You and the world around you will grow from a subscription to a tiny cottage, village, or more. It’s true. Why not consider this growing industry for a career?
Most do not believe they can achieve the dream of having three to five tiny houses in a cluster, call it an intentional village one day perhaps, that starts with just a few master suites hidden far away, with a kitchen and gathering house where family or friends can play. Yes, in a woods or mountain top, by a river, cliff, or more… your dream house can become more authentic if you begin to form it with the parts that come into your hands as if meant to be part of your dream. In the quiet of the night, in the morning, with sunlight, draw or sketch your dream and see that you can have it naturally. By slowly clarifying what you want to be spying you will soon find that the parts will come to play.
Important note for all who want to one day learn more or shop here: Please share and subscribe to support us, get gigantic discounts only to subscribers, and chances for free stuff, nights in the BnB, and the opportunity to open your Pure Salvage Outpost near you. NONE of that will be available if you are not a subscriber, Though you can use Air BnB without discounts, you do not even have an appointment to come to buy all the goodies in our warehouses, consult or take a tour if you are not on our subscriber list. We truly hope you decide to join, shop, share, and grow the Pure Salvage Living Renaissance soon to enable us to finish publishing the books, videos, and other resources that will enable many others to build a future out of Salvage.
This subscription to TinyTexasHouses.Substack.com as a source of materials, plans, and answers to your questions while creating your paradise is a precious resource. I hope you will join in supporting the dispersal of the lessons, the materials, and the network of elders I hope you will be part of or share the opportunity with so they can help the few kids and people who do want to learn how then do what it will take to Make America Great Again truly.
Will you have the etchings to help ease the itching for a tiny house you could build one day? Want to learn how to create a tiny house on a weekend or a week? Want the parts to be built without the toxins, imports, or unsustainable products that add to pollution and cost a big chunk of change? I would subscribe to creating your future by salvaging the best from the past. It is the only path that will get you to the organic life, the intentional community that does it all American instead of with Chinese imports. Better yet, subscribe here for the books on becoming a Salvage Miner, Salvage Builder, or Salvage Hunter for a career in the fun lane.
I ask these simple questions because some don’t know that manifesting takes a clear idea to set the stage. Then, on the reality stage, you can build your visions and be understood when you define them to the people you will see who can help you manifest them, thus making them come to be. Whew… yes, you do have some work to do… crafting out the things you know, like a wooden floor and antique windows, classic trim, perhaps stained glass, and if you can, why not have a blast and create a cottage you could live in for a lifetime if you feel it? A master suite gives you a place to sleep, to rest or write, to meditate, and a private and personal space. Sharing kitchens, even baths, is not the same as bedrooms; if one is looking to simplify, community helps unify.
Why have so much we can share with other honest people where you live together, knowing that your part is worth your “being there”? Helping grow the jungle of food with natural means letting the birds, the frogs, the fish, and the trees grow well without the world’s poisons is the only way to produce a space where survival is not just for the human race. So few think that to salvage all, they need to build the best of all without polluting, killing trees, or transporting ships across all the seas. What will you offer if you seek to be a part of a unique place?
How about supporting the network that will bring together the Carpenter, farmer, mechanic, or more? Your knowledge is valuable, your skills even more, and your actions that create things make you gold for the world of intentional communities where each person can bring talents that make launching possible by becoming part of a network devoted to salvaging the best of our past and teaching others how to thrive by creating an incredible future with the treasured parts of the past. The kids we teach today will inherit the Earth we leave them with and care for us when we need it later. Let us be sure they have the skills to do it right.
The beautiful colors of the past, like this milk-painted Long Leaf Pine, do not have lead-based paint to be concerned with, formaldehyde outgassing like plywood, the dangers of sheetrock, acrylic acid from latex paints, or gasses from vinyl that emulate estrogen when breathed in at night. It is actually possible to build a much healthier and Earth-friendly house from salvage than any other way and be more energy efficient in the building process and the life of the house.
Without the life skills that come with doing the work and making it happen, there will be little more than talk, plans, and wonder at the failure of the group to reach a goal. Tools, knowledge, materials, and human energy are required for any intentional community to form. Many people dream great dreams but do not know how to attain them, nor the people to teach them how. We want to change that, to give the skills, the means, and materials, and hopefully, inspire the support networks it will take to manifest a Pure Salvage Living Renaissance that will motivate many others to do great things in this time of great need. (“Song of Salvage” Mining Music Johnny B & the Apostles of Salvage) Please help us create this solution to the problems at hand as people attempt to rebuild after a crisis, storms, or life force massive changes without all the resources and help that many will need to rebuild. This is the time to act and become the best you can be for yourself and those in your community.
Thank you for becoming an active part of the solutions it will take to create a fantastic future from the challenges that will come from 2022. So many people will need someone just like you. I pray that you can do what needs to be done by preparing in advance, not just depending on chance, to save the day. Don’t think that things can’t turn out any other way than what you have planned. Many are learning in this day and age, there is no absolute security, no genuinely safe place that you might not be affected as the world goes through the throes of changes brought on by storms that no one can stop. Blessings to those in the path of the storms. May your future be brighter than the one you have lost.
Yes, you can earn commissions and referral fees for telling your friends about us and getting their name to us with yours before they come to buy what they need to fulfill their dreams.
It does not matter where you live but who you know. You could make tens of thousands of dollars based on who you know if you can connect them to us to find the materials they need to build an incredible home. It is not a job; instead, it is an opportunity to make a significant income. Better still, it could develop into a career in the world of Salvage. It is not hard, nor does it cost you a penny to consider and talk to your friends about, and if they come to buy materials, you will make as much as 20% commission/referral for your connections and assistance. We plan to empty most of the warehouses by spring. Be a Salvage Hunter and find what your friends want or need as they build their homes, intentional villages, or getaways.
This is my way to try and extend the sharing of the wealth to others who engage in helping to create another paradigm in building houses from the best of the past instead of raping and pillaging the future of generations ahead. Stop wasting the best of the past and create a healthy, sustainable future instead of bigger landfills. Fifty percent of the landfills are from building materials being thrown away.
Not only can you save your friends money, but you can also connect them to resources that will help them create incredible houses, communities, barns, or other structures made out of salvaged materials. If you contact me and register your name for the referrals you generate, I can track your success with the sales that will net you up to 20% of the sale, even if it is a hundred thousand dollars. Imagine the nest egg that could come from simply knowing who needs the parts and pieces in our warehouses and connecting us so they can get them cheaper than anywhere else.
The quality of the materials is exceptional, and you only need to look on the TinyTexasHouses.com site or the TinyTexasHouses.substack.com to learn more about the various things that you could be turning your future clients as a referral agent. You will register them under your name and be the connection to get credit for their purchases. Those who choose to help can live anywhere, at any age, and it does not matter about age, race, political preference, or other factors that keep many from getting great opportunities to make an excellent income.
It might be your parents, best friends, or the person you meet in line at the big box stores who buy vinyl windows instead of higher quality wood windows for the same price or less. You can help the people you know to find the materials for their tiny houses or big ones and make money doing it at your leisure, not on an hourly pay basis but on a productivity basis such that if you find the person that purchases some of the Cobalt Blue Japanese Roofing Tile that might net you $5,000 and save them as much as it costs for the tile, literally less than half the cost for their roof could save them $30,000 on a high-end home. Why not think about the people you know, especially architects and builders who might want to save a million dollars on project costs? Condos, big houses, apartments, or commercial buildings that want an incredible roof that looks not only great but also is durable, hail resistant, algae build-up resistant, and will last for hundreds of years, not just deçades.
There are so many ways to put the treasured materials back together to make houses that will last for a lifetime, not a disposable RV like so many pay over a hundred grand for without any home of them maintaining value or appreciating. Tiny Houses built from wood, quality glass windows, doors, and hardware will not only be energy efficient, healthy, and sustainable but also a treasured heirloom you can leave to your heirs with pride.
