Our California House Tour Before Living in an RV Full Time - Duration: 6:16.

Today we'll give you a to ur of our

four-bedroom house in Fremont.

Come on in!

We come in right into the living room.

We have kind of gray and yellow accent scheme going on.

TV. Speakers.

Table.

Big cupboard

for glasses and miscellaneous stuff.

And then.. these are two big house plants.

They've grown incredibly in the last few years.

And now let's move on into the kitchen.

This is our fridge

where we have accumulated a lot of the magnets over the travels for the last

four years being together. This is a map of all the National Parks and the dark

green ones are the places we've been.

Lots of countertops.

This is normally my chopping area.

Espresso machine, Soda Stream, and a big sink.

In the summer we have flowers here

up front that provide a nice view.

This is my flower: an orchid. For the first time

it didn't die on me and actually grew back and it's flowering the second time.

Lott's of cupboard space.

More cupboard space here.

There are so many cupboards that we

actually don't have all of them full.

Here we have a dining room.

Here is a big living room table.

This is an AeroGarden that we used to grow things before, now not so much.

Here's the door to the garage. We'll look into it later.

Here is one of the three bathrooms.

Now let's go to the second floor!

This is one of the bedrooms but for now this is my office.

This is more storage space in the hallway.

Not all a lot of it is full. This house has a lot of storage.

This is our master bedroom.

We have bed, bedside tables.

Here we used to have a dresser.

Here's another dresser and the TV.

Now let's check out the walk-in closet.

Here is my side of the hanger space and this is Matt's side of the hanger space.

This is shortly after we have decluttered our clothes so we have a lot of empty

hangers but they used to be all filled with clothes.

Here we have the master bathroom vanity.

Right next to the bathroom vanity is the bathroom itself.

Here we have the second bathroom.

Next to the bathroom we have our guest bedroom.

Guest bed, dresser. We have lived in this house for a year and so far only one guest has

stayed here for one night. Unfortunately the utilization of this has been quite low.

Next, this is another bedroom but

we are using it as Matt's office.

We have bunch of shelves for storing stuff.

Matt's desk for his hobby:electronics stuff and camera gear.

Heavy-duty desk with a workstation.

Now let's go through that door that we saw earlier into the garage.

Here, as we walk in, we have a washer and a dryer, and bookshelf where we put all the

laundry related items.

We built a rack for our bicycles. And then we have all sorts of

gear of snowboards, skis.

Garbage bins for now are here.

Matt's motorcycle and a scooter.

Here we have another rack of outdoor stuff like for camping and things like that.

Now let's go through the patio door that's next to the kitchen.

Here we have a barbecue.

Bamboo growth. A bunch of cacti

that flowered really big this summer.

Let's check out our citrus trees!

We got these a year ago.

They were about two years old. This is the first year this lemon tree

is giving fruit and already first year I think we counted like 35 lemons which

is very impressive. The orange tree, when we bought it was about this

big, and in this past year has grown so much. And it gave us three oranges in the first season.

This is our yard. There used to be a small waterfall according to the

landlord, now it's not running.

In the summer I put a hammock up there and it was really nice to hang out there after work.

Yeah, this is rest of the garden

with green grass, that now is green.

During the summer it kind of goes brown as it is common in Bay Area, California.

Thank you for joining us for this quick tour of the house we rent in Fremont, California.

California mulls a tax on TEXTS to subsidize for poorer people | No one sends SMS anymore - Duration: 9:39.

California mulls a tax on TEXTS to subsidize for poorer people | No one sends SMS anymore

California regulators are considering a plan to charge a fee for text messaging on mobile phones to help support programs that make phone service accessible to the poor, according to a newspaper report Wednesday.

The proposal is scheduled for a vote next month by the state Public Utilities Commission, the Mercury News reported. The wireless industry and business groups have been working to defeat the plan.

'It's a dumb idea,' said Jim Wunderman, president of the Bay Area Council business-sponsored advocacy group. 'This is how conversations take place in this day and age, and it's almost like saying there should be a tax on the conversations we have.

It's unclear how much money individual consumers would be asked to pay their wireless carrier for texting services under the proposal, the newspaper said. But it is likely would be billed as a flat surcharge - not a fee per text.

Wunderman said he's unaware of any other local, state or federal program that taxes texting. And the wireless industry has argued the state commission lacks legal grounds for doing so.

Business groups calculated the new charges for wireless consumers could total about $44.

They said that under the regulators' proposal the charge could be applied retroactively for five years - and could amount to a bill of more than $220million for California consumers.

A CPUC report proposing the texting surcharge says the Public Purpose Program budget has climbed from $670million in 2011 to $998million last year.

But the telecommunications industry revenues that fund the program fell from $16. 5billion in 2011 to $11. 3billion in 2017, it said.

'This is unsustainable over time,' the report says, arguing that adding surcharges on text messaging will increase the revenue base that funds programs that help low-income Californians afford phone service.

'From a consumer's point of view, surcharges may be a wash, because if more surcharge revenues come from texting services, less would be needed from voice services,' CPUC spokeswoman Constance Gordon said in a statement.
