A many spindled story up to the heights of imagination, even for Escher, there are some things that can be built that defy what most architects and designers are taught in school. So they don’t.

Why not be creative and use the best of the past to form a future less expensive than the ones that governments impose upon the public? What is wrong with being different? Suppose you’re short and don’t need to waste the height for a ceiling that will never see a 6‘8” tall person come to visit. I prefer to create with the things that cost less and celebrate the times when people had the freedom to choose and the dang inspectors did not have a job to lose. No government to tax men on the home that they could build somehow led to taxing that can take you home at will. What has happened to our way of incentivizing growth for the common man who had a plan that might be great once it was built? Baker’s Dozen Sale (buy 12, get 13th for free) on spindles, windows, doors, and more.

What happened to ingenuity when corporations became the persona that can influence votes, and thus control the world? How do Wii fight back? Wii, who see that there is another way to be the best at building, as you can see, without doing so much work to slow down my productivity. Wii demonstrate what is possible and hope others will see so that they can build more of such once they follow Mii. Lots of articles and examples, videos, and more to show you how to do it, and it’s all for free. Learn and build, teach if you are skilled, and create the Co-ops now so that the locals can carry on where I am leaving off.

Get the sources almost for free. By using railing, posts, and stairs, I save the most. When I’m done in a day, others would have taken a week to do it that well, if they could do it at all. Most carpenters can not build like this anymore. No one can cut down the trees and make these things with such ease unless they use salvaged parts and craft them much quicker, designed thus from the start with parts we have. Why create more when you can use less and keep the work your own, and the mess? Why build new things when the old ones work great, unless the codes say you can’t? And then the government takes taxes for the monstrosity that builders, by code, are allowed to create trash housing designed to break down?

Some windows are just waiting to be combined to create a house I have had in mind.

Yes, that is a fantastic tree that I once bartered for what the man needed to build a house, just the windows and doors. He asked me if I wanted more. I said ‘heck yes,’ but never saw him again. Behind it is a 2×6, all tongue and grooved, so that it would fit well for a loft.

These panels formed the top of walls between the workspace and office stalls in the very early 1900s, in Buffalo, NY, as I recall. Two have glass and two could use beaded both sides of wood to make them the opaque panels between rooms instead of wasting space with studs and shitrock nailed on.

Virgin Plinth Blocks by the baker’s dozen. Created in 1900, New Old Stock. Some special burled pine costs a bit more.

1911 circa hard baked tile that will resist fire and hail. 700-800 sf in stock.

Bulletproof shutters with a special view to shoot from. 1890s circa with hardware. 2 sets.

For messages or offerings on the backs of church pews. You can use them for a door, messages, with a pencil slot, no less.

So much to pick from as the sale begins, buy by the dozens, get more, and you win. How much barnwood, how much trim? How many windows to make it all fit? Big or small, stained glass or textures, what will your windows look like instead of vinyl or aluminum? Great, I am sure if you will endure a bit of inconvenience, a bit more of the prep, but you’ll save so much money that it’ll be worth many trips. Better still, if looks could thrill, then you will see it in the eyes of the guests who come to see your house and are truly surprised. Be the odd one on the street with lots of wood to keep you healthy in your home.

Stop the madness of still buying crap to build a home while the sale is on. You can purchase wood for the cost of Shitrock by the time you put it up. Not to mention the incredible tension that comes with getting sick when using new materials that all emit outgassing.