Besides the roofing, metal, windows, doors, trim, flooring, and other parts, like vintage hardware, are all on the list of things you would be able to make commissions selling without having to invest money or come into my offices to work. You can do this from your phone and contact the people you know who need some of the inventory we have in stock now. I’m Not waiting for the parts to come into the store from China or other places far away, but it’s all American-made and ready now.
This is the best chance many will ever have to take the big step off the cliff of conventional living, to leap the Chasm at the Fringe to a new level and life. Are you ready to change course to see if you can leap into a new reality that lets you make money like never before? Are you one of the people who knows many people with the money to buy some of the inventory? Wood, Long Leaf Pine, Cypress, and Mesquite, to name a few of the woods you could add to your home or that of your friends. Your parents may be your clients from whom you get the referrals, or you may offer a big discount if you want to give it to them. Disclose to those you offer to help that you will make a referral fee to help get them together with us so they do not get mad later because you benefited from helping them, or give them the referral fee as a discount if you wish.
Please get in touch with me if this appeals to you at BWK@TinyTexasHouses. com. I do not wish to have dishonest people involved and will screen the people a bit to be sure they are not out telling tales as you will not by my paid representative or employees but by independent contractors who will only get paid if you sell stuff, and possibly make a million dollars in the next few years as there is a few million dollars that need to be sold, but better still, open a Pure Salvage Outpost as a local co-op so that you and others could create a training center an supply the people who can build the houses that are facing a growing demand for quality healthy and sustainable housing. Please consider how you can help your friends and neighbors make a living.
I have over 100,000 sf of warehouses full of everything anyone might need to build great classic tiny houses and make an incredible income by selling locally so as not to have shipping costs equal to the cost of labor to build a house. The secret to cheaper tiny houses will be in creating them locally so that the money stays in the community you choose to live in. That is the best of all worlds: more skilled kids to build tinier houses that let people live well until they die in healthy houses, not one that gives off formaldehyde, EDCs, and other chemicals outgassing for years after being installed in your house. Please build healthy homes and help others do so, too.
Finally, I have admitted that I am not going to hire employees and run a business for the rest of my life. While I am thriving doing the things that I enjoy, it is time to sell my true treasures from the past.
Being born a poor and crippled child in my youth, I did well for myself after reaching my thirties and giving up on working for anyone for long. After 30 jobs, including my stint in the US Army after high school, I got my VA benefits. I was a child of the Army life, traveling most of it away from the USA in Bolivia and Germany, and only in our country for the times my father went to Vietnam. I missed much of the American Pie era, and by the time Woodstock came, I was working after school and on weekends to have jeans and afford anything. Eventually, I could only be a Yippee, a working hippy, which led to my being titled the Willy Wonka of Tiny Houses. I wonder why?
As I decide what to do for the next few decades, I want to travel again after 20 years of not leaving my homemade ashram to where I was dedicated to doing what it would take to show what Salvage thinking can Create. This will become an embassy for salvage learning and growing intentional communities. Still, the time has come to pay off the lingering debts, empty the buildings, and take them down to transform them into many homes, community houses, libraries, and other parts of tiny intentional communities that I believe will evolve. I feel it is being driven by the separation between those who want babies exposed to technology from birth, cellphones, TV, and public schools that do not seek to create all geniuses by maximizing potential instead of quieting those who excel get bored by being unchallenged and want to learn more.
I finished college and came to Texas, living in a School bus conversion in 1984, believing Big Brother was much further from our front door than the book foretold by that time. I had $640 to my name, a dream to make a million so I could write without worrying about making it pay. Say what I had to say. It took nearly 30 more years of higher priorities, of being a father, working endlessly to make the millions it truly took to get freed, but in the 25th year, I lost my son, my identity, and my drive to succeed financially for the sake of leaving my legacy. It’s been a while, though the time went fast, and my sabbatical from business will likely last, so I must divest myself from things I saved to build my dreams; too many for one man, and so I plan to share and then will see. What will others do with the treasure I found as I hunted on the days when there were not many other salvagers around?
Since then, everything has changed, and I am not happy with the products our society is manifesting at this stage. I think I will continue dropping out to form again, but to do so this time, I will have to clear some shelves, free up cash to cancel debts and leave a trust that can teach others this stuff with what Wii can put together on the way. Wii are the ones who can see that the need is here and clear. Tinier healthy houses that could be transported or stay near, but for all the best reasons, built sustainably, are clear. NO imports or Toxins were constructed into the home to start, but seasoned wood and windows that stood the test of a hundred years and prove that they are still apparent, not a single one fogged up, and the energy saved by not making glass every few years is far more than the E-glass is worth. I swear that in the last eleven years of living in my Tantra Temple, the discipline of my salvage-minded lifestyle has paid off with a youthful body and mind.
There are so many ways to create new housing, and I have proven it can be done with as much as 95% Pure Salvage, and look beautiful, be fun, and last throughout a lifetime through the cold and heat of our hottest sun. Please consider sharing and promoting Outposts Co-ops in your town to teach the others who want to build these fantastic tiny homes and larger ones that will work when done for the gatherings and more, the community that works together and becomes more robust and confident, empowered for the skills and the respect thanks to the elders knowing how people built houses in the past, a genuinely unmatched treasure trove. Can the people see the ways to make our way into a phase where the cost of housing drops because we change the way we create it all? Stop the madness of McMansions and concrete on the ground instead of lawns, let gardens flourish, and reduce the hunger for all.
This is part of the Pure Salvage Living ethos that seeks to show how to grow a community from the treasures right on hand instead of importing unhealthy products from the pollution to the chemicals that they bring for you to inhale. It’s nasty, but the profits are good enough for marketing, shipping across oceans, and paying those who carry and sell parts. Why not cut out all that stuff and salvage mine or build with the parts and pieces all around, like we once did and could still do? Few remember when we built with salvage materials, but the national code created by the lumber barons forced the new construction to use only new wood, thus the death toll. The salvage business died, and they thought it went to Hell, but the cost of the alternatives has opened up the door.
Rather than one guy working 80-100 hours to make millions over a couple of decades, I recommend using the opportunity for salvage to benefit many people working together rather than one and splitting most of the profits up with those who do the work. The employee model needs to be put to death, and a path to producing to get paid, and if you produce more and better, get paid more and better because that is how it is established, not wait for a raise. The more people who build an organization and make a great living, the more significant that industry can grow. There is so little competition for building quality and tinier housing than the giant subdivisions that want giant profits and work with banks that do not want tiny loans. I worked my son’s childhood away to create a legacy he did not live to see and to learn there is a better way to live and manifest this dream. It can not be done alone, but with hundreds given the chance, the good people who will be honest and create art houses for those they love and care about for all the right reasons. They will do well as the demand exceeds any hope of the supply coming along unless local Co-ops form to teach easy new skills to the masses who do not have them due to losing jobs they had for decades, leaving them without hope of finding the same again, especially if over 50.
Anyone can build tiny organic houses that will give them and others excellent shelter and a home to live in until the day they die. Extra houses for the others in your life can be nearby, as many as seven on an acre, and hardly see each other with gardens to share and other spaces like the library for Wifi or other gatherings. A big kitchen and place for relatives and friends to visit but not for the masses to fill in the beautiful space left for the birds, beavers, otters, fish, possums, and other critters of nature living alongside. Chickens for eggs, animals that feed on the grasses and leaves, each giving back to balance out what we need to create a tiny community. A model is what I dreamed of, but where and how to do, except to now sell nearly all to pay off the land and build what Wii can do, the few that choose to steward Salvage, Texas when I am gone and inhabit it when back from traveling to share this lifelong song.
Live in a wooden house instead of concrete or glass, and see if you do not sleep. Live much better, grounding through your feet with glass handblown to let light in and protect you from the storms. Unlike all the other choices that often lead to strife, why not live in a luxury that is truly built with simplicity and the promise it will last for life? Renting leads to nowhere but its true most have to do unless you leave the city life and change your future route, it will be hard to live that dream or ever get a start. Share with others who can do and prep the country life for you to join later and help to form the intentional community that may become the norm for the people who want to stay free of dictates and possible wars.
