Hidden behind an incredible home with trees above for shade, the chapel comes to life with parts that may seem somewhat strange at first, but the styles merge to be a marriage made in Heaven.
What a Plum to taste and see, and located on Plum street no less, in a town called Plum. Humm.
Nearly finished, looking out from the inside.
Why not have color in our world? This is an example of the energy it brings to this chapel. Here is the guy that made it happen in Texas, just before he moved to Tennessee.
Would you believe that thanks to the sales at our Tiny Texas Houses Warehouses, she was able to buy windows of this sort, siding for the inside walls, floors, and more, for less than $5,000 not including doors, by searching out and designing her SpaceMagic rooms from what I had in store. Never to be duplicated, it is a one-of-a-kind Chapel that will host many weddings over time.
What does your dream chapel, house, or getaway look like in your dreams? Why not use these great examples of what can be to see what you can do too? If you need help with the designs or the parts to define your look, let me know. I can help. Brad@TinyTexasHouses.com
The reason is simply that that is where the greatest finds are hiding. Decidedly, if you knew what to look for and how to value it, then convert it to money or a house, you would see it.
Ignorance is not bliss. Suppose you think that, and you are one of the blissfully ignorant people in the world, do not bother reading any further. I do not want to destroy your blissful life. For those seeking their fortune through all avenues, looking in places others do not, to find solutions that others do not even seek, is a simple and peaceful way to live without the unnecessary stress that society seems to add to our lives. Participation is not required for all the bad habits, self-destructive behaviors taught to us by TV and other mediums of marketing that seem to lead people into making stupid decisions that cost them their financial security, their health, and their future before they even realize they have been bamboozled out of their dreams and life goals, traded for debts for things they do not need or want a decade later.
What sort of home will bring you happiness? Must you have a home in the exclusive neighborhoods with the private gates that lock out the world? Do you need to be in a subdivision with only one way in, surrounded by a maze of streets full of copycat houses and lawns, to feel normal? If so, this path to meaningful and healthy living is far from the course you are likely on. Perhaps, in time, when your health and wealth are at risk, you will reexamine your priorities in life and love. For many, the big house, fancy cars, jewelry, and other possessions are all they think they need to find happiness. Yet, once attained at a significant cost to healthy family life, or even consumed by the job to the point of not having a life beyond it, they often find that these things are not enough. It is killing you with the stress and bad eating habits your occupation and lifestyle bring with them.
Your party may feel good while you are in the high zones, but you are inevitably doomed to decline because your body can not hold up to abuse from eating garbage, drinking alcohol, and taking in food full of toxins.
What changes to your lifestyle are you willing to make to become more youthful, energetic, and innovative, and to maintain your well-being well into your seventies, rather than decline into ill health, pain, and the need for care, including diaper changes? What are you planning on for the second half century of life? Are you already stepping into your grave early due to your poor behavior, inability to control what you put in your mouth, and lack of daily exercise? What is your dedication to fitness and aging gracefully? If the answer is none, stop reading and go back to just getting upset at people like me for pointing out that there is no easy way to age well. It takes some workouts, self-discipline, and time dedicated to improving every day, rather than sitting in front of a TV or monitor and watching your life and health slip away. Why age that way?
I do not just create tiny healthy sustainable houses for the sake of doing it, but to show others how to do the same and thus find success, excellent health, and longevity in a desirable style, not just in a bed, barely alive. It is not your big houses, cars, jewelry, wealth, or power that keep you youthful and healthy; it is your daily habits. What are you doing to yourself, and will you change to improve, or ride the body downhill, tumbling painfully into your grave one day?
