Become a Tiny Organic Cottage builder… with help?

It is not a business that just anyone would want to do… creating housing out of the salvaged materials from past houses, barns, stores, and structures first assembled a century or more in the past. It takes a creative spirit that enjoys taking dissimilar objects from many houses to create one that will be unique, artistic, and last for a lifetime if one takes care of it. When you create a special Art House that is unlike any other, people will take better care of it, as if a giant jewelry box with the greatest of all treasures inside, Peace and Privacy, safety from the storms.

How would you get into the business of building tiny organic cottages if you are not able to go out and buy the doors, windows, flooring, siding, interior skins for the ceiling, walls, bathroom? If you were fortunate and have the cash to go and buy all the materials and then build a house in hopes of living in it or selling it, that will take a good chunk of cash out of your bank account or add a big chunk to your credit cards. There is another way to get started though, for some it could mean partnering up with someone who has a bit of carpentry knowledge, perhaps an old-time carpenter who is wise but arthritic and thus can share experience and advice, the two things most kids do not have to get started.

If you have a place, like a barn or building to create inside of, all the better so you can take a bit of time to build the outside framework and skins, install the windows, and roll it outside to finish while you start another inside. If done right, with helpers who might also then become homeowners when they get the hang of building, get the materials they will need through bartering their help working for windows, doors, and other parts they can not find or afford in the big box stores. Micro-financing the items would make it even easier as most are a bit tight on money in 2020.

To that end, an easy means to finance the bulk of the cost of materials for honest people to build a tiny organic cottage from vintage materials, toxin and import free, all American like me. I am offering up a package of materials and custom designs so that some of the possible Organic Cottage Builders of the future can get started today, learn the loopholes and methods, then soar in a career few are even aware is booming on the horizon as our society downsizes and becomes concerned about living a healthy life.

At 65 years old and having suffered a life of scoliosis, I have never known such great health, life, or passion. See there is another path and then take it so you can show others that miracle are possible, we can enjoy or later years more than the early ones, as can be seen in Salvage, Texas. Salvage Mind, Body, Home and Spirit

Gratitude for what you have, but if you can not see the opportunity at your fingertips and you miss it, the lack of perspicuity is your problem not the lack of opportunity if you could just see it, take action, and aim for the stars. Then, with passion ignited, nothing can stop you.

We now know the environment, diet, exercise, and attitude are what determine if life is Heaven or Hell for those who suffer from failing to properly care for their vessel, the body that houses their soul. We can make a big difference on our health by removing as much stress as possible, like big payments, utility bills, taxes, and other distractions from being happy. Why not simplify and thrive instead? Be healthy and get younger instead.

Some do not believe in such things but still need housing and an appreciation for the work done by our ancestors to create these treasured stockpiles of incredible resources disguised as derelict buildings, houses, and in need of dismantling so that the parts can be reused to create hOMes. Please consider helping get a young person impassioned with what they could to do to change the world, one house at a time for the millions who will need them as the society transitions from abundance to scarcity for many. More children now live with their parents after reaching adult age than in the Great Depression and it is not getting better soon. Please consider how we can grow this trend in a positive manner and allow for the re-consolidation of family and the creation of new tiny communities for those who have no family to fall back to for help, no support network left but able to help create one that all who participate can benefit from too.

Thank you for considering using the Pure Salvage Living Renaissance ethos in creating your future to Thrive in rather than just survive what is coming. We have so many treasures to tap for the mere price of human energy, and once freed from the Matrix of a job that no longer exists, you can join in a booming industry that has created more millionaires than any other in America. Why not consider Salvage Mining, Salvage Building, or putting the network together for that to happen as you build a portfolio as a Salvage Hunter and find, contract for salvage, and help sell so all can benefit?

Appraising the wood, the houses, the possible treasures can be done by house inspectors or old guys like me who can see it all on your cell phone from afar and consult without driving into that nasty cold weather you are having up north. Consultation building, designing, and moving can also all be done with the wonders of instant video and pictures in everyone’s smart phone these days so that you can find out if the termites, wood bores, toxic contamination from asbestos, chemicals, or pesticides should stop you from taking a place down.