Once again, the New Year comes, and I face the leap that requires me to give up the luggage from the past and leap the Chasm that comes ahead. This challenge has come: the choice to go back or forward again. Join Mii in sharing the bounty of my past and help me feel free, knowing I stewarded with care the solutions that so many need now that the times have come at last. This is part of what I saw so long ago in dreams, yet now it is my reality, and this is what I have to give. I came to do what must be done and believe Wii will have won when it is done. Keep the faith no matter how hard the leap may be to become the best that you can ever be.
See the light and leap with faith to become the star and lead. Grow the Outpost for those who choose to live out where the animals and birds share the trees and still fresh air. Join Mii in developing the places to leap to once the others see the Chasm must have leaped to reach their Truths. Prepare the path, be the example, and let everyone know that the path you pick to grow solutions is the best that Wii can show without Global Intervention and their corporate feeding codes. Build with DC, use the sun and wind to live near free, by building livable houses without turning on the AC. There is so much to learn that can be done to create a better world. This is what I wish to leave, may you share and live well too. It could have ended long ago, but an Earthworm changed how things would go. Who knew God could look like anything with no rules?
Wii can come so far to do so much and become what Wii can not imagine when young. Do not fear change, but always consider being different is a way to live well, not just normally. I plan to free up the opportunity to establish a trust with the funds generated from the Living Estate Sale; even if it is my favorite thing in life, I am hoping that together with others who love salvage building, Wii will get it into the right hands before I am done.
How do we shift the lending industry to consider loaning on more tiny houses? Wii, united, can develop communities where people can own houses and lease land for life. Where?
Life Estates are a way for people to live on land they do not own for life. Future costs would cover taxes and land maintenance for the whole community. That would limit the potential for debt and expenses not to burden the community’s inhabitants when they age out of income earning and retire. Furthermore, houses could be moved away to upgrade to bigger or better homes grown by adding a second house up to certain limits and providing for all most people would need in life, besides the tiny houses that people would live in, sharing the entire acreage with the others to ease the burdens of lawn care, house maintenance, and mechanical, as much of those responsibilities could be shared or paid for by the community, into the community if possible. This village would also have all the desired support facilities, like a small library and office house, a laundry room, a larger common kitchen for events and gatherings, and other amenities like a workout room, trails, swimming, and gardening. I imagine the spaces for growing food, like chickens and other critters, fish, and the chance to create the organic food many inhabitants would be sharing too.
Is such a model possible to prove this concept is a path for the future? I submit that the path is creating communities where people could situate and habituate a great life in their tiny houses. This is not an RV park or trailer park, but instead, true wooden and earthen houses built from superb materials that will last for a lifetime and also provide a healthy living environment, unlike recreational vehicles, van life, or other forms of survival that many are resorting to as housing costs force them out of the buildings and onto rubberized living or homelessness. Once in a status of homelessness, getting work, staying healthy, and mentally able to work hard and build a life back is hard, and not all people on the streets are the stereotypical druggy that no one wants to recognize exists. Before people are squeezed out of our society like that, alternatives can be created that will allow them to not fall so far before getting back up and learning new trades or skills that will enable them to thrive with a way to feed their family and house them, to fulfill the responsibility of being a parent, or a part of society by contributing and benefiting while helping create a community. These are the objectives of the Pure Salvage Living Renaissance that I started manifesting over 30 years ago.
After having rehabilitated the worst of drug zones, gang crime neighborhoods in Austin, Texas, that had prostitutes on the street, standing in the doorways of the one-hour room rental motel across the street from my real estate office, I decided to take time off to be a dad. The times and ways to change things are different, but it is possible to turn around bad areas and make them desirable to live in again. That is called gentrification in the places where housing costs rise due to demand, the taxes on the long-term elders rise to where they have to sell out, and in a few decades, few of the original middle-income inhabitants remain. Only the higher-income people can afford to buy big homes, pay taxes, and live in those now desirable areas. I was accused of gentrification by the time I left Austin, a word I had never heard or understood before. I could not afford to live in that area now.
In 1995, I moved away to Gonzales, Texas, to raise my 11-year-old son in a country town, thinking it would be better for his development and view of the world. That was not a good decision in retrospect, as the schools were abysmally bad, and he had to take remedial math classes even though he had been in Honors classes for most of high school. I enjoyed a few years playing and being a father before Adam, like most teens, got into hanging out with his friends more, so I went back to my workaholism and grew Discovery Architectural Antiques into the largest salvage store in the USA.
Then came Tiny Texas Houses, a way to put all of the salvage to use positively, building tiny houses to build a community here at Salvage, Texas, one day. Many years have passed, and I put a million dollars into preparation to make this offer to others who will carry on when I am gone. At 69 years old, this time could come any day or be a few decades away, but I have no heirs to leave the legacy to. So, I want to set it up to benefit many when I am gone. Can you help by finding the people who will share in cashing out the land and then using the millions in inventory on hand to create the rest of this example and help start up a hundred Pure Salvage Outposts as a co-op to help others do the same? If you can help or know someone who wants to buy inventory, have millions on hand to help fund this dream. It will take the right people and the support, but the final product is an example of what could be done, and the people will help teach it by coming in and sharing their wisdom. That is my dream.
The path to finding good areas to live in and raise a child, school them, and perhaps live out your elder years is not accessible due to the property taxes of Texas that do not allow for us to get old and stop earning income, but still get taxed as if we are since there is no income tax in Texas except property taxes. This should be changed to a sales tax or income tax on those with the income, not those who get old and thus are forced to sell their homesteads. I propose taking the ten acres that I have now established ponds with beavers, otters, fish, and miles of shoreline and woods, and a chance to prove that we can build the houses here, set them up with services using solar wind, and the grid to create a community that could go off-grid and survive well for a year or two without needing to ask for government help. It would have worked for those who wanted to use the Tiny Texas Houses facility on-site, which is full of materials and was mothballed nearly a decade ago, to await these foreseen times after Covid.
Some people are gifted with a foresight that can be tapped to make preparations for the future they see coming, though most of the public does not. There is no way to tell others without looking like a negative person, but the facts are easy to read, and the economy will not improve for a while. What are we doing now to anticipate the many forced to downsize and have no affordable housing or alternatives to look to when they are evicted from their large homes? People do not need as much space to live as Americans have been accustomed to since the 1950s when the average middle-income home was under a thousand square feet. People were happy, and families had extra income to vacation, have savings, and live well. That time has passed and more adult children are living at home with relatives than ever in the last 150 years, over 55% of families have reconsolidated to survive. If not for that, the others who have no families often end up homeless, not doing drugs or saddled with addictions, just unable to afford the housing in the city as Blackrock and Blackstone, as well as other elite corporations and people, buy up all the land, housing, and control the food chain too.
Too much power and money in the hands of too few people are leading to a global rebellion that is cyclical historically, taking down kings, queens, and empowers time and again, generally after wars that destroy the country and economy. These are typically governed by crazy people who lose touch with reality and the conditions of the masses. It appears to be coming to a climax globally as the masses demonstrate their frustration and riots ensue. I am hoping to help create paths for solutions to manifest locally where they can help ease housing shortages without selling out to Blackrock or other real estate giants that have credit lines due to bank relationships based on the elite buddy system and not equality or the fair distribution of the wealth of the world. How do we make it possible for the masses to live well without destroying the many systems that benefit the public? I hope there is a way, but I do feel that the salvage, reuse, and creation of intentional communities with salvaged materials and well-planned intentions that are long-term into the future based so as not just to boot out all the people for corporation shareholder profits as is being done to mobile home parks and others nowadays.
Will you consider helping initiate this final transition stage into a trust that can be used to build and demonstrate what is possible? I am seeking the commitment the money to buy out any remaining debt and set up this example called Salvage, Texas, to create the venue to come and learn how to build, set up your Pure Salvage Outpost Co-ops, and possibly intentional communities using this model and support from the warehouse full of the materials to make this happen already in stock. We have the windows, doors, trim, walls, siding, roofing, and hardware on hand to do this, stashed away in over a hundred thousand square feet of warehouses and a place to build. I need to cash out the debt and then Wii, all of the people who will join together to be a part of making this possible.