The decisions you make daily are what determine how you will age, both physically and financially. Most people did not account for inflation and the rising costs of housing as they aged, and therefore did not plan for this economy or the loss of many benefits that were previously taken for granted. The system is not supporting those who fall into the streets, end up homeless, and sick with cancer or worse, debilitating, painful, and slow deaths. Stop the madness of self-destruction without any good reason to continue going downhill in your life. Take a moment to consider what will be important in ten or twenty years, nothing more so than your health. Why not focus on making the most of your life now, rather than following others into a life of sickness they hope will end painlessly and soon, rather than looking forward to the decades yet ahead with a love for life? Many people think life is a curse.
Tiny Texas Houses was created to show others that there is a path to great, healthy living that does not include all the symbols of wealth. Good health is better than money in a safe; in fact, I dare say that Steve Jobs, the creator of Apple, would have given all his massive wealth to stay alive, but his stressful life and choices to prioritize being there over taking the time to care for his health. He died young compared to me, as I hit 70 this year. Would I trade my life without his billions to then die younger than I am now? No, the wealth is not worth my life. Is it worth yours? I gave up many things, but it was easy. I killed off the person I was prior to fifty years old and created a better human being through focused effort on my diet, workouts, and most importantly, my belief systems.
What is most valuable to you? God is that for me, and my job on Earth is to help make it a better place for those who will follow me, which is my assignment. Nothing is more important to me than taking care of my body, as it is an essential aspect of fulfilling my life’s mission. To fulfill my duty, I must perform at levels few humans do and will, for I believe in my purpose and my life mission, and nothing short of death will stop me from achieving my goals. Find your power in your instincts and goals. Then follow them, do the great things you were destined to do with the confidence that you are not just normal, you can excell and proceed to accomplish what others dare not even consider for they do not have the fortitude, willpower, or desire to be heroes in a world that needs more examples for the kids to follow that will lead them to great places instead of becoming drug addicts on the streets.
Please consider joining me as Wii, the ones who can see and do what others cannot, and help fix this mess that the few megalomaniacs at the top are trying to control and manipulate to the disadvantage of all other humans and beings of any sort that might resist their authority. This madness must stop, and it will be us, the resistance, with the willpower, smarts, and willingness to join together and create a new World Union of Beings that takes down the liars, corruption, and wars that are fought for power, riches, and control, not to create peace on Earth.
You have to keep a smile, be happy, and optimistic to make the world a better place. Not angry, distrustful, and determined to get over on everyone you meet by taking advantage of their weaknesses. Sadly, that is the chosen path of many in the world today. Please do not become one of them, but instead become a Wubber, a person who believes in the power of our spiritual energy that inhabits this bag of saltwater and critters that humans call our body and home while alive on Earth. Without the Spirit and God working within, many are simply water balloons waiting to pop and oblivious to their meaning, value, or potential in life. It is a sad fate for them, but they do exist by choice. Let them be and instead, become the example for them to follow out of the darkness they choose to live in someday.
Stop the madness by becoming a voice and power that will help change the world for the better instead of simply complying with those who are abusing power now. Become the shining light, a member of the Light Brigades that have been promised to arrive when the time comes for us to win the final battles against the evil forces, some attribute to Satan. Call it what you will, the evil is organized, intent on our demise as a resistance to their will, and they will do all they can to take out this force they can.
Yes, many parts and pieces have been salvaged and used, then taken apart and passed along to become an ever-different construct of the House Art Designer caliber.
If I were to strike a deal that would require me to move away, part of it would be to keep the best of the decorations that you see. The form of a composition that is just a stage, indeed, not to code but an abode that was formed during dreams. Nowadays, the codes dictate the climb and tread you need to access the second floor, or any space, indeed, but for centuries, the world used these.
With Rocky protecting me from the middle landing, I can rest assured nobody will get up to the studio where I will write or draw for hours a day. This is his way of saying he loves Mii for he knows we share an unconditional love.
From the Train Depot in St. Louis, where the windows once allowed ticket agents on the back side to do their work and, even more, to help spread light and see each other, an interaction facilitated through the decorative glazing known as glass. In this case, I added my favorite pieces, and with a few screws, it all comes together.