This can now be done and the micro-financing to help you get started building where you are instead of here is now in place to pay for the most important materials. You would still need some skin in the game by purchasing you own screws, nails, wiring, insulation, house wrap, roof underlayment, but little else if you choose to join and be part of the Pure Salvage Outpost network that will ensure you have a mentor when it looks like you hit a stopping point, a frustration that makes you want to burn the project down, or the people that may cause the same reaction. Don’t freak out, call your Salvage Shaman.

That is enough for this write as it is hard to hold attention for too long these days. If you have more questions and want to get into the Salvage Industry… contact [email protected] or [email protected]

Here and very much alive…

Bridge over Untroubled Waters is nearly done, alas… the Time to Act has Arrived!

What are you waiting for during these perilous Covid fear and restriction filled days of freedom and democracy in America? Our world stands at the edge of the “Chasm at the Fringe”, the point at which Wii make the leap of faith to reach the far side or fall into the abyss of fear and self-destruction that craggy rocks below insure for those who fail to leap, to fly, to do or die.


Are you prepared for surprises, events that were not projected by the weather or news channels on TV? Are you hiding from the pandemic that seems to ebb and flow based on political situations in the world? Are you spiritually prepared with faith and the strength of Truth to fuel you?

When in the position of being a Warrior or a victim, which will you choose and do you wait until the last minute to prepare if you are a Warrior? No, instead there are many things to prepare for and plan as the future is truly going to be different than any sort of past we have known in America. From the economy to the politics of the election, the repercussions based on which side wins the battle for Truth in Voting, recognizing the individuals over the global corporations that want to control the masses, and the people who wish to be controlled as well as control others, who of course do not wish to be controlled… just live a happy healthy family life with God, family, country, and career all sewn together nicely into a peaceful package we can call our country and be proud of. Better still, the global freedom that will follow when truthful elections can happen instead of the rigged versions that have let the worst of leaders run the masses for far too long.

Oddly, thanks to the internet as a means of communication, many autistic kids are able to hyper-focus, research, and dig without distraction to find the facts, the trails, statistical anomalies, and successfully track down details like no other generation ever. The gift for some is can be ignited by their passion though some have viewed their uniqueness as a defect, for many, it is actually an asset when they are given a passion, purpose, and direction. It may well be many of what some consider the idiot savants who few understand will do things no others can do, and the results will free the masses as other White Hats in the battle for Truth use them to expose the Liars, thieves, and evil-doers that have been hidden for two centuries or more from the public eye and scrutiny. Not possible any longer thanks to technology being used against them as they have used it against the people to falsify elections, control through meds, and worse.

Is it possible to change the way the world thinks about our power as individuals? Is it possible for a “World of United Beings” (WUB) to work toward peace instead of war, profiteering, and the worst of human characteristic being rewarded instead of the best? Can WUB succeed in bringing about the changes through communication, imagination, and peaceful negotiation? Wii, all the I’s on the planet united together can do more than “We versus Them” mentality that dominates most cultures and societies around the world now. Wii can do better together but the leaders that stopped that for their own benefit must be eliminated and leaders with philanthropic intentions replace them for a few centuries at least. Alas, will that cycle come to pass? I believe so, but not without some pain.

Can humans salvage the world of people without eliminating 6 billion people as some suggest the elite would like to do? Will humans overpopulate and destroy the resources needed to keep us all healthy and happy? Big questions that are being played out as we speak of the subject by a small cluster of people who do not necessarily have the masses in mind but the minimum population in mind instead. Hard to imagine, but not if you imagine being one of the elite left behind with a bunch of helpless servants to take care of your every need. Pity that is not possible and certainly not in the plan book that I came to help work on during my lifetime.