Once there is water to grow, life of all sorts, green or alive, thrives, like the beavers, otters, fish, and wildlife that have thrived since the land was remedied from nothing to being a premiere example of what can be done.
I will contribute my assets and land to make this work as my last big hurrah before I age into the later years when I may not have the time, drive, or means to do this. I plan to travel to share the books, videos, and lessons that will empower the many to do what I have proven is possible, but with the help of others, what can be proven on a community level, a way to salvage the lives of people who need skills, even building tiny houses, or creating chicken coops, gardening, and the many ways that each of us might be able to add value to the community and thus pay for our part of being there. Please share with those you know who might want to dedicate a portion of their land to creating retirement communities on long-term leases instead of selling off family ranches or farms, thus adding value, possible workers to help on the farm, and a community to support each other when times get hard.
This offer is being tendered to see if the people with the means to help to be part of this in a way that will benefit you, your families, and others who can become part of a larger community of PSO Co-ops that could benefit many communities. Thank you for helping get the word out and bring together people to help finalize the years of preparation and let the massive inventories readied to create some 300+ tiny houses and community centers which will help launch the revitalization of our society. Thank you for your help.
The salvage industry makes more millionaires than any other. If we teach the kids how to build with salvaged materials, they could create careers straight out of High School—no college needed.
When people finally see that the degrees they are paying for are not paying back enough to fund the debt acquired to get the degrees. Skills to make money other than with the degree are ignored, but the cost to the children who get out of college and are unemployed is devastating, and the damage can last for life. There is no way to dispose of the debts from college as the government guarantees the loans, who can take your tax returns, ruin your credit for decades, and keep you from ever getting out of the hole that college creates for most who go to college.
More people need to learn skills while young that will allow them to make a good living, build a tiny house, buy land, and thrive without getting into the bogus college degree scheme hatched when I was young that entices all kids to go to higher education thinking they will net more income over their lifetime. That is not true anymore due to the cost of the schooling and the lack of good jobs for the graduates in many of the degrees that are given by the colleges. There is no longer a great value in most of the degrees like there used to be for fresh graduates; even the high-grade-scoring students are finding it hard to get a job that will feed their debts and let them live better than those who became plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and other skilled jobs that are now paying $75-$150 an hour. Mechanics are in high demand, as are others who are good at doing the physical work necessary for our society to function well.
As we run out of skilled workers for these physically intense jobs is driving up the demand and cost and helping to inspire kids to consider once again developing the skills to build houses, fix cars, and many other fields of work that are in high demand, pay well, and do not require 4 years of college with a hundred grand in debt when done. Why not teach more skills in school, as was once the case when there were wood shops, mechanic shops, and ways to learn skills in school? Sadly, most were shut down due to the insurance costs and the school boards that decided to reduce the importance of producing fully operational adults by 18 years old. The education system no longer provides the education needed for a functional citizen by the time they get done with high school, many not fully literate or skilled in math by the time they graduate high school and have no skills to offer for employment so many feel college is the answer. For most, it will only add to their debt and make things more complicated throughout the time it will take to pay off their college costs, sometimes taking over 20 years with heavy penalties and interest rates that can be adjusted upward without the students being able to object.
Why not suggest that your town open a Pure Salvage Outpost that will provide a venue where kids and adults could go to learn how to build tiny houses, leading to building bigger houses if needed or more of them to create a compound of master suites and a shared house for the kitchen, dining, and getting together area. This allows for faster construction of the bedrooms the kitchen and growing the homestead in increments that allow for mom and dad to have a tiny house, the kids each their bedroom and spaces, as well as the common house where all of you share meals, love, and commune to bond and share your trials and success at the end of each day. Then, off to your tiny master suite where you sleep, get away from others with the person you love, and share the moments of peace a master bedroom should offer. Best of all, it is portable, and you could move on to another part of the property one day when you marry and start your tiny family homestead.
I would like to see more schools built with salvage to teach the kids how to develop American-made homes with sustainable materials, not imported new pollution products but the best of the past that can be salvaged and reused for much less than new products, and last longer. Why not teach logical ways to build inexpensively and grow villages, communities, and homesteads without cutting down trees and making new windows and hardware that can last another century? People have gotten accustomed to disposable products, cars, and homes now that they are all designed to break down in 7-15 years, even houses. I want to see us move back into a time and perspective when quality and lifetime warranties are possible because the product was built with a sense of pride, not just profits, driving the businesses that create our means of growing a great country. No one can build a great country out of trashy materials that are toxic and self-destructive in less than a decade.
Will you share the idea of creating PSO Co-ops and let others know that I will help by funding materials to the towns and communities that will make a place to assemble them and teach the locals who want to build houses the ways to do so now? Stop waiting for others to save the day with new stuff when you have this avenue to use for teaching the locals how to thrive while waiting for the government to make excuses for why it can not help, but also how they are going to stop you from using salvage to rebuild with. The building codes are the tools the corporations use to prevent you from using salvage materials to build with, not for logic’s sake, but for the profits they make, forcing you to use their products through code. Stop the madness and pass variances to the local codes so that you can build faster before the winter kills off many from flu, colds, and illnesses that follow when under the stress that so many suffer from storms and floods. Let us help them as soon as possible. I want to empty this warehouse, then take it down to salvage the wood and metal and use it to create more solutions for others. I want to show how this can provide millions with housing, with no imports from China required.
Please get in touch with me if this makes sense to you, and if there are people locally who can help you establish a Pure Salvage Outpost with the materials, I will gladly ship you the first houses. Do not let the codes and limitations of the government slow down your ability to create solutions locally as fast as possible. Time is not on your side if you do not have a house when the winter, a particularly bad one, sets in over the next month. This will get bad fast, and you can move faster if you wish. I will help in any way I can. Please let me know how Wii can work together to solve the problems where you are.
My world of dreams dies as I donate them to help others build houses and may liquidate the inventory-from past dreams to create the solutions for others now. Dreams die to be reborn.
A couple of decades ago, I bought some land I did not know had been abandoned by a foundry so they would not have to clean it up. EPA had come to say the problem was natural for the heavy metals and pollution washed off to spread and stay in the San Marcos River just a quarter mile away. I saved the land and blocked the path of pollution that would taint the river till it got to Gonzales to be taken out and drank. I also wanted to stop the leaching of the many acres they left without telling me, who bought much later, anything.
Many styles and sizes are concepts that will open many minds to what is possible when you want more tiny houses all around. When I rehabbed them, they had been neglected, were boarded up, and considered the bad inner city of Austin. They averaged about 650 sq. ft., and the houses came on the trains as packages sent to Texas as catalog orders for hundreds of dollars. Many were Montgomery Wards or the Sears catalog homes popular in the late 1800-1940 periods long ago. They were not much bigger than the Tiny Houses I watched grow from the parts and pieces of beautiful old houses. Why waste the beauty of the past, the porch posts, stained glass, and the things that last? Look at the energy savings with sinks, tubs, and hardware for examples of what could be saved each day as the old houses are taken down instead of throwing the parts away. Look at these for examples of past luxuries of massive low-cost resources and coal to smelt metal and create hardware, glass, or metal.
Many of my examples won Best Tiny Houses in America awards with their examples of windows, doors, and hardware that can spice up a tiny or big house without firing up a furnace to make handblown glass windows. The older glass is thicker than the new and energy efficient if you do a few things to make it better than the modern glass that fogs up in ten years and that most will use. I can teach from great distances thanks to computers, even Zoom in some cases, to answer questions and help where it is needed without traveling there. I plan to establish Pure Salvage Outposts (PSO) Co-ops whenever I can find and inspire the locals to set up shop and support them while they start.
This plan I have can get ten houses worth of parts to build if we then find ways to ship in the phases that will let you get them built. I am set to convert the assets that I have mothballed away after my son’s passing in Paris, France, 13 years ago. What was to be inherited will be one of his legacies, a dream I hated to see go. I have realized the next part has come: to dissolve my dreams as I go into my 70s and realize the dreams that will not come to fruition in my lifetime. There may be many, so it goes. What was once his legacy can help many more if this idea can grow. I need help and can not fund this alone, but if we get the proper people, I can sell off much to fund more for many in his generation.
