 Two buckets make up our washing machine. I got this navy blue one a few years ago and used it to save water, electricity, and explore a simpler life. The problem in Indiana and Pennsylvania was that I could never get the clothes wrung out enough so they would get mildew-y stinky on the line. That is not a problem here. The first clothes I hung on the line were dry by the time I washed the 4th bucket load. Which is small, by the way, a full bucket in this washing machine is 2 t-shirts or 5 pairs of underwear. There's a slotted tray at the bottom of the bucket to keep the clothes a couple inches off the bottom, theoretically cause the dirt all settles there, so this keeps the clothes out of the dirt. I don't think that makes sense, cause I'm using the plunger as heartily as I can, and I'm sure that pulls the dirt up through the tray. Other than that, any bucket and any plunger would be equal to this task. I got the sky blue bucket here to facilitate rinsing, so I can use the same wash water a couple times, then turn the rinse water into wash water, and so forth.  Wind, as is so often the case here, is the biggest challenge.
I spent hours this week burying buckets (again, buckets, but this time they hold posts in concrete) that we're using for shadecloth because the wind keeps taking them down - sometimes onto the van. We wonder when one will land on a dog or person! Only two buckets-with-posts are still unburied, and that's because we don't know where they should go yet - it's a lot of work to do twice.

Your ways of laundry have somehow been is helpful. Because it will make your living easy, all you have to do is sort clothes and insert each of them in a washing machine. Washing machine should also paired by a dryer too. So that you can hang all the clothes without worrying that it won't dry off. I assure you in one day you can also save time and electricity by this. Never use a plunger in clothes, it is not applicable. Your clothes might get more dirty. I hope my piece of advice helps. 7/25/2019 05:33:20 am
Your way of conserving water and electricity is quite unique and matches to a very simple living. But it makes me wonder how you will save your time and energy in doing that process. You see if you could only wash two t-shirts or 5 pairs of underwear how long will you finish your laundry if you have more to wash. You will do the same process until you will finish your laundry? I think it is tiring especially in using the plunger. Unless if you are living alone but still in my opinion it will occupy much of my time and energy and you cannot do anything else until you are done washing your clothes. It is just my opinion. 10/17/2019 03:46:59 pm
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain function. However, if little carbohydrate remains in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. There are theoretically no restrictions on where the ketogenic diet might be used, and it can cost less than modern anticonvulsants. However, fasting and dietary changes are affected by religious and cultural issues. A culture where food is often prepared by grandparents or hired help means more people must be educated about the diet. When families dine together, sharing the same meal, it can be difficult to separate the child's meal. In many countries, food labelling is not mandatory so calculating the proportions of fat, protein and carbohydrate is difficult. In some countries, it may be hard to find sugar-free forms of medicines and supplements, to purchase an accurate electronic scale, or to afford MCT oils. 4/10/2020 03:03:09 am