I came to salvage the best of the past, the treasures our ancestors left for us to steward into a new millennium when Wii can conserve our resources, care for the people, planet, and all beings on it rather than focus on 1%. It is possible and with the help of other Beings that are far more advanced than the average human, Wii can join with them to explore the farther reaches of our Cosmos, but Wii must agree to join in Peace and not set off to war and conquer where Mankind might visit as has been the case so many times in the last few thousand years. Is Humanity capable of this next step?

Some of us think the answer is yes. Wii incarnated with an intention and purpose, to come and prepare and help in this transitional period on Earth when life is the most exciting it has been in ages and what comes of this great challenge and battles will determine the future of much more than the humans understand that are part of the bigger play going on the Cosmic Stage. God, as many will call the source of the energy that gives impetus to all that Wii experience and call life, is expanding the thought of us and will soon transform the reality Wii experience. Salvage what you want of the past that is good, and carry the memories with you as you go forward, Enlightened by shedding the things that have no real value and holding tight to the less obvious but more powerful forces of Love, manifestation through imagination, and positive creations that will lead to a new period of prosperity that includes all the players on the planet instead of just a few.

Begin by building a sustainable body, home, and community that hinges on healthy foods, exercise that honors the vessel, and thus will come a peacefulness within and clarity that enable people to do what some consider miracles. Build a tiny home to rest in and spend your life hours doing things, taking action, and making the world a better place for others and yourself rather than expect others to serve you. Happiness comes from giving service, occasionally being serviced, and sharing the benefits of success by empowering others to find it too rather than taking advantage of them in their ignorance.

Save the best of the past while knowing the future will never be a repeat but an upgrade if Wii focus on making it better every day instead of throwing away the past as if it is trash. Honor the ancestors and those who follow by not wasting the efforts, work, and dreams of those who created the wonderful world of possibilities that await us as Wii address global challenges together with internet communication that could spread solutions to all instantly and the actions taken by humanity could then bring about an abundance, revitalization, and ample resources for all to live well. To get there many will specialize in areas that once combined, the benefits to all of us from the focused work of those with passion and community support, not greedy corporations, life for all people on the planet will be better.

The Pure Salvage Living Renaissance is growing and people around the world are realizing the value of Wisdom from the elders, the ingenuity and creativity of younger children who, given the chance as Beings coming back into physical form as Spirits with something to offer, not empty packages of flesh that can be used, abused, and neglected. Treat each child like the gift to our planet that they are. Each could be the child that solves the biggest problems our world may face… the engineer, prophet, or doctor that helps millions can be born to the poorest or the richest of families… so do not deny either the chance to excel. Please join in making our future incredible by salvaging the best of the past, incorporating it into a plan for the future, and sharing the results freely so that all can benefit.

Salvage, Texas is the Cosmic Embassy for all Beings to visit, share, dream, then take action to create the solutions that the entire planet can use, grow with, and then take out into the Cosmos as part of the Intercosmic WUB Society that helps as planets like ours reach their puberty and hopefully survive to thrive as mature societies that can co-mingle and grow throughout the universes Wii have yet to see.

Does Beauty require perfection or excellence… and is it a curse?

Here is a point that I wandered off on but should be considered in the world we look at now, with child trafficking and thus the value of a pretty face.
The response to the post on hair, and the comment on cutting it off so I could be pretty again. That brought this perspective some may not consider to mind. I have lived and seen what I speak of here…

In our youth we can be candy for the eyes, for the fantasy of the mind if beautiful, is life easier?

It’s your head and your face. If you want to grow it all to your knees ( and are ,lucky enough to be able), then go for it. Sad but true, people do tend to respond more positively to those considered very attractive, be they male or female. It’s weird, through little of our own doing, at least initially, we either get blessed with good looks or not. We can enhance or detract from what “fate” dealt us but cant take credit for the “gift”. Good points, of course. Would that we took less interest in physical appearance and more on quality of character. ☮

Darby for
Tiny Texas Houses: Is it important to focus on being pretty?