I want to get these materials out as a proper steward should. I have taken over for other oldsters and committed these materials for good. I need some help, though I hate to ask, but for others, I must do this simple task of offering the solutions I can provide to the others who are called to help, to do what Wii were meant to do. Join together with a Unity that gives power to the community. A Co-op going locally can pay for others to learn and see what can be done with the supplies you will see awaiting salvage miners to become the parts you will need to keep growing the Co-op to help bring the skills and kids to work.
Each town will have different needs and opportunities to grow back its community. These are the things that unify and bond the locals. So I want to see house raising (raising a house faster together) be the best way to go when the house razing (taking them down) that the storms did bring can be saved as best Wii knows so that the parts you need to build there locally will grow.
It takes all three working as one to make this system work. Once you get it going, you will know where all the salvage is as people realize that is the best thing one can give to speed up recovery. Salvage is a profitable way to live, support your youth and your community, and show the value of the human energy Wii can give. Somehow, this is all a part of a big dream I once had as a kid. How could dreams come true, even nightmares that I would have long stopped if I could? Know there is a reason, a solution all laid out in a plan that God has written some call fate, with faith aloud, to pray for mercy and help, I hope this will reach them, answers come.
I have dreamt this would help the people when the time came for the parts to finally be seen as solutions for the population needing ” truly green housing.” That means that no trees are cut, no imports across the sea, materials made in America here to fill our needs. Ways to implement the tools and parts Wii need to finally join together locally. I have been inspired to move faster and hope for more who want to grow this chain of independent PSOs run by the locals who want to grow the skills and passions of the kids and others who see and know this is true.
As I move to liquidate the massive stores of what it takes to rebuild houses or to start homesteads, this is my dream for you, and if you have a great desire to help your community, too. I have an offer to Kickstart co-ops where they are needed most, in communities needing housing fast. This is a path to produce a dozen houses for your family or community at the cost of materials for one. Can you show the need to fill it locally with the people who will join together to build tiny houses? These are permanent tiny homes, not mobile homes, for far less than the “Katrina Trailers” of the past hurricane that went through Louisiana.
These are house that will last through the winter and rebuild what was once there, a community with a place for Unity to manifest results for all? I propose the Pure Salvage Outposts as places where all can learn, young and old, together, building houses that will hold the families displaced by the storms and floods. All now need housing rapidly; national codes may have to go until they can afford compliance, and they need warm homes.
I am offering a package of ten houses worth of windows, doors, siding, roofing, and trim, the packages of what it takes to get them housed again. Can I get the help to move it to where they need it now and help create the places to teach the others how to build with salvage and give them our best help? I can send the materials for a hundred houses or more, I know, windows in many different forms that will make for houses, barns, and the cover that Wii know is needed for the critters and the building back of homesteads now.
How do I get more people to join and develop their independent PSA Co-op better than giving the parts to build the first five houses and, if successful, set it up to grow from there again? I can offer salvage building and teach this great trade. Still, the local men and women will be building houses locally to save the cost of shipping them, which is fully permitted if built far away. Those funds will be used locally to pay for labor instead of transporting “boxes of air” across the county. Can you fill in some gaps as one of the elders locally or one who understands the craft of building houses per functionality instead of perfectly following codes established by manufacturers who do not want you using the old materials? Most can have the elders teach others how to build, but materials like windows and doors are often the most critical thing in building a tiny home to start again. Long ago, the mountain cabin that most know housed the wife and kids all close while they worked the light of the days and slept through the dark of night without the storms, the snow, and ways that you could die without a shelter to try and keep warm when winter comes.
Here is an example of a package I could send, with the cost of one paying for five to be loaded up and then, with the plans and a place to stand them, create houses from these parts once again. I have proven that more can do it and be successful, so they can support some local people in building houses that all know are stout and last for a lifetime, unlike mobile homes that will quickly show. If you want to help this alternative grow there, I request you get in touch, and Wii can join as one to prepare a way to get solutions like this delivered to your town’s door.
Are you an elder helping to reassemble what you can and reestablish the community before they move away and go to places they can not return to once the lands are sold or they are old? Help me get your folks together, and then please do let me know.
Some of the parts and pieces and packages will offer many other windows and parts, like aluminum windows, that Wii will give to others as free starter parts. Please consider the master suite concept for living comfortably and tiny. Share the big kitchens and gathering places, but a private space to sleep is special.
These were past examples of what a retail package would be but my goal is to sell a package of 6 for the price of one to see houses built and PSOs started that can use the profits or the chance to do what is needed to create a way for this to happen near you.
This can be one of the size plans for a couple of the houses and some smaller packages for faster builds of master suites like the Kidd instead. I can send five packages for the price of one, which will cover the labor and get them on the trailers and trucks that can come by on their way to help grow new homes from the treasures of the old.
Please consider as I liquidate my dreams I had just up till late when God said it was time to evacuate the massive stores that can do so great as to help others rebuild again, to help make their lives safe. From now through spring, I am offering the chance to kick off your co-ops with materials that will be paid for in good deeds along the way. I need money to help sort, load, pack, and ship away. Then Wii can supply the Co-ops if they can show a way to fund the perpetuation of each Salvage Station that serves to teach nearly everyone who wants to be a Salvage Miner, Salvage Builder, or the one to hunt down all the precious places that still could be salvaged and become a part of the new world that you start with the homes that you will build.
If you are interested in starting a PSO Co-op and finding ways to fund the space to build the houses to move as portable buildings or to take apart the big pieces to transport and assemble again… I can help now. I want to see these wheels in motion by Thanksgiving or if there are more who will speed it up to get what they need to the places soon so a store could be established for those who have no money but need these parts to get set up in the mountains where they are before the winter storms. Can Wii the people do this while the government claims that Wii must obey the rules? It is absurd when people need help now, but government help is not coming down to do the work, so the locals do it themselves.
What should they do locally while the feds sit underfunded and befuddled in their offices?
What if the feds do not move fast to fix roads and build homes that will get the families through the night and back to where their ancestors grew up to rebuild with local pride and keep their homestead rights?
Write Mii, call, or email for more information about what could be in store if you want to help your people and can move this stuff that far… I will make it possible, though I may need some help to load and pay for a foundation, a place to grow the businesses of building with the best of our salvage from a past most are proud of and do not want to throw in the dump. Help me help others save their family’s dreams, as many parts of them as possible, and rebuild their dreams so their children want to live there when they grow up. If not, the mines, commercial ventures, and casinos will replace the poor who sell their lands after such calamities and catastrophes. Sadly, the destruction of their pasts, if not their very lives, comes with the sale of the neighborhoods.
Tiny Texas Houses is located on IH 10, where it will be easy to load up a semi with the people to help strap it on and take it off, then create a few incredible tiny abodes to get the Co-op off the ground without paying for the first batch of materials to get it up and running proud. If the community supports the place to build practically for free. Then I will send the materials to get it started building at least five tiny houses… maybe more if we can get the transport help and load before the winter storms. For those who want to buy more packages to assemble once prepared, I will send the parts that will help to start the salvage mining that will follow if this works well.
I can offer financing without interest to help others get started in small businesses as the teams of teachers at the Co-op create through their classes and construction at PSO. Once mentored and elder-guided, co-op students can get their business building houses growing locally and grow. The locals can mentor the local kids or adults who want to make with salvage and then develop the local salvage business if this sounds good to you. This is a way we help pay for materials with loans that don’t bear interest and can still last for ten years with an assurance of them working with you for a lifetime if you need so you can get the housing going locally you need. Who will show the heart to help start-up these inspirational community centers? Salvage is a treasure right before your eyes, and carpenters, like a famous legend some call Jesus, would have been working through the night to salvage all the treasures that were left there in sight as he said to others through his short life: see the gifts, don’t fear in strife.