Doors that once had glass are great for beaded wood and more, soundproofing for studios sandwiched in between. Imagine with such hardware, and doors two inches thick, the soundproofing as well as protection from the ills that might be on the outside, locked out secure with looks that kill. With a knocker and a very thick door, you can feel relatively safe, but even more, block the noise from what’s outdoors.
Create A-Door-able ceilings you can remove with a few screws. Beams of Walnut that can come down with a bolt or two as well. Why not just add pieces that can be taken and traveled with? Your favorite things need not end up in the landfill if it brings you happiness to save them and move on. These days, so much gets torn down, and little of it is saved. However, I cherish such things, so I build them to come down again and be used in other creations. Might get sold too. Check with me to see if Wii pulls the trigger and agrees to change our world and perspective.
Stainless steel works great for kitchens, and the sheets that were installed to protect the walls, the glass shelves floating freely, and the entire creation can be easily detached from the wall. Guess what? The stainless steel all started as stainless steel walls in bathroom stalls, commercial style. Split apart with some added art using a wire wheel brush, it becomes a kitchen wall instead of one in the head… navy version.
Savor the chance to create with pieces and parts that you can take with you if the house sells, but the buyers will build something else instead, and you get to keep your goodies, rather than watching them be crushed or burned. Save our Salvage is a path for many to have all they can desire, and keep much of it for their whole life, no matter where they move.
This is a house for tiny people young & old. It is a home much different than the sort defined as trailers. Its a portable building w/o wheels attached: It uses tax Loopholes to roll.
I know that when I start a house, it will look like trash to some who see it fitting together organically. I wander through the warehouses, listening for the calls of the wood and trim to go around the windows and doors. In this case, the Bear and Claw trim will surround the house, just enough, I think, to have it look fantastic when repainted, a big job.
I realize, as I compose with dirty, dusty parts that cleaning will expose, that they have great character and grain that few will see as I screw and nail. Later, when it gets washed and oiled, some of it painted, all of it just toil, human energy working to compose from the parts a house one could live in that might win some hearts. What I see in my head as I screw each board and beam is likely not the same as what the other people see. I find myself composing with parts I run across as I wander through the warehouse, as I would with customers.
Show me what you like and how you envision growing a house, and I can help you find the parts and design the home to get started. Then you can see workers locally who will be able to handle the assembly. It will be cheaper to use those who live near you to employ than to ship it across the country, with high costs and no joy. From any distance, it’s as if by magic, we can work together using phones, videos, and pictures, and with pleasure, see your house materialize on your land to be your pride and joy.
So, imagine what you might like in a tiny getaway. Come and search for parts you like to tell your own story. I can help by sketching parts and creating plans for those who love House Art and want to give their best to build a healthy house again, just as we used to do. I remember taking down so many homes that were shipped around by Sears and Montgomery Ward to be built in small towns across the land. I have the parts and pieces to build houses once again so that you can do all the things you see on the land that you live on.
Join me in the escapades of creating homes and communities. Don’t think that only tiny homes can grow from salvage, for I have shown that big houses can be built from salvage, too. How about checking out the dreams you have for homes and creating them with healthy materials, free from imports and toxic parts that outgas and cause significant harm, yet are still used every day? I do not wonder, nor should you fear, that anyone can go wrong when you use the best of the past to build a future you can live in with pride. May you have the chance to create the vision or the dream you will. Thank you for following and watching. You can then bring others to buy, and you’ll win the parts you need to help bring your dream to life. Yes, you can earn commissions by selling what some people need in the town where you live if you tell them, perhaps bring, your friends and relatives who may be considering building a home or have a barn they want to modify to create a condo hidden inside. Please let us know so that you can see the many deals I will offer, in addition to what will be free to the people who come to help move things and load up the windows, doors, and other items.
Join us on weekends, as I will be taking appointments into June to work with as many people as possible and help them along. Do you want to get the parts? The doors, windows, and trim that we need to start designing to create a plan for wood throughout the house.
