PN waxes about paint and powersports.
Nuclear weapons.
If you could un-invent something, what would it be? Nuclear weapons. Could physicists delve into subatomic theory and not muse… huh… what would happen if I smack 2 things together... they go ‼️ That deadly genie is out of the bottle. There's no need to pursue this mad technology, and plunge us into a nuclear … Continue reading Nuclear weapons.

Sunday, November 03, 2024 Farm Update
let's start with our sawmill structures trials and tribulations. PN's still optimistic. When the system works, the walls clicks into place. When I'm really unlucky, I get cracks. This is NOT standard residential kit. I'll call S/S if we discover a really kacked board. Click on the image for more detailed woe & metacaptions. And … Continue reading Sunday, November 03, 2024 Farm Update

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled? Need details? Link. Physio helped my shoulder. Now, for cardio! This bypass will allow rental GEN to be installed if SHTF.

Wednesday evening update. September 18, 2024. Plus Sept. 19/24!
PN and TS are working on the farm, eating good food, and documenting the construction site's progress. Their family friends came to visit from the city and brought their 2 wolves with them. GP showed PN his modified breakdown hoist (and impressed the hell out of the guy).
Why do I blog?
Writing is a skill that requires practice to maintain. Blogging serves as a way for the author to express thoughts and feelings, share experiences, and challenge assumptions. It also documents a building project, inspired by the book "Little House Off The Grid," with updates on construction progress and acknowledgements to companies involved {{AI generated, human vetted}}.
Monday… our day off. And we’re at the construction site!
PN and TS find working together less stressful at the construction site. PN enjoys labor while TS fits board ends for firewood. They both like bringing order from chaos. PN struggles using tools with his non-dominant hand. They encountered a coiled garder snake but managed to shoo it away. TS felt wind-chilled after a 8.3 km walk. {{{AI generated; human vetted}}}
Sunday, August 18 2024… I have (the) power!
Well, it's the construction crew's generator. Our PV system, while interesting, is still being assembled. When will the drywall be ready for the next step - TBA. Tomato ladders, firewood, soil-boxes. Plastics? To the bin. 😦 Design Electrical feeds their sparkies a unique diet (kidding). Preserve my hearing for HiFi. Obnoxious sound in the woods. … Continue reading Sunday, August 18 2024… I have (the) power!
In the woods, time flows differently.
The downpour made quite an impact on PN. TS was busy slinging dog biscuits!

We’re still optimistic that a mural can be applied to that north wall. This array has 1 empty row for PV expansion. Rydall Construction has history with us. And you need to give them your business.

Money. Gasoline. Impact. Relationships. Felines. Food.
Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle? Sustainable lifestyle can be a tricky weasel word (phrase) for me to define. If I look at it from a financial POV, am I living within my means. I have a guaranteed basic income. I’m not burning through money that I … Continue reading Money. Gasoline. Impact. Relationships.