If you would like to help create a co-op where you could develop houses like these locally with materials that I will send nearly for free to fire up and inspire others to do this, contact me. Please let me help in the many ways I can to help this start-up locally where so much salvage can be had. Prayers with those who need homes and the path to creating more as quickly as possible. How many start-ups will Wii see at this special event that I offered to those who can see it?
Please share with those who care and need help building or repairing their homes.
Yes, the Electromagnetic radiation from the walls to your pineal gland & brain, thus affects your attention span, health, and deep sleep, let alone melatonin production at night.
None of the houses shown would be allowed to be built in most cities due to the use of salvaged lumber to frame them… and other materials instead of the corporate-prescribed and dictated choices forced on people across America. Would you live in one of these Tiny Texas Houses created to prove what could be done?
So many things are being learned as we have the instrumentation and people willing to examine what makes many sick inside their houses. Studies have shown that the cleaning chemicals, pesticides for bugs, carpet fibers, vinyl that leak out hormone-changing compounds, formaldehyde and acrylic acid from paints, and mold from sheetrock with spores that come for free (add water to see). There are so many problems with new housing that few are ever told of before they buy a home. Somehow, there is a delusion that the government has regulations to protect the public from harmful products, but that is just a meme. The problem is that we mask the problems by confusing the issues and distracting from the corporations that are committing what would be crimes if they were human, for which we would go to jail, but they will only pay fines with future profits. Often, companies pay for non-disclosure and hide what is going wrong rather than losing profits by fixing the defects in their product lines, if possible.
The problem is that nothing stops the vinyl, plastics, glues, and other chemical-laden things you bring into your home from being inhaled and absorbed into the blood directly. It’s better than using needles and syringes to inject carcinogens into you instead. Why is that not considered when building Tiny Houses On Wheels? RVs, big and small, mobile and premanufactured housing dominate many areas of our country, with modern cheap housing having nurtured that development and made significant profits from it for a couple of good decades.
What comes next is the aging of the RV parks full of disposable toxic materials that no longer have good tires to take them away, often full of mold due to the leaks that come in 5 years, when the plastic and vinyl pull away from the thin layer of metal that is a pretty exterior when it is first made. True, it has so little insulation behind it that they are harder to heat and cool, but once leaking, it grows good mold in the lightweight wood that hides within. What will become of the neighborhood when many leave their homes, abandon the payments, and are behind on rent when they move on due to their ill health, costing them their jobs? They are forced to roam. Credit is ruined, life is destroyed, and the stories are growing for the unemployed who did not know the stress upon their body would take a toll in time.
I pray for many, but I know from having said this long ago that mold and hypoxia were all known to be a problem when the federal government provided rules for using RV so that the public could stay healthy, but… nobody read the pamphlet. NO One is supposed to live in RVs or Garden homes full-time due to the rapid health decline that comes with all the reasons that no one seems to disclose. Do you have an air exchanger that varies through the times when you have others visiting, or do you need the air? Most have nothing but a fart fan, and that does not work for you can not suck air from balloons unless you get new in. Where does the fresh air come from? In most homes, there is no place. But in tiny houses, it matters more because you have so little space.
All the materials you use must be considered digestible if you are to breathe the chemicals as they outgas for the first 3-5 years. If you buy an older model, nearly ready to leak and break, like a used house in most subdivisions, they are scheduled to be heavily maintained or break so that you will buy another and sell to suckers as you make your escape. Blessings to the real estate brokers who profit when they take the buyers to the crappy houses they sell for a million bucks. They will need it when they face their maker or clients who figure out what happened, how their health was taken out, not to mention their financial credit scores that hit the ground. In the new society of having credit cards to be online, with smartphones and a chance to be employed and part of life in a generation hooked on smartphones to run their life. What is happening is planned, and sadly, most don’t understand the consequences yet, but I suspect enough of us have already made our bets and planned for Shit to Hit the Fan soon, and indeed before it gets better so that all can start to build a better life again.
Blessing to your dayz, my friends. Beware of the codes that never end, but do not create a healthy end if you want to build a home. Please be aware of the materials you share with the others who share your home. When you build it to be healthy, then there is nothing you’ve done wrong. But if you build with modern goods, all full of chemicals, and forget that the EMFs are causing bad things for the brains of those exposed to too much whose immune systems, once gone, do not get better for a lifetime, the innocent get harmed. Stop the madness by learning more and building healthy from the start.
The truth is, there are seldom people who examine or determine if anyone is doing what they are supposed to do based on laws or regulations at the corporate level. Instead, the focus is on the city, county, state, and federal inspectors that will come into your home and demand that you do as told by codes written by the very entities that are poisoning our homes. Where does the logic come from that puts the fox in charge of the security and health of the flock of chickens in their cages at night? They are the entities that show up who can stop you from creating a healthy house that does not comply with the industry that forces us to abide by them. The public uses the products they create, regardless of the price or how they rate their ability to perform, rarely knowing how toxic they become in the house when you breathe them, ingest them, and see if the chemicals come out.
How does the world accept a corporation obligated to make profits for the shareholders first, regardless of the shenanigans it takes? Who determines if they are liars who market but don’t perform when they own the politicians who write their loopholes into law, and they can then escape the consequences of their flaws? When you realize, thanks to the whistleblowers, that the corporations so despise that they will kill them, take them down before they can report all they found. When corporations can control great nations, that is called by many names, but fascism seems the best to use; it becomes invisible, though accurate, to our amazement, but appears to be a “NO USE WORD” in the press.
During these times, the meaning of words and their universal application in news media, verbatim, give evidence to the propaganda that goes on. Mockingbird is a way to learn how to mimic and say the same things over all of the airways. This was not a coincidence. Indeed, the odds prevent anyone from thinking it could be unless they are dense. They are dumbing down the public and making them sick as Hell so that they can sell them drugs and profit from your declining health. Please stop the madness of consenting, eating junk food, staying stressed so that you can be of service, nearly a slave (no less), or, if the rulers don’t need you, put on the street in the end. What becomes of the millions who are losing jobs they knew but have no other skills to use, and their bodies are too ill to do the labor that is needed, to be victims, or be killed?
How many ways can vintage materials be used to create new houses where they are needed, but also to preserve history, health, and our economy.
If the protectors of the people do not work for the government, who is doing that job? What are the federal departments doing but complying with the corporate written international codes that are based on a lithium-based world? Is it possible to have a genuinely all-electric world without batteries? Yes, but not according to the path this administration running the world is taking us, but with 0-point energy, which has patents proving it possible but kept secret and out of the reach of the public for the benefit of all. Through the internet, it then comes upon the people to point out where the money goes and who pays the price with their lives on the line. Corporations must be held responsible by imprisoning the many who run them instead of letting them leap out of reach with golden parachutes and land in places they will never be extradited from to be prosecuted for their crimes against humanity.
Soon, the world will see, thanks to the Whistleblowers finally coming out and being protected instead of being shot down. Know the tribunals and a future with a change could come soon and a chance to empty the deranged from the seats of power around the planet, perhaps to put them in a giant cage. Savor the moments and times Wii are in for those who can see, read, and win. Wii are the many, the United and Free, speaking up to join and end the evil killing spree. Fear not by fully knowing that destiny is the truth, thanks to what Wii give. Love and our actions will change the world soon as the Light Brigade rises from out of the womb and into our mastery of those that threaten us with doom. Brighten the days with the light you can show is coming from within us and letting us glow; call it what you might, Chi, Prana, God-thought, or Wub; it is the same universal energy that gives us all life. It is how and what Wii communicate and create that matters now.
God’s energy flows like the sun on our skin, giving us the power that Wii now need to live. Thrive in the luxury of knowing at last that there is a great future ahead, as evidenced by scriptures and based on cycles of our past.
Life is an incredible fantasy of what could be as well as what Wii see before us every day. The secret is our ability to find our perspicuity and see how things all fit as Wii defend our planet from a planned and evil end. Savor the chance to shine.
Finally I have a person to finish this house for by making it adorably livable for a tiny lady in her 70s who will join us in Salvage, Texas for her final decades.