We can offer it at a lower price than Sheetrock if you visit our June and July Super Sale to clear warehouses that have been sitting idle for a long time. Come for a chance to build with the wood on ceilings and the walls, the floors, and in the loft, we can create houses that no one will ever know was made from trash… or salvage, as some know, certainly not worthless if you use it to build a home. I have proven that this can be done, not just well, but while having fun. Create without perfection for perfunction is all we need to have a home that will last for a lifetime, and still be able to roam.
Want more information? Make comments, share, and visit the websites where the articles will guide you on how to build them correctly. TinyTexasHouses.substack.com or TinyTexasHouses.com for more information, or to answer questions you may have. Become a paid subscriber and get discounts and much more, including the chance to make a good living selling parts for other homes. If you sell Cobalt Roofing tile for a home or two, you might earn enough commission to cover all the parts you need to build your own.
Why not open up your mind to making money with your time by sharing your knowledge with others? Then, tell me what they are searching for, come with them if you can, and explore the possibilities in their collections. This could become your side gig for earning an income by providing services such as locating, helping pick out, shipping, and more for all of the windows, doors, floors, trim, siding, ceilings, lofts, beams, hardware, and other items. Yes, you could barter your time and services for salvaged materials to legally avoid being taxed on your income. The IRS cannot value salvage, effectively treating it as trash for tax purposes, until cash exchanges hands. Time is Free. I’d rather barter and trade than pay taxes, if I can do it legally. See the logic and the law: Rather than paying taxes on wages earned from working full-time. This is a way to fill in your weekends and make more profit than during the weekdays. Ready to step up to being a salesperson for salvage miners, builders, and more? Why not?
You might see a commission full of all the parts that you may ever need.
How easy can it get? Or, better yet, if harder, how fast can you reach your goals, find success, and make a lot of money if that is what you want to get when you are done helping us empty a significant portion of our warehouse nests?
We have enough beams, flooring, trim, siding, windows, doors, and much more than most would need to build a few hundred small houses, a few large ones, or hundreds of tiny houses spread across the land.
What do you see in your future that we can help meet the demands that it takes to build with quality and an ethos worth preserving?
Quality in building houses that last a lifetime or two. Such is the story of the wood I use, which still has hundreds of years of life, like the windows and doors, without trees being cut, without any more energy wasted, either human or electric.
If you come and spend an evening after working hours to see the warehouses and choose to stay overnight in a B&B, then you can also go swimming if you wish. Kayaking, or even hiking in the woods, will certainly ground you and help you focus on manifesting your dreams, so that they live on long after us. This is Dragon’s Lair, over 20 feet deep right now, and was a dream I fulfilled when I was 66 years old. Never stop dreaming, creating, and believing in the miracles of a wonderful God. Exemplify what is possible and grow solutions with your life energy daily. Blessings to your dreams coming true if you are willing to work for them and believe, then do what you must do to make them happen for you.
#Youthing through grounding, creating, and having faith that I am on a mission worth living my best for and lasting as long as possible. This is a matter of breathing right, moving well, staying limber, and eating well. Honor thy vessel, the most essential home for your Spirit to reside in, and then create the houses that will protect your boat and your family, your community, no matter where you roam, with salvage.
This is the best approach I know and have tested to demonstrate that the Proof of Concept is ready to proceed. Now, how do I let others grow this business ever on, for I can’t wait forever before I am gone?
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.
Are you living freely when you are looking to be the best that you can one day become instead of going downhill from where you are, even if you are a teen.
What do you see that could be considered trash, thrown in a landfill instead of being turned into a house? By many people’s standards, this house is junk… just trashy from the start. What will it look like when it is rebuilt? Watch and see, as well as join Mii for sales of parts and pieces, designs to help you build, and consulting from a distance, so that you will succeed if you have the will. Join Mii through subscriptions and stay up-to-date with all the information you need, as well as have the opportunity to ask questions if you have a project to complete.
