This will be the year that many will fail to find their passion or goals met, quite the opposite. Most will have to step back and re-examine the value of time, life, possessions, & relationships.
This is the big year for many who never thought they would live to see such times. No one seems to understand that time will fly by faster before the next year ends, speeding into a future where the past will be blurred as our vision is transformed to let us see what is essential here. Not the cheap distractions or the many ways to hide from the consequences of the actions most have long since made. This will be the time to pay for the things most did without being given any say, but the consequences that are coming out today were not mentioned.
Many things are changing, but the worst thing that most fear is war, the collapse of the economy, and the lack of a way to buy bread or food due to inflation. How do some feed their families when their homes are washed away? More importantly, how do you eat well to stay healthy if food gets more challenging, expensive, or contaminated by the systems producing food without disclosing the poisons inside them, such as preservatives, flavorings, or chemicals leaching out of the packaging?
What are you planning for security and backup if the world hits a gitch in the food and medicine distribution system? This is a strong possibility if there is any sort of blackout, intentional or from the sun smacking us with a giant filament or solar flare. One just lifted off while I was writing this that will not affect Earth for a couple of days, but many impacts are possible when it does. Not just electrical systems are being impacted, but so are the health and weather that feel the effects. This is especially true with so much instability in the world due to war and the global trade battles that will affect them due to their dependency on corporations that might run into issues due to the new trade conflicts.
The many attacks on health are caused by corporations that knew this was a known risk, but it was ignored for profit. The executives who made those decisions are gone and can not be punished. No one will ever be punished, but the customers in the future who pay the fines for this bad behavior that kills many every day still.
What do we who could send help, thinking Americans do that through FDA & FEMA with tax dollars in our steed? That job of those eurocrats seems to break down every time they are desperately needed, no matter where. What do Wii, the public that can see do, but wonder how the government has handled it? Is the public forced to watch, kept away, to watch FEMA and Commissioners let their lives be washed away, refusing to count bodies or give credence instead of delays? Who is in charge of allowing those people to pay with their lives for the mistakes FEMA makes by failing to send help their way? Worst still, why does FEMA keep the solutions from getting underway?
What will you do if the problems of the snow and storms cause the world to falter in its chance to help in ways that the dying people can find a way to live or stay? How do we build the houses that are needed, big or small? How do we protect the children who need a place to stay? What will the others do to help when the government does not as if they intended the people to move away? IF this is the future for the many, who may live in the areas where mining is intended when they give their title to the rich men who have plans to mine it till it doesn’t look like anything we knew as forest for our furry friends that will turn into a strip mine stretching miles that will destroy life then. What will you be doing in the coming years ahead if the mines decide they want your land and the government is their friend who comes and takes your land away without considering what it does to you?
Somehow, there must be a plan that helps humans take a stand for their land and forests, for nature and the future of their ancestors’ land. How will they raise their children with family lore and all their friends that they will never see again if they wipe out all the towns? What do the people who aren’t allowed to go back to their land, their homes, their heritage, and more? Their means to eat to stay alive are taken, so they can not thrive. Why can’t they have a tiny house to rebuild what their families lost? Who on Earth was given the right to take the land that they have with all the rights that should protect us all? Please stop the madness that takes all from those who are poor, who seem so small against the giant corps that go and take their rights away.
No matter what the corps may do to destroy the land, the critters, too, without anyone to stop what they do. It is so sad, but it still seems to be true. Someone must stand up that can not be shot down or bought up. Who will that be for those who see the writing on the wall that seems to say they must give up and leave? Where is the hero and the God that promised to protect them all? We know the president doesn’t care, and the people who work for FEMA dare to stop the people and the towns from saving themselves with the salvage that is found. Stop the madness and the taking that is clearly in the making. Can Wii do it, those “I”s that see so they can’t do what Wii see they want?