Yes, it has been a while since the operations were put into mothballs, and I went on my sabbatical from business life. Finally, I am inspired to move on and clear up the mess of my past life as a millionaire entrepreneur intent on leaving a great legacy for his son. That goal ended with his life in 2011, and soon after, I shut down the operations of building Tiny Texas Houses and let all the workers go on to their next workplace. I thought I was done being an employer for the next seven years. It has turned into more, and I have no desire to rerun a big business. Hence, the solution is to dissolve what is left: 100,000 sf of warehouses full of 500 tiny houses worth of materials awaiting assembly that may never happen.
This is a large version of a tiny house, a real house that will loophole around being taxed as a house and slip by as a portable building, thus reducing the liability for taxes by 75% during the owner’s lifetime. Furthermore, she can depreciate it by over ten years instead of 28 years and thus pay fewer taxes. Ultimately, the idea behind building homes with salvaged materials is to save costs on the environment by saving energy, not cutting down trees, and creating a home that will last a hundred years or more if cared for right. The new tiny mobile home class of structures that have been the predominant tiny houses on wheels is doomed to decay in ten years, lose nearly all value, and likely make the people who bought the new unhealthy and unwealthy by the time they finally move out of it and trash what is left.
Real wood and handblown glass saves the world the cost of creating new glass at 1,000 calories of heat per square inch to melt sand to form glass. Most of the metal for the hardware is not mined anew but was made a hundred years ago by kids who drug coal from mines while barefooted and stoked the furnaces that melted the metal to form the hardware long ago. This is the advantage of working with salvage: the savings of so much energy and trees, the longevity of new construction, and the beauty of natural building materials salvaged from a time of abundance and high quality. This produced the best of the houses offered during the 16-year-long Tiny Houses on Wheels fad that is crashing as resale values plummet for what is effectively an RV, not a home.
It’s not coffin lofts for me, but a place I can walk with my hat on freely and yet have the space count as storage, not living space, for the tax rolls. Yes, the loophole is in the average ceiling height, the lower wall being under 5’6”, and the stairs to it are thus allowed to break convention as there is no code on a tiny portable house.
Originally, I was putting in full AC electricity in the wall like modern homes, but with solar power, DC electricity is more of the future of home electric systems. Hence, I am no a fan of the wiring for AC that causes Electromagnetic Frequencies that pollute the home environment and cause fires, and it is not needed anymore to have a house operate with AC. Still, it is easier, so I do both in this house. My master suite, which is my home, does not have any AC electric to it, but for that matter, no electricity is wired in as I use DC batteries on the fan by my bed and need no other to be happy when I go home to rest.
Here is an example of the small version of the office area in the house for bills. I can move the doors that will form the wall back. These are just for displaying the layouts. Using doors for walls saves dramatically on dead space wasted inside walls, usually, as all space is valuable in a tiny house.
The upstairs area has two bedrooms and will have a balcony outside that extended window area. The far side is the master suite area, and there will likely be a half bath in the far corner. Closets, storage, a king-size bed possible, and a separate area as an office or second guest bedroom. This is a large upstairs compared to the houses that live on tires that rot and cost a grand to replace when you decide to move one day down the road. Rubber tires have a 5-year life; even if they are never run down the road, the rubber dries out and rots.
This is the bigger office area version with a smaller bathroom area. One of the options for laying out the house to suit the new owner as we make plans for her arrival and becoming one of the permanent residents in Salvage, Texas. This is intended to be a place Wii can live in till wii die… even in dementia or hospice level. Our goal is to show how this can be done to mix elders with the younger people to help raise the kids. Transfer, somehow download the wisdom of the elders into the kids of tomorrow through homeschooling and teaching the children how to question, think, and grow to be the most amazing people possible to lead others in the future when so many will be dumbed down by their smartphones and dependency on them for knowledge.
This will provide for a shower, sink, and commode and be set up so it is handicapped accessible in case the owner needs the handles and assistance later. It will be big enough for a helper if needed but not so big that getting around in it will be an issue if the owner is handicapped a bit by aging and time.
The kitchen will actually extend through the door to the pantry and secondary storage area for the kitchen. The porch will wrap around to the front of the house, adding over 200 square feet of living space screened in till tax man leaves, then glassed in for the hot and cold seasons but not have it count as living space for tax purposes… all legal.
Can you imagine the open porch on this end by the big door entrance and then a closed-in porch that you enter through a door to have an outdoor living area, extra guest bedroom area, or just a place to store more stuff? All together, this will give about 825 square feet of living areas heated and cooled if desired but only have 326 sf count as living space, thus getting it under the 400 sf to be valued at $400 an sf as high-houses built of the same quality but instead show up as a storage building valuation based on a value determined by what the appraisal district is told it is valued at though because it is a portable building, it is not considered attached to the real estate and thus saves the owner much in taxes each year, in this case, likely saving $3,000 a year in property tax, our Texas Income Tax.
I have all the materials to create 300 more houses like this in storage from when I had the business operating with 20 employees. I will never do that again after savoring the last few years without the stress of payroll, taxes, liability for employees, and the drama of having workers constantly trying to get over on me because I am the boss, the man who supposedly could afford all the employees who stole, cheated on time, and took time off without regard to the demand for timely completion of projects to get the draws to pay them. They really did not care how much Hell I had to go through to make payroll and keep the business going when they screwed off and put us behind schedule, drew, or just failed to build right the first time and therefore had to tear it apart and do it right to make me happy, but at my expense. I shut it down with no heir left to give this legacy, too. Mentoring kids was not working, as they all left as soon as they got the training to go off on their own. The days of apprenticeship and loyalty are past. Now, there is no loyalty or obligation to repay for what is taken, such as mentoring, which amounts to paying someone to learn how to do what I took years to learn these days, only to see the people leave once I have paid to train them and not yet gotten the work back from them to pay for my investment into their skills and future. Bullshit. So I quite.
I have lived in my Tantra Temple, the name of my home, for over eleven years now, and it has truly given me the best rest of my life. It is my peaceful master suite that I go to at night and seldom see during the day. My place to get away, no TV, office, or work on display, just peace and tranquility to dream in as I float on my hanging bed each night. Truly I have experienced it, attest to what it has done for me, and I do believe it will do the same for others who choose to build organic healthy houses that will last for lifetimes instead of the coffins full of poisons to breath in that some call tiny houses on wheels, or worse.
There are four houses left to complete. One will go to Trinity, another to become one of the houses to use for the BnB, or another person may move here. We are shutting down the BnB operations and looking to put people into the houses who want to help create the example of Salvage, Texas, to prove what can be done to recreate the world after others have trashed it. From an industrial waste dump to a paradise with beavers, otters, fish, and fowl, Salvage, Texas, is not to be matched for its potential to prove wii can create a village and a future from the best of our past by salvaging it and reusing it instead of toxic new imports and building materials that are also more expensive and will not last as long as the materials I am using to create houses that will be energy efficient from before you move in saving the cost of all the materials that would need to be created and cause pollution, transport, and marketing costs that do not need to be included in your home.
I hope you will like and follow us as Wii put the finishing touches on this great example of salvage building and then tows it out and positions it on one of the ponds with the front porch extended over the water edge and trees all about with birds, critters, and trees to share the rest of her time on Earth with. Truly, this is the best way to live. Still, few can or will here as Wii will keep the population in Salvage limited to perhaps 40-50 people on the 18 acres remaining that will hopefully become the Embassy for Pure Salvage Living that others can learn from and perhaps replicate in other places once the methodology is clear. This is a path to solutions the world needs, but the question is, do the people care about the world and environment to do what should be done, or will they stay in the disposable toxic housing mode as they have been trained to do?
As I hit 69 years old and face my 70s with the hope of being my best self yet, I hope you will share the path to healthy living, practice it if you still can, and reclaim your youthfulness into your
The 80s instead of aging out early. Wii have so much potential if wii takes action and does what needs to be done with passion and a positive mental attitude. Truly, that helps make the world an incredible place regardless of what is happening elsewhere. Savor the moments and create a future of your dreams by acting now to chase and catch the dreams you still hold in your heart and mind. It is never too late until you are dead.