Trim from the 1930s and siding from the early 1900s. All the pieces are from many decades past, so that no new trees get cut to create this tiny house. All the glass was made a century ago, as well as the hardware that will go on the doors and windows. Sustainable in ways that no new material can be, based on the resources or the human energy, salvage is the best way to save on time, materials, and is free.
I bought this railing for a job in Round Top in 2010. I have wanted to put them in a house for 15 years. The time has come. Like it? Cypress railing from the 1890s.
There will be a deck below as well as a pole to tie into the one above. Imagine a deck extending above and across the front to the other side, with an additional upper deck to connect and complete the wrap-around. How does that sound? Herbs and veggies growing on your balconies.
There’s a lot of scraping to do before painting, but the color selection will lead to an incredible house. There are many details to attend to, but when completed, it will look like a lot of fun instead of work. With a passion and inspiration, it’s not work, just life hours spent creating a gratifying thing called a home. Pour your heart into our home, and you will find why Home is where the Heart is when you’re done. Blood, Sweat, and Tears go into building our own homes with our hands, feet, and minds involved.
This house is called the “Loopholer” because it was designed to circumvent the Neighborhood regulations that prevent one from placing a tiny house in a station near their home. Neighborhoods that do not want to see you have a place to go besides the house that Wii all know is not the same as a studio. Meditation or creation, whether as an artist or for personal health, the extra space is valuable. Yet, you must use stealth to enter many yards where the Neighborhood Association acts as if it were a Czar and has the right to tell you nearly anything it wants about how you live and what you build on your lot. It’s under 140 square feet and does not have a bathroom, a kitchen, or a way to prevent it from being placed in your backyard in many of the places where they have stopped so far.
June Sale starts in just a few days, so please plan, watch, get your goals list together, and think about what you might need to get started in June and July of 2025 to make your dreams for a tiny getaway house come true—Brad@TinyTexasHouses.com for more information.
Once I saw what others had proven could be achieved, like the 4-minute mile, I decided to agree and tap into my Placebo Power to achieve incredible effects. For a crippled kid w/ lifelong scoliosis: How good can it get
You can not read a book from the outside without opening the leather covers, but the story underneath is seldom what you think, and so was I. I did not know who I was yet, or what I would yet be at thirty, let alone that Wii do not grow up until nearly seventy. What a ride it would be, and none of us can see what’s yet to come, some used to say. That is not true.
If you had told me when I was 30 that I would be in better shape at 70, I would have laughed so hard I would have cried. What a joke that would have been when I could barely get out of bed each day, in pain and hurting to walk, I never saw this day. I looked good when I got straightened out, and with pot to kill the pain, I gave it up when Adam was 11, while he was very young and got used to the hurting, but sometimes barely walking at all. I overcame some limits when I began to smoke pot again, so that I could get past the pain I still had when I began working out with weights, so that I could stay stronger than my kid.
The six-pack was the classic test to see if you were fit, but it didn’t reveal anything about the spine, the gut, or the heart. You can look like a million bucks, but harbor anger in your heart that destroys the happiness you seek, despite what you see that may appear good. Being candy is a curse as it causes so many to pretend they care for more than fantasy, a path that always ends.
My son grew up to 6’4”, but I could only gain and add more muscle. For the first time, I worked out in a gym with weights and gained a lot of strength with Muscle Milk and a high-calorie diet. Then I got hurt, my bursa swelled, and the left-hand usage went to Hell. I could not work out, as I saw the flab quickly replace the muscle in my abs. Love Handles… Hell No and so much more did go as the year of my life changes came to Mii as I tore a giant hole in my gut, an upper abdominal hernia became the last thing to happen to Mii to make me stop.