By the time most read this, it will likely be outdated. Perhaps someone will buy the land and force the emptying of the assets hidden within that I had hoped would turn into hundreds of houses again. At this stage, there do not seem to be enough people interested in such things to help so it appears this show will come to an end. Not the glorious one I hoped for where others would pick up the torch and carry it on, but time is still passing and the opportunity is still there. Will it take a miracle?
I have learned that males peak at 66-78, but I never would have believed it without experiencing this delight. What do you do when you reach the final leg of your working life at 69? Yes, at our peak, what do you seek?
20 more years will go fast, given the last 20 seem like 10 now.
Yes, I now have the willpower to resist many temptations of my youth that were destroying my health when I was young, still in my 20s. I was only eating junk food with sugar, white flour, white rice, and many other things that were not healthy but considered an ordinary diet. I was habitually eating Burger King Whoppers with a shake daily, yet I was working at a health club selling memberships and teaching others how to do workouts and get stronger. However, I had no clue about nutrition. The book “Sugar Blues” saved my life as it taught me about how many symptoms I had for Hypoglycemia, a word I had never heard. One of the young guys working out there, a diabetic, taught me what would follow if I did not change my diet. I did not fully understand the symptoms, but once I read the book, it became clear where my emotional mood swings came from, along with more dramatic symptoms like grand mal seizures that would leave me shaking on the ground before I could recover.
Stop the abuse of your body while young so that you can stay fit and last longer than those who trash their vessel of life. What can you do to make your life better? Eat better, and work out with calisthenics or a weight room. Get out and move more, watch less TV, and do all you can to get fit while young so that you can maintain that without much effort later instead of getting fat, diabetic, and facing many problems that result from not taking care of your body. If you want to live a long, healthy life, your home, food, and activity levels will determine 80% of your success. The 20% that comes from accidents, injury, and damage due to living in toxic environments that cause cancer and other disease that could be prevented by changing where you live. What will you do for the next few decades to stay fit and be an example to your children and other adults who would benefit from your improvements? The example you can be can change the world.
Suppose you desire to create healthy housing and a healthy community and have others with the same intentions. In that case, I hope you will take the initiative now as so many people will need to change their eating habits as food increases in cost and sadly, the worst food, closest to junk food, is the cheapest. It is more costly to eat organic food unless you can also grow some, but most can not due to where they live. Apartments don’t generally provide common areas for gardens. Many could change over time to accommodate those who care about such things. In effect, you could develop a community of like-minded people in apartment and condo complexes that were of ordinary mind on how to live healthily and thus promote and prove this is the right path to take for aging healthy, therefore making for a stronger country if the next generation reaches their 60s in better condition that the Baby Boomers who are generally fat, sick, and unhappy, which is sad given Americans have more opportunity to stay healthy and wealthy than any other nations on Earth.
What are you doing to show the rest of your family and friends what is possible in healthy, vibrant living and thriving well into your 80s? I chose this path rather than dying young and sickly and learning it was all preventable: the pain, cancer, and a sad ending to a life that could have been extended so easily. Are you one of those who will make excuses and never alter your behavior, just your wish list of miracles to happen to you, instant slimness with a pill, shot, or other big PHARMA solution that will keep you addicted, may even kill you and thus drop your weight dramatically and solve all your problems in one fell swoop? What will it take for the average person to break the many habits that result from eating foods with known addictive ingredients allowed to be put in most packaged foods produced in America but not in Europe, Africa, and Japan? It must be clear to you if you look at the difference in the ingredients and how many are used in America that are banned in Canada, Mexico, Europe, and many other countries that global corporations like America do not run. Study and learn from other societies where the public is protected from the criminality of corporations seeking profit at any cost, including the death of their customers.
If you are aging poorly and only in your 30s, overweight, not muscular, low on energy, or having mood swings, depression, or worse, physical symptoms like narcolepsy, just falling to sleep without notice, sometimes like me, while flying solo in an airplane and nearly hitting the ground as I nosedived the plane when I passed out into sleep and leaned forward on the steering column causing my race to the Earth before waking at 800 ft from crashing, 5 times in an hour-long solo, my last time in a plane alone. I nearly died several times that day before landing without having balanced fuel tanks in the wings because I was too sleepy to think straight. I was lucky I was taught how to land sideways, crabbing my way to the ground without flipping the plane when I landed. I never flew alone again. Have you had that problem? I had the issue driving, too. You?
