30 people will get to have the materials to build a home and be able to pay for them later, when finished. Test run for more?

This is a very limited offer with conditions that must be met to qualify, and you must be approved. There is a questionnaire to

OCT 11, 2025

What is the questionnaire for? To help us figure out who those winners will be who go off and build houses with the project materials, financed with the caveat that you will pay later, once the home is built and you can thrive. No one has ever made such an offer, and we want the recipients to be able to complete their dream —not just take a bunch of windows and doors to sell to others or pile them up and never finish building their dream home.

What do you need to do to get a package of materials that will give you most of what you need to build a home?

Where are you doing it?

How will you get the materials to your site? Who is going to help you build it so as so be sure it is possible?

Do you have the funds to buy the nails, screws, and other parts we can’t supply? You cannot complete the tasks without these things; in fact, you cannot get approved to pick up materials without answering these questions.

Do you have access to the tools to do the work?

Do you have a place to store your materials while you are building?

Do you have land to build on? If not, no need for materials.

Do you have the help to bring with you to load the trucks or trailers you bring? I do not have the money to pay to load your stuff too.

Why do you want to build a house out of salvaged materials?

How old are you and your team that will build the house, community, or project? This could be for the community kitchen, a home for an elder, child, or yourself, but there will need to be others to help build it out, and thus be capable.

When can you get here? This will be a scheduled series of arrivals and loading out for a day each, hopefully moving quickly so others can come too. There will be limits on our time and ability to process people.

What will you do for 2025-2026 to create a home for you or one you love?

Are you self-insured for your health or accidents? You will need to sign a liability waiver for your time on the property while gathering and loading. If you get hurt in any way for any reason, it is your responsibility to fix yourself, pay for doctors, and not sue me for trying to give you a chance to build a home. Yes, some would try to sue for the big lottery win, and I do not want anyone like that here on my property.

Are you physically able to load your stuff or walk in warehouses that are not handicapped-accessible? Regrettably, the warehouses are not wheelchair-accessible, and no areas are wheelchair-accessible. The danger and risk are too great, and I cannot ensure anyone’s safety. If you expect me to ensure your safety, stop now. Do not answer questions or think you can come, as I cannot accommodate special needs during this period. I do not have the staff.

As I bring this chapter of my life to an end, you can benefit and grow a career, a home, or an idea. What will you do with this opportunity? Share?

When are you able to come to load, and how many people can you bring to help so that the loading goes quickly?

Are you able to give us some money in advance, or do you need everything provided for free up front? Obviously, we need some money to operate, keep the lights on, and pay the people who will be here to help others, so those who can make an up-front offering will be put at the front of the list.

Having a thousand dollars to start on a whole trailer full of stuff does not seem out of reach or beyond possibility, but I realize it can be impossible for some, and likely means they do not have the means to build out a house, too. We will consider each case and do our best to help those who deserve it most and have the greatest chance of successfully building their homes, to demonstrate to others that this is possible.

Do you have the funds to proceed once we provide the doors, windows, and other parts, or are you dead broke and this trip would wipe out your savings? I do not want this to be your demise, so I want to be sure you can complete the task once you start.

Are you willing to come volunteer and help others load their goods, and possibly participate in some building to learn how to do siding, roofing, or other aspects, as we will keep a couple of projects going for training while these next few months pass?

I have packages that you could use and pay me for in the future, knowing some will not come through, but it is a chance for you to thrive, grow a business, and enjoy being alive to help others.

Depending on the outcome, if we get support and help from others around the world, there might be a school here to teach others how to build. Alternatively, there may only be an empty building and a memory —a vacant building that will house the dead dreams that could have been but never manifested for lack of public interest; it was gathered and meant to house one day. That dream may turn into a giant fire and blaze as the new year arrives.

Ultimately, 30 years of efforts to teach others how to create homes from salvage will be shuttered and left behind. I will write books, maybe never to be read, but assuredly, the opportunity for hundreds to build houses from the saved treasures will be gone forever by the end of the year. I had hoped this facility would provide working spaces for small businesses building chicken coops, dog houses, people houses, and more from salvaged materials, and that this would take off and help many. Instead, no one seems to want to help that dream come true by investing their money, time, or effort, so I can honestly say, as I shutter these operations, that I gave it 30 years and was proven wrong.

Onward, without a great plan to help the many when this is gone. I will write some books for those who do want to build the most environmentally sustainable, healthy houses possible. It was a plan without the necessary support of people who wanted to fix the problems of toxic housing. Clearly, not an issue for the majority of Americans, even though they and their loved ones will suffer for a lifetime because of problems with modern construction. No matter, no worries, no solutions coming down the line, as the builders perpetuate the problem by building cheaper, lower-quality homes and charging more for them year after year as the quality nose-dives.

If you want to participate and possibly get the materials to build a home, start by writing a paper that answers these questions. If you are a likely candidate and we agree, we will get back in touch with you within a few days of receiving your answers to these questions, and we may send a follow-up questionnaire to those who qualify based on their answers.

My goal is to find some people who deserve this opportunity so they can prove to others what is possible. I hope to inspire others to go into the business of salvage mining, salvage building, and hunting down the treasures to save before they rot or burn to the ground. Please share and see who you might help into a great home for life. Also, get that community started for the no-vax, organic, and homesteading lifestyle, so new tribes can grow healthy and toxin-free.