I would put my gut back into the hole the size of two and a half fingers in my gut. The doctors said I had to have surgery to make it right. I disagreed. They said I could not heal the hole. It’s been nearly 20 years, I know, but I am finally near. The new toys that emit light, you see, and vibrate at a frequency that helped me heal the last of my Mii, finally allowing me to see this body in my 70s. So I could look normal every day. Still, the scoliosis got worse later as I grew to be a father to a son who grew much taller and motivated his Daddy (Mii) to get in better shape when I was just past forty. We went out playing paintball for half a sunny day, and the next day I woke up feeling like a truck had run me down and realized at forty-five, I had to work out to keep up, but how? I gave up on keeping up, and when Adam passed, I learned at last what it meant to die inside.
How can one know that, just as a child, the problems you have started with can disappear over time? No one ever told me that, instead that I was broke and the best hope was be crippled and take your beatings without words. Someone should tell children that they can recover from the many traumas of our youth when Wii believe and grow. Year by year, and then by decades, few of us are taught that there is a way to regenerate and become #Youthful once again. #Youthing is a state of mind that lets your body leave behind preconditioned notions that it must look like crap with age. Stop believing what you see on TV to sell you makeup and learn that health encompasses your whole body, not just its appearance.
Your head and heart, your gut and spirit, all play a part in the people who affect your life from the moment it starts. Few things are by chance, I say, though some will think differently. I have found that most is intended, and Wii are meant to do most of what Wii do. Every time I thought I saw that magic answer or great pill that would give Mii a new way to stay young, it was just a way to do what could be done quite naturally, but no one told us what to do.
Now Wii have the science. The evidence suggests that grounding our body and practicing deep breathing brings significant health benefits. Stop ingesting poison daily, toxins in the food, and get the exercise to help your body clear the rest. Build a better body in just seven years; you’ll see that the path to youthful living is the secret to longevity. Activity is what it takes to keep the body you make as strong and limber as possible, so that it stays that way until the very end. Once your time is up and you decide to leave behind the body that your spirit inhabits, that will pass just fine, for you know you lived the best of your life and fulfilled it to the end, and you move on.
The color stumped me as I bought this pattern from three different flea market vendors over a years time. They were not from the same house or state… but all the same color.
Eventually, I came across another old-timer who knew more about the trim of the past than I did. It turns out that the catalog images were in color by the 1930s, and pastels, as well as other new color schemes, were being marketed. In this case, the trim came in the color of the paint pictured in the catalog. What a great novelty to sell with in a day when catalog sales were King. Sears, Montgomery Ward, JCPenney, and many other retail catalogs were touting items to ship by train to your local town. Here are some of the things you would see on a train from the catalog stores in the old days.
Windows and doors with their trim, jambs, and even entire houses could be ordered by catalog and dropped off at the local train station where armies of carpenters would be available to put the packages together in areas that were developing, particularly along railroad lines as these packages came before the time of the cross country trucking industry that could reach small towns. Rails were the path to riches out west and enabled the shipment of all products milled in Galveston, Houston, and other coastal towns, utilizing shipping and ports to increase commerce in and out of Texas in the 1800s.
You can see one of the doors, some trim, beaded wood, and windows of several eras assembled for this project. This house project began seven years ago, before my sabbatical from business. It was created as a teaching tool and a seminar-training house, and as a consequence, it has a few remnants of historical inaccuracy. I am hiding mistakes fairly well, enough for perfunctionism to apply. This has many things that even a young teenage girl can help install. I created a design using the organic selection from the massive inventory when students were putting things together in a hurry. Not a worry, but it shows when you get to the trim. OMG funny.
So the parts and pieces, 95% Pure Salvaged Materials, brought back to life, have saved a tree and many calories of heat required to make the glass. The labor for making the windows and doors was also saved, a significant amount at today’s labor costs for unskilled help. The trim will need repainting, but the ease with which it went on made up for that. I trimmed out the front in about two hours, maybe three, counting the time spent sorting through the trim to find where the stack would fit. By the general organic building miracle of synchronicity, the parts were just enough: four inches long on the corners. Between all the broken pieces, I have enough to build one tiny house in a very unusual style. I have enough of this Bear Claw Trim to do another house, but I doubt you or I will see it again.