Believe it or not, the diet changed everything, and I regained my mind and body. I genuinely believe there are many ways to stay healthy without going to the Rockefeller-created American Medical Association to combat natural remedies that have worked for centuries. There was an apparent conspiracy to wipe out naturopathic cures and to replace them with dangerous and addictive drugs that would trap people into a sickness instead of eliminate it and thus create lifelong customers, the primary goal of many doctors that goes unspoken. They do not make money if you do not go into their office sick and need checkups, prescription renewals, and other devices many use to keep you as a paying customer for life. They get bonuses for giving you a vax of every sort possible that amounts to tens of thousands of dollars a year in extra income. Few of their clients understand what motivates the drive to vax everyone. Profits without disclosure are biasing the doctors and their pathology of ignoring the labels, addicting people to drugs they should not need, and worse, becoming a common complaint by those who suffered from that tactic thousands of American Medical Association Cult members.
Please become educated and autodidactic, teaching yourself new information and facts about how to stay healthy and happy into your 90s without having to take statins, high blood pressure medicines, and testosterone supplements to get by. Please take an hour a day to study new information about healthy living and grow your mind’s understanding rather than losing it. Muscle and mind decline with a lack of exercise, so do not neglect either. Better you should miss your TV programs for an hour in the gym, riding a bike, walking a few miles, and other physical things that will extend the healthy portion of your life by decades instead of just supporting doctors and hospitals with your insurance funds, if you have enough. Some cannot afford good doctors, and they will likely suffer the most if they do not change their eating, exercise, and thinking patterns. This is the only way to stay away from the medical industry when you age into an old folks home where the occupants generally long lose diet, exercise, and mental clarity, and there is no chance they will leave to live independently again.
Join me in proving what older people are capable of both in business, writing, and building the solutions the next generation will need to overcome the challenges that modern societies have caused in their rush to grow, profit, and ignore the warning lights going off indicating that you and others are on a dead end path running full speed but you do not have brakes. Be prepared to hit the wall when the loss of China imports the many prescription drugs that many Americans are addicted to. China just banned shipping them to us in a counter-strike to the new tariff plan on their imports. The cost to stay on medicine will get higher, as will all things once imported that will need to be made in the USA now with much more expensive labor, and land, buildings, and insurance that will make cheap products a thing of the past.
Get ready, kids. The societies in America, Europe, and other places where the wars are growing are about to go through massive changes, and being healthy will make the next few years easier. Please consider changing and helping those you love to prepare their bodies, minds, and spirit for challenging years ahead. Housing will be vital, and I hope the examples of what can be done by salvaging the best of our past will make the next few years much better for many who realize they must change to thrive in the coming years. Blessings to your dayz kids.
If you have seen how incredible the look of vintage lumber is on a wall, decorating as well as using for floors, reducing the toxins, imports, & low-quality building materials w salvage makes cents.
How much will you pay for shitrock on the walls, materials that outgas dangerous chemicals that you will inhale and make part of your body just by living in a new house, tiny or large? If you do not know, this happens when you move into a new home, especially a tiny house with a limited air supply. How do you limit the chemicals and toxins in the new houses? Wait for 3-5 years for the outgassing to complete itself before living in them, which, given they are only built to last for ten to twelve years, the plastic seals on the exterior and roof will leak by then if not kept out of the weather and sun. It is sad when the industry refuses to recognize the short life of the materials they use to create cheap tiny houses and mobile homes.
Worse for anyone who lives in one full time is the health issues that result from toxins in the houses that could be prevented, and the lack of fresh air due to few adding the necessary but costly air exchangers that preserve the heat and cold in the house while flushing out the stale air to get fresh oxygen in the house. If not, there is a serious issue with hypoxia in tiny houses and RVs that contributes to mental decline and physical ailments. Since you will not sleep well when you lack fresh air, your days for the kids and adults will be less energetic, and you will be more prone to being tired and sick due to not having a healthy environment to live in.