So many lose the quality of character being most important and looks simply a distraction that can delude the possessor more than those possessed by the desire for what they see, like eye candy, arm candy as it is called when old guys have young beautiful girlfriends as an example. Pity is, many think they are special and use their looks for money, greed, control, and gaining trust by taking advantage in so many ways. Good looks are not always a blessing but the curse that one has to deal with as ego will seek to take control as others flatter and say nice things in order to taste or own the candy they want and see, in the shallowest of ways. No one sees the intellect in beautiful people before they see and judge many things based on the cover of the book. Muriel Hemmingway is a great example of having survived where her sister did not.
Deeper but not better…

The best looking little girls face the highest chance of sexual abuse, as with little boys that is talked of so much less, the problem is the adults who can not deal with pretty without getting sexually aroused and follow their perverted fantasy. It is then that one understands the curse of being pretty in the wrong place at the wrong time and with the wrong people. Once understood in that light, darkness can fall on a pretty little girl’s or boy’s face and no one knows why which is so sad as I have known many, and thus in silence, the pretty kids cry.

Life is not what it appears for many, and the great color wrapper, what appears on the outside cover of the book does not tell the story of what is inside. Like advertising does not sell the truth but the desire to possess, people who try to look beautiful as their primary goal in life, to look great and use plastic surgery, makeup, jewelry, and clothes to make up for not being able to stand proud, naked, jewelry and clothes free, no big house or car to make one look important, just naked in a line of millions. Typically, like advertising, wig off, falsies gone, temporary teeth caps off, and makeup washed off, girdle left by the bed, and OMG what a morning can bring. But beauty put together for an hour before the date does not always look the same when piled up and washed off to a cloth, eyelashes on the sink, jewelry on the bedstand.

Get simply and live real. Tiny can be beautiful, simple can be the solution.

Oh boy… what a short meaningful one-night relationship requires is not so much trust in the obvious, but the powers of observation in dim light, with alcohol, and desire instead of a brain to recieve the signal with that fires up the candles of “LOVE” at the bars. Covid will at least curb that part of social decline I would hope… so that hook-ups… as I hear it called, to touch and hold the beauty seen online for a few minutes, then off to other shallow distractions. Sad society.
Can you stand proud and know all you need is within, not a phone, thing, or story with a title? Tiny Houses cause one to look within rather than out for contentment and happiness. To find the healthiest place in life one must have a healthy mind, heart, and body… or the turmoil of one will effect the others.

Get right on the inside, clean house, throw out the historical trash and blaming others to take responsibility, get past the illusions of beauty being the most important thing and focus on character, action, performance and intention. Thus will you find success and happiness, looking outward, not at a mirror and admiring self, but helping others instead. Looks don’t really matter then.

If your Tiny House Dream came true, where would you put it?

Suppose you wanted to live off-grid in a sustainably built organic cottage under 400 SF in size, without the wheels of the mobile home/RV genre and intended to last for a lifetime instead of the prescribed 7-10 years for modern construction standards. Where would you put it?

Would you put it on a hill, in valley, or Cityville?

How would you then have other like-minded homeowners, community members who also wanted to have a permaculture yard instead of grass with fertilizer and insecticides all about? It should be unlawful but much that you can not control is being sprayed without conscience for the wildlife that will pay for the continuity of appearances that is required in Homeowner Associations that adhere to the turn-in-your-neighbor advocates and rewards.

The Kidd is only 67 sf on the bottom floor, not a house by most standard but one most adored.

Where do you go to set down roots to grow veggies, raise chickens with a rooster, and also feed the birds, frogs, flowers, and preserve the last of the pollinators? Yes we are losing both the day and night which are often forgotten, moths that die below all the lights that would have spread seed and been Feed for other critters instead of broomed up in parking lots.

Society has cost nature most of its food and the cost is only being calculated in the loss of bugs, not in the consequences of that loss and most of you use unnecessary lighting on your porches, towns, malls, etc that lead to them dying while flying toward the Light.