One of my preferred options is to see this sell to someone who will play a part in helping set up the trust with land and materials to build out another 40 houses to stay on the ten acres, and spaces to teach others how to launch their Outposts as local Co-ops to fuel the growth of this industry. I hope you will like the progress and share it so others can see what is possible. If they come to get the materials packages for a few thousand each, they could build houses like this at your location, creating the most amazing lifelong treasures you can live in and call art. Master suites are where Wii sleep at night, not do everything at all times. Offices and kitchens, laundry spaces are just fine, but not in my master bedroom, where my rest and recuperation is my focus when I proceed the half mile walking grounded (leather on the Earth for a half mile before I sleep and after I awaken is amazingly energizing and calming as I go to my house each night. I’m free.
I have a space to sit and chat or delve into discussions, where no one bothers us when someone else is present. I love spending intimate time with the one I love, but I’m not fond of the public visiting to see what’s going on. My private space is my tiny house, and Trinity has hers, so that Wii get to sleep each night and rise without a care. Dream great dreams and heal each day to become the best in every way. This is where I go to sleep, a special time for meditation and breathing.
The time I seek when I’m there is one without a care for the world that I will leave behind when my pillow meets my head. Savor and give gratitude when you have a dream space that you can hold in your heart. Home is where the heart is, but some of us get confused into thinking a big box of Sheetrock is a home with a heart that effortlessly exudes the quality of love and life that a wooden house can do. They are not the same, and science now proves that the grain you see in the wood on the walls will bring your mind to ease. Like a fireplace that helps calm the mind that races, the soothing textures and colors naturally draw your eyes and brain in. So much to see and savor, like candy for the brain, and it helps to calm, ease the mind, and let you sleep each day without the stress of city lights, traffic, or EMF. A house that does not have them but is nestled in the trees.
Trinity has a house bigger than Mii, but well deserved indeed. It has the upgrades and the size to make this a delight to see. See the posts on her progress as she will soon be ready to pass the test of passage… to the resting space for this Tiny Texas Classic Gypsy Wagon Two.
This is not one of the sweetest houses, nor the biggest I have done, but the idea was to create many, so there would be lots to choose from, not just one, and inspire others to keep building and having so much fun creating artful houses that will suit nearly anyone. Want some Bear Claw trim to dress up the front of your home? I do have a little bit left, so please hurry and send an email if you’re interested in investing in a Tiny Texas House in Salvage, Texas, or if you’d like the trim for a tiny house on your land.

This was a seminar house from before Wii mothballed things and let that Covid wave go thru. Now that it is over, are you ready to succeed? Why not build a business to make healthy houses seen?
Are you planning to live in a giant house until you die? If so, you must be rich to prepare for all the taxes as you try to stretch the savings that you did not anticipate the fall of the dollar’s value after all. Some will work until they die to have the space, but wonder why the cost goes up so fast indeed; they seldom keep them past their needs as they age out. I find that space can be a gift but also a curse, with the cost of holding on to all, the collections, and the things Wii like to call our own.
Welcome to the sales that start and allow you to create your Art Houses. A package complete with windows and doors, as well as trim and the wood for floors. No need for shitrock if you build it right, so the toxins from the modern houses do not make you sick. Plan to build a home for wealth by keeping it tiny and creating it for good health. You may be happier without the debt if you get a smaller house instead. Most do not need big, and builders don’t make small. What is right for you may not be on the market at all. Dream of your version of a home that you might have for a lifetime in a woodsy place with gardens and the time to find your peace and solitude to enjoy your time.