Only those who truly believe they can achieve what few others do will succeed. You must break free from the limitations placed by those who can not see.
I will be sixty-nine in October. I have to get my 70 body formed this year. Savor the Youthing, for it truly means you can live another lifetime after 60.
Sit and think about the moment you are in, passing through, and where you might have been, then decide where you may go if balanced and in the know. lol
I turned 51 this October

I am scheduled to be on the show in September my friends, live. Please check out Jesse’s stie, the Missing Link on Rumble and Youtube if they have not censored us.
Then you are into the times of maturation that are unknowable before Wii fully wire the frontal lobes, accelerating after 49, you understand the difference by now.
For most humans, the identity with the body versus the Spirit that occupies and uses this avatar to communicate with is too much to grasp due to religious upbringing or the lack of study in these metaphysical realms. There have been decades of progress in science and instruments to find that there are forces behind what was considered Woo Woo by Einstein. Once Wii understand the existence of the aether and realms outside the physical body or this dimension is possible and provable, much more is likely due to our ability to believe in it more.
Visualization, imagination, and funneling the energy of the air to the Earth through this saltwater battery Wii occupy express and communicate in this holographic plane, which is mostly called reality. Surreality is shown as the veil between the spirit world and reality thins, which is part of the collapsing of the Earth’s magnetic fields. There is so much to unpack as humans can handle it, and the internet allows us to share this globally, instantly, and translate it into languages no one can speak. Miracles are possible for the first time in our lives and are scientifically supportable if some wish to prove that we finally believe in our true human potential, not techno-bots, as some would have us be. I choose instead to remain natural, organic, and freely accessible.
Thanks. I love the life and times I never thought I would live to see and to be so strong when all I knew was weak people this age is fascinating proof that it is what Wii believe that determines what Wii will achieve, but there is work that must be done, often without choice. Fate is real. YOU have a purpose planned before you incarnate. Wub in Body forms a WIB, a thought manifested and maintained with intention, Spiritual, so long as you maintain the vessel and stay connected with your Spirit, not giving up the body to other drivers along the path of life. Kudos to your goal of awakening as many as possible by seeing all the perspectives. Perspicuity is key.
As the mature neurons and ganglia develop after 49 our vision going into our prime at 66 changes as Wii pass through the last chakras in the body to master it and move on to the aether world of creating the future with clearer memory for why Wii are here, what Wii must do, and what is True.
Some music from the Book of Wibblry and Wub could serve as a background or sampler for many to show their concerns and let others know they are Wubbers too. Ready to do what it will take to fashion a better world than the one at stake as the systems break down to be rebuilt again. You are part of the new age of awakening to what the Spirit brings into the body and allows us to do so once you know how to. Honor thy vessel, and it will give you a fantastic life, but treat it like a trashcan and your life will feel like trash, disposable and worthless once ingested and spent. Create the memories you will want to hold in your future, not life hours you prefer to forget.
Wii are the generations that will determine the future, and the few that make it through the following tests will help form the tomorrow some of us came to help create. I believe Wii will succeed and let the rule of our paradise be peaceful-minded instead of run by those who cherish war, death, and destruction to hold power, wealth, and control the world. I believe there is a path to sharing the world without war, but with far fewer people that want to see peace rather than what the coming wars will produce to reduce the populations to 10-14% of what they are today. There can be new ways, but who determines what they will turn out to be the Light Brigade on hand for such a day. Who are they?
Even with bad form, good results can come, but it all takes work, most notably in the mind, to know how you want to express yourself and use the mirror to make the magic happen. What you believe manifests what you achieve. Sixty-nine on October 8, and this was not possible to imagine as a crippled kid. Life is a miracle, so never imagine that others won’t follow if you help manifest them through your faith and actions.
Never give up being the best you can for the rewards in the future will be amazing. Don’t waste your future by being lazy when young and able to maintain the best body you can.
This is a response to a conversation about using salvaged lumber to build with. It leads to other essential things most people are unaware of or consider, but it should be both. Are you keeping up with the changing times, researching about staying youthful, and living the healthiest version of yourself for your lifetime?
I have 2×8 in LLP, but it is structural grade, has no knots bigger than a thumbnail, and has 10-16 growth lines per inch. As for value, in retail, what you have is likely $5 a board foot or more if burled treasure. I can do better but Wii would need to see what you need first.
What will your door-to-opportunity look like? What is under the old paint that makes it seem worthless and undeserving of special attention makes you unique, and once the facade is removed, the beauty of your door to opportunity can be seen by others? Savor the day you can salvage the best hidden beneath the paint of your age, traumas, and experience. The dings & dents, the scars from how you got here, make us memorable, incredibly unique, and beautiful once fully seen and understood.
Savor the perspicuity that comes with cleaning off the debris that covers up who you are by being real, truthful, and unafraid of the light upon your skin.
Burled pine, I have sold for as much as $42 a square foot, but that is a special buyer. Others would call that crazy, but it is $75 per sf in Florida. The longer the length past 16 ft, the better the value as a premium, over 20′ is special but also a pain to stock and move.
I mothballed my business and warehouses 8 years ago. Time goes too fast, and I hope still that some honest younger people will show up to take on the bear I have in hibernation, about 1 million board feet of LLP and thousands of doors and windows I had hoped to see turn into houses when the need, ingenuity, and respect for salvage building comes back to our society. It requires great necessity to create unlimited demand for positive changes.
This downsizing of America will come soon, and imports will not be an option. Energy will force people to conserve and also use vintage glass, lumber, doors, windows, and more that they can not find in vinyl that destroys the endocrine systems through ingestion as it outgases to mimic estrogen in our system, a problem, like Atrazine that creates affectations in sexuality displayed by 32 species of now hermaphrodite fish.
I sometimes get distracted by my passion for building with salvage. Kudos for you doing so. I used a large stash of shorter tongue-and-groove 2×6 for walls. It will be fun to build with, too, since I used it for building loft floors and walls to save cubic space in my Tiny Texas Houses.
I do not have the 2×8 easily accessible, and it would be wise to visit to view the possibilities. Let me know when you can come. I have a BnB with houses to stay in, as the two locations have over 100,000 sf of materials under the roof plus what is outside. Sell some and make some money on the side or barter that way for more instead if you know anyone that is building naturally instead of with shitrock and plastics, formaldehyde, and plasticizers for inhaling as additives that few consider as they age poorly instead of into our primes at 66-78.
No one ever told me when I was young and only through building tiny and natural, living it to test the effects, I can now demonstrate by exemplification the benefits such things as wood floors like you are making, wood as a cellular tissue that is charged to keep you healthy, and the many benefits of limiting the AC electricity in your sleeping spaces.
It truly is a miraculous effect more people should benefit from. Still, trying to teach that to a world that follows TV advertising and believes marketing has a link to science or facts, they are ignorant suckers who will be taken advantage of but not know it, even when the consequences show up in their lives.
Living the words, one speaks or writes to taste their true validity and prove the results, not just selling the hopium and dream sauce on the internet and TV. The test is in what the speaker is selling at the end of a video, for it seems that is the motive for most health secrets I see pop up.
You did not ask for so much, but I used it as inspiration for my daily essay on the state of the worldview. Perspicuity rules my days at this great age of 68. I will likely post this on my TinyTexasHouse.substack.com site with some modifications.
I hope more will take your interest and action to use vintage materials to build our future once the old systems are thoroughly exposed and deservedly broken from the weight of Truth and Consequences finally becoming clear. This is apparent through the cancer and tumors that will manifest this year. The spike protein is on its way to doing the work it was created for. It opened the door to turbo cancer. Need I say more?
Natural living, grounding, and being healthy this year will become a loud call. The control groups, self-proclaimed and punished for it, hold the key to fertility, the path of longevity, and the hope for the next generations to get it right the next time. First, Wii has to see it break down to realize the consequences are worth the effort to do the work, inside and out, to make the world healthier for our loved ones and offspring so that we can rebuild it into paradise someday. I dream of helping create. Till Humpty Dumpty hits the ground, no solutions will be found.
