All the different ways of solving the shelter problem. To be static or mobile? Roots, legs, or wheels?

it's been awhile, @theanimal, are you still living with the cooler set up?
Yes, still going strong. We have added some larger ice blocks to our rotation, in the form of a half gallon yogurt container and a couple of quart containers. These take longer to freeze, but last 2-3 days versus the ~24 hrs for the water bottles. In warm weather (70F and up), the larger vessels didn't last much more than 24 hrs either. No food spoilage since maybe last fall now (greens). During the spring, summer and fall, the cooler lives out on our porch next to one of our chest freezers. Now with cooler nights, I open the cooler lid which helps everything remain cool without changing ice packs.