What is your dream for a house imagined as just right for the life you love? Imagine you could pick some floors, walls of wood, and ceilings for the beaded wood you have in store. Create an Art House full of wood and windows that were once made good, Glass hand-blown, and ways to put it together. Why not have a house built for a place to get away or more, to call your master suite, apart from the home or the city, as a brand new start? Salvage your old body or life to make it great, and do it with the pieces that will last and keep you safe. No toxins in the house to make you sick when you get old, and the money you will save will let you chase your passions on a life that is free from the pitfalls that cause most to stall.

Handmade glass blown from the lungs of men who sucked up air and blew it into a ball of molten glass to form the bubbles that became our window panes. Amazing what some can do with sand and fire.
Here is a new window for the Loopholer to share with the generations that will see what someone made with care. Long ago, they pulled the coal and melted sand to make this mold full of glass that few would know could last a century or more. Now, I use it for the sight that I suspect will delight those who see the many versions of one image as it’s converted into many identical parts, not pieces separated, but each complete, like us, inside.
Imagine picking out the minerals that would cool to make these colors in the molten glass cooking in an oven filled with coal pulled from mines by twelve-year-olds. There was a time when all worked to refine the metals and the ores that formed our great society before we lost it all. Something happened to wipe out the skills and memories of how we made such wonders, and with so few people on the Earth to do those things. From my point of view, the elders of long ago seem pretty bright compared to all the people I usually see now. What changed? Electricity, education, lack of work ethic, or training? What caused our society to forget how to be so creative and industrious as to create such things as there once were but can not be found today? How did such memory and skills fade away?
From handcrafted cabinetry with no veneer, just the Tiger Oak you see, and the natural colors, the great old grain, the things that make the old things seem so special and strange. This is what I want to save and know the kids will too, once they see that most of what was made has been wasted before it was due to be obsolete or worthless to the people who could see its value now. Quality is easy to see in the stuff that was made in the last century. Let’s preserve and reuse all that we can find and save to stall the loss of all the past we knew when the people had the skills and creativity, too. Nurture this by showing the kids now born that this is still a thing that we appreciate this way.
Please wait until it’s finished, I often have to say, because it can look pretty ugly while the design is still in play. Watch the pieces fall in place as if an organic space finds and fills the voids to be a piece of art for all to see. Perfection is so overrated and often leads to copies made to look as if they are so fine, but made by the dozen for the artistically blind. What are you seeking in a master suite or two? How fancy of a kitchen with a space to eat and do all the things that do not need your bedroom nearby to share, and savor your isolation as you sleep the night away.
There are so many choices in the path that we create on our journey through this life we live, and many celebrate. If you want a chapel, I may have a part or two that could make your special spaces seem more incredible than most do. Join me in the hunt for treasures pulled out of the past as we celebrate the decades of collecting all about, and now to share the best of what we found to grow the crowd of houses that find new life that we all can celebrate. Sustainable, incredible, beautiful, and strong, these houses will last a lifetime.
May your prayers and blessings bring you the chance to finally see a path to getting what you want. Hopefully, you’ll see that this great sale and timing—yes, it’s 2025, and Wii—the people of the world have much to do to thrive. Break free of those decisions to downsize and live some more with the freedom, then travel and “YOUTH” your way to more fun than you ever had when working like a drone.
Savoring the Dayz is something all should do by understanding they can change the world if they do the work it takes to celebrate #Youthing, then it can be true.
Become a great example once you are free from the stress, with time to do the work it takes to get back in shape, and have a great time like I do. Learn to get your balance back, your strength and speed, there is so much. Once you do the work, an hour a day, four days a week… and see the difference you can make in how you age to regain your strength. Why not open up your mind to what could be more well-defined? Aging need not be so bad as I was taught when I was a broken young lad. You need not pay the price and never get better as you age, but you would not dare believe it unless you see how well this stage can be. I hope to help exemplify it so that you can be freed to #Youth your way to loving the day you hit 70, as I soon hope to be.
