in our rig&#8230;the table, the desk and the floor. \u00a0Flat horizontal spaces always seem to accumulate things in a home whether it has wheels or not. \u00a0The difference in the trailer is that there is less supply of horizontal flat space but no less\u00a0demand for it.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Table for 5<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0Like in any other house the dining room table gets a lot of use. \u00a0Its used for computers, homework, art projects, puzzles, games and eating. \u00a0We only have 4 chairs so Steph got an ottoman with storage that is our fifth dining chair and, due to its low height, is given to the tallest person in the family. \u00a0Two of the chairs straddle\u00a0the main floor and the slightly higher slideout floor so two people sit crooked. \u00a0The two people in the other chairs are trapped in their seat by the crooked sitters. \u00a0Our table in the trailer has a leaf which must be used for the 5 of us to be able to use it simultaneously. \u00a0Its a little cramped when we all have our plates of food, drinks, serving dishes and all but we love sharing a meal together. \u00a0Whenever we get the chance we like to eat outside where we have a lot more room. \u00a0<div id=\"flickr_table_5274\"><div class=\"slickr-flickr-slideshow landscape medium nocaptions \"><div class=\"active\"><img

wherever I am. \u00a0All I need is my little computer and my hotspot. \u00a0I try to work outside when I can but sometimes its too hot, or too bright, or too wet so I move indoors. \u00a0I sometimes use the table or I work at the couch. \u00a0My official desk consists of opening my two dresser drawers and placing a piece of plywood on it as a desk&#8230;.I sit on the bed. \u00a0I&#8217;ve worked at beaches, in parks, at libraries and in the truck. \u00a0There are times when I wish I had a designated desk to sit at that didn&#8217;t require me to move every time someone needs by. \u00a0But that is a VERY small price to pay for the freedom I have with my work. \u00a0God&#8217;s handiwork is all over the orchestration of my work situation over the years but the evidence is overwhelming

shoe. \u00a0There are some clever solutions out there like <a href=\"https:\/\/ditchingsuburbia.com\/blog\/tree-mural-and-shoe-storage\">this one<\/a> and if we were going full time I would probably