In a world quickly filling up with tinier homes, and most are not reviewing the reports and not listening to the growing calls for concern over the resulting health issues, few connect the dots to find the solutions until the damage is severe. Respiratory problems, mental clarity, hormones being messed up due to the endocrine disruption caused by the outgassing yet, because it is invisible, the lack of oxygen undetected, and the resulting loss of energy and health subtle as it disappears gradually, most know nothing of the cause of their health issues after the first year in a new tiny RV or Home, mobile home, or the ever-growing modular homes that are just big versions of toxicity living.
It is possible for those who care and want a healthy tiny house to get one built, but you will need to be sure these issues do not arise for you. You must adhere to using materials inside the house that will not outgas the plasticizers, vinyl chemicals, paint chemicals, and polyurethane finishes that cure. At the same time, you live there, which means outgassing the remaining chemicals in the fibers of the wood or even carpet. Why is this not reported on more? Why are these issues not discussed on panels at the national tiny home manufacturers? Why is this the subject to stay silent on if you build the trailers, RVs, and tiny houses on wheels that are virtually just tiny mobile homes that will lose value faster than the health of the people living in them who bought them off the lot new, fresh, and full of invisible chemicals to inhale and absorb, sadly most being carcinogenic and even deadly in the long run. Cancer can be overcome by the victims of this abuse and failure to inform, but why should they have to experience the possible death cancer causes over being stupid?
Since I no longer build tiny houses for anyone, I can speak freely and not be accused of false prejudice as if I am exposing these issues soley to promote my brand of dwellings. I created Tiny Texas Houses to be the antithesis of “Tumbledweed Houses.” That was my name for the first of the fad tiny house makers that were truly examples of how to rip off people pretending to teach them how to build tiny houses on wheels. That failed due to the many misleading aspects of their presentation and the owners misrepresenting things early on, which cost them their reputation and, sadly, cost many who followed him. But it was their life savings and health that suffered. Many other Toxic-House-box on Wheels have done worse, creating more chemicals while the fad was hot. Even a Dr. Vinyl that made the entire house out of vinyl’s toxicity would definitely put most people into a complex nose dive with their hormones and health in a matter of months.I never heard if anyone was stupid enough to buy and live in one, but I would love to hear from those who did. It would be a sad story, for sure.
I have published many articles on living in tiny healthy houses and what to watch for, but the industry is in denial and refusing to address these issues. Most manufacturers will just shut down and go out of business, having taken their profits and moving on once the public figured out, somebody screwed them over for profits. If you have health issues in the respiratory tract, hormones, and cancer but have not investigated the cause and have lived in tiny houses, or new mobile homes for that matter, you should look into this as the cause and warn others before they too suffer. I know of a mother and daughter who got matching tiny mobile homes, and both got cancer, one of the breast, the other lymphoma. This is serious, and it only took three years of living in them to trigger the cancer. Stop the madness now. Cheap housing is not worth your health later in life.
For those who want to downsize into a healthy lifestyle, please consider using as many healthy materials as aged lumber, not plywood, particle board, and composites full of chemicals. Do not add the paints and chemical-laden products that will outgas over the first three years after they are made, leaving the plastics brittle once the chemicals that make them flex leach out into the air, your lungs, your body, and your brain. Tell others who have made the mistake, are sick, and do not understand why, yet they live in these homes.
Now, you are the one who now knows what many do not. Please share if you care about those you love and friends who may be sucked into the downsizing without understanding the potential downfalls of that lifestyle in a toxic box rather than a healthy tiny house.

Yes, it appears like this road will come to an end soon. I will put to bed after searching for the protege or others who want to grow Tiny Texas House communities.