They do not know it will be their doom… like many who follow religions as if the Light they offer will save them but indeed, it simply starves them and leaves them dead at the bottom of a pulpit to Light that is deadly instead of Life-giving. More lights are distracting and leading people and bugs to doom than ever… but the bugs at least are not in fear. The critters with no food, perhaps they fear their death, searching for food is stressful and deadly if you fail. Soon the same fate is in store for millions upon millions of Chinese suffering from floods, as well as so any other countries, Russia, India, but still to come… America and Mexico as the hurricanes line up for the busiest season ever known in America too.

Grasshoppers turn into locusts and to think our turn is not coming would be foolish too. Watch and see what crops survive the floods are then the focus of the pestilence, thus less food with more desperate people, critters, and thus… stress load on all go up, war the outcome throughout history. While ants plan and store for the winter and problems ahead, the grasshoppers eat, ignoring the need to prepare. Are you a grasshopper, waiting to turn into a locust and take food from all to survive? Are you an ant that will have been prepared with water, some food, life skills, and a community that will hold together in hard times instead of eat each other?

If you do not think of these philosophical and life-critical issues… now is the time to reconsider your priorities and become autodidactic before it is simply too late. No one will want to have what you will bring to a community when you arrive with nothing begging for a safe place and food yet do nothing in advance to prove you are worth helping instead of just being a taker, hater, and making fun of all the ants who see the waves, the volcanos, the weather a changing, the world-changing.

Sometimes you have to create the dreamscape you want to be your own matrix.

So why have I been trying to get people into tinier sustainable houses for the last decade and to have them build without imports, using salvaged materials and local training? Is that so hard to see as the rollover into a new age comes into clear view, irreversible though unrecognized as such by the Robin Hood investors who are about to take a financial bloodbath?

Sometimes we just need a little bit of help.

Who will survive, thrive, and live on once this thinning of the heard is over? First will be those who are ready to move fast, stay strong having readied in advance, and prepared. Are you in that group or waiting with hopes your government will save you from the hoards of stupid desperate people no longer wearing clean masks, flooding, food shortages and oh yea… no toilet paper to be found?

Loving being in a dreamscape that Wii get to create, savor, and share.

Only the Free.

I am half-way through a neverending dream… it seems…

Once upon a time an open field with nary a tree, 3′ of red clay on top of the ground, and a dream of ponds, caves, and giant rocks came into view.
So with such a view and needing something incredible to do for my 64th year on this planet so blue, I decided to dig till my vision came true. Isn’t that what you would do?
Along the way a few rocks I display as the product of hours of work, and the water is pure to be so much a cure for the world of great pains and deep aches.

I am Halfway into a dream that never ends, how far is that?
I have seen so many things that I have once thought of as fact.
I have wondered at the miracles that others spoke of in my life.
I have lived some and believe in them thus seldom feel strife.

Some wonder how this land could turn from desolate to fine.
How Rocks as big as this can lie so hidden, just to find?
How waters come to fill the holes, to make this One you see,
The sands now full of life, so green, the nutrients now free.

Fish and frogs, birds and dogs, kids all ages run and swim,
walking barefoot, grounding all ways, mud, clean air to breathe.
Treat your Vessel as God wanted, grow to be your best,
Come and visit Salvage, Texas where the proof is in the test.

Imagination with intention, your focus, and your will
combined with action to move forward ever higher still.
What can you do? I say to you, see what I’ve done this year.
If an old guy does this all alone, can’t others thus see clear?

Believe in You, the miracle that came from your mother’s womb.
Don’t let down all the generations once you’re in your tomb.
Give your life to making great phenomena appear!
Be the One exemplified by what you do while here.

Wii owe it to our Source of Light, our God of many names,
to use this time of transformation to set our Spirits free.
Unite in our Prosperity simplicity can bring.
Ground with our Earth in a rebirth that United Wii can sing.

Grow a garden, grow your food, imagination based on Truth.
Grow your children strong and smart, lifeskills leaning to the arts.
Grow your mind, self-education to become a global nation
of peaceful people freedom bound, with Truth and Honor…
Finally found!
