you made a shirt out of a material that was stretchy or strong and never ripped(maybe kevlar) and also didnt absorb dirt but was still a breathable fabric- then you could put the shirt over a shirt shaped panel or grid and clean it with alcohol/ perfume mix and wipe off the dirt with a brush or another cloth . ----- The alcohol acts as a disinfectand and as a mild solvent loosening the dirt and the perfume is to get rid of odor and the brush is to loosen and take off the dirt. But supposedly with this system you wouldn't require the massive amounts of water and your cleaning would be done in 10 minutes instead of 2 hours and would dry instantly requiring no high electricity using dryer. and also the space saving and the soap buying costs would be replaced with alcohol/ scent buying cost.----- The one drawback other than slight work is of washing blankets or other thick clothe used for insulating properties usually. So you may want a washer around just in case anyway or go to the cleaners wich is what you do with expensive quilts anyway.
  • Supplies(have to pay)- for sure will need laundry soap or alcohol/ dish soap, bar soap, shampoo, chemicals(vinegar, alcohol,etc., all nontoxic though) toothpaste, deodorant, clothes, haircut, and paper plates/bowls/cups- I always find that with all of these supplies the cheaper it is the better the quality of the product all around or the better bang for your buck( for the reason they're only common/ known chemical formulas that you can't improove on)----- now for the other supplies of daily life I will explain why they might not be needed------light bulbs- may not need of my light collection device works otherwise use flouresent and only replace once in 2 or more years -10$/year.-----entertainment- you may be able to buy a dvd or a comic or a game used and then sell it right after done using it on ebay or trade with friends. otherwise seeing movies in theatres is an expence if you like doing that -10$+/mo-----Foil/wrap- may use hardly any if you use sturdy tupperware-5$/year-----TP- if you had a washing toilet with a washlet then you could make your own toilet paper if you made your own water and used that instead- warm water line supplied by the tankless waterheater/ and a cold water line under a certain pressure each- cost of one of these seats is 180$ and up but lasts forever and self cleaning parts(but you want household cleaners just in case)-cost= maybe 0.00 if self sufficient system-----trash bags- you don't need if you don't produce solid waste( or for the little that you do produce use grocery bags)cost=0.00-----paper towels -you don't need to buy if you use rags(lots of them for different purposes and rotation of use)- otherwise use them if they're cheap or you can afford it because they're biodegradable or burnable and are less work to do- cost maybe at 3 rolls in 2/3 of a year is about 4$/year-----stationary- instead may use pda with flash card storage or computer with cd storage(always have back-up disks or files)----- laundry sheets and soap may not be needed if you use the inventive idea above- cost= maybe 0.00-----dvd+r(w)may want if not a minimalist-cost= 20$/year(always buy the good brand or will get corrupted dvd's- go to radioshack)-----boxes- just buy them when you move 20$/year(get rid of all the stuff that you haven't used in a year-sell stuff on ebay instead of a garage sale)-----in all my estimate for my supply budget is about 10$/mo +/- 5$/mo
  • Phone(have to pay)- get a cell phone that never breaks and gets power from radio waves or just charge at night if not self charging in some way like solar cell battery that hook to at night but either way you need to pay a phone bill from monopoly so 20$-40$/mo
  • Calendar/datebook/phone#'s/address book- may use pda with flash memory and backup
  • Important paper work/ backup disks- keep in a lockbox hidden(beauracracy is a human made problem so far and if you have ID theft then it's not even a sure thing
  • Tools/ Supplies/ Experiments- as humans we always need to alter our environment so it's important to have all the tools needed and supplies needed so have consolidated into one box unless big tools
  • Car(requires power)- in the perfect world we should all be flying easy to use ultralite helicopters-for the reasons of not needing to maintain and expand roads with taxes, using up valuable land and also wasting time in traffic and alsoyou have access to anywhere no matter how remote. Supposedly if my electron device works it will make this and all other things possible----- well other than that the best car out there is the "Tesla Roadster" wich performs just as good as a high end sports car without a single one of the drawbacks and if you want to travel long distance it will go 250 miles on one charge wich I travel and know that 200 miles is driving from when you wake up to when you make a hotel reservation. so then charge it at night for 4 hrs like a cell phone and leave the next day
  • lighting(may need power)-my light capture device or solar powered flouresent
  • Heating(may need power)/cooling- in a cave it's a constant 45 degrees all year round so I propose having the same for a house by making the house out of old fashioned "adobe"/stucko and having half of the house underground and may only then need warm clothes when cold and a "heated top" chimney to circulate air on a hot day----- and if that doesn't work then have an electric space heater when cold and have a chimney when it's hot instead of a fan and go to the underground portion of the house when it's hot
  • cleaning- dusting-waft dust in the air with a duster and let the chimney (heated top is low pressure and open window is high pressure creating draft) suck the dusty air out of the house----- sweeping/vacuuming - always have wood floors and wear socks- because carpets are a human made problem that only creates dust and has to be replaced and serves no actual realistic purpose- and have a swivel sweeper wich uses battery power and if it actually has suction power then it is the best designed vacuum ever created----- disinfection/deep cleaning-use the cheap household chemicals described in "haileys hints"-water softener/cream of tarter/ amonia/ white vinegar/ hydrogen peroxide/(white)toothpaste/hair spray/ bar of soap/ rubbing alcohol/ always cold water-but you mostly only need these if you have oldfashioned cooktop or dishes or old type toilet wich may be possible to eliminate , but shower and sink have to stay
  • food/ fruit/ veggie/herb/ meat-meat you can trap or hunt or fish for if you don't have to live in the city-----fruit/ veggie/ herb- grown at home and traded with neighbors and stored in freezer----- dairy/ wine/ chocolate'and other rare items that are also bad for you are put together in different ways for all food needs
  • water(requires power)-fresh water may be from a water producing plant like vines (grapes) or fruit juice and to water in a drought just have a storm water collection pond of semiclean water and water the plants with that, using an electric pump or down hill and an automatic sprinkler system(pretty straight forward to set up) clean water can also be made with a polyethelene terephthalate bottle put in the sun for 6 hours until a temperature of I think 160 degrees for 30 minutes at least but if you get it wrong it could be dangerous so look it up on the internet----- otherwise for all other water needs either use a slow sand filter or a normal filter of some kind and then use that for most tasks (shower- if it's clean enough for that,and toilet)and for sink water or totaly disinfected water you should boil it and keep it in a clean tank(plastic) or if the instant tankless waterheater is hot enough it may heat the water enough for disinfection if the bacteria die that fast.