For Sale: the land and building that houses the Tiny Texas Houses operations. I have tried my best, taking over a dozen years to nurture the concepts. With the end of my role in the arena of tiny housing manufacturing, I will offer the chance for someone else who may well be a better businessman than I was, as that is no longer on my list of things I want to do in life. Running a business is a demanding life and can pay well. Still, at 69, I have had my fill of running companies, having employees, and paying outrageous taxes for the privilege of having workers. I liked helping Americans overcome the housing crisis. It appears like the runaway train will not have anyone on the tracks to warn others or to slow the train down before it goes entirely off the tracks soon. Housing in America will reach crisis levels fast as the economy crumbles further due to the massive layoffs and industrial decline in progress.
The war-machine industry may be booming, but all others are suffering dearly and will soon lead to an economic depression unlike any in history, yet business will continue. The time to grow a business is historically during a recession or depression. I am not at the point in my life where I wish to do that again. I was pretty successful in my past businesses. Now I want to write my books to help others create intentional villages from salvage, to perpetuate the idea of healthy tiny houses for an alternative to the big shitrock monstrosities that fill subdivisions by the millions now at prices few can afford without enslaving themselves for a few decades to jobs they do not like. I will be selling off massive inventories if no one chooses to purchase the building with the potential to regrow the business now as I have no intention of cranking up a business with employees, taxes, and the many headaches of entrepreneurship anymore.
So, the property is up for sale. I hope to see a great person buy the whole thing, not just the land, but the millions in inventory that I will parse out otherwise worldwide. Why not check out the incredible financing I can offer on large orders of materials for projects, especially the development of tiny villages and communities focused on breaking out of the city life. Join the millions who are choosing to raise kids in a better environment while developing the food with gardens, farm animals, and the older style of healthy homestead living. I want the wealth of materials to go to these types of projects and will do all I can to help facilitate that. Let me know if you have anyone who you can connect me with to assist them in manifesting their dreams for a better reality than what many are facing today.
Do you need some materials for some big projects? Now is the time to look into it as I will be financing materials for projects too. Do you have a tiny community intended but have not found the resources to build it yet? Check with me sooner than later to make it happen. [email protected] for more information on the property or materials, the business for your future, or more.
I offered solutions to downsize in a healthy way and create a more reasonable living scenario for millions stuck in the city, aging out with no income increases that will keep up with living costs. Millions will go homeless before the end of 2025, and nothing is being done to offset a known outcome from the high inflation of housing and food costs.
This is not a short-term problem, but if the solutions are ignored in favor of building more housing that is too expensive, too big, and poorly constructed to be of great value in fifteen years. The unhealthy materials used for housing today make people sick without knowing why. Ultimately, when the costs of maintenance, taxes, and insurance are considered, all rising faster than the incomes of elders who occupy the houses, they will be forced to move out, sell out at the worst time, and most likely to giant corporations that will use the homes for rentals as they grow their inventories using unlimited bank loans and charge the interest for the takeover costs to the renters.
This is going to continue, and clearly, I am not going to make a dent in the problem, so I am shutting down the warehouses with the materials to build 500 tiny houses, a few hundred 400+ square foot houses with lofts that would serve many well… but no one is interested in helping to make that happen, especially the government that should be supporting. What will come of the future for those who are forced out into the cold and lose all their possessions, their jobs for lack of a home to live in, and ultimately, the destruction of many families who will never recover from the loss of their home? Unfortunately, my suggestions and solutions that could be implemented to create a few hundred houses and start the trend of building with more salvaged materials and smaller houses that suit the needs of many instead of just servicing the profits of the giant house-building corporations that have no concern for the public needs, just profits.
So many people do not know they could use antique windows to build a tiny house. There are no codes on portable buildings used as tiny houses you can live in full-time if you stay away from draconian cities and counties scattered across the land. How do you find such places? Where do you go to hide and do the things you want to without being dictated to and lied to when the public gets caught up in all the problems that must subside?
Congratulations if you can’t escape the trap at the gate that lets you live without rent or income. The other 99% must consider where to live and, with consent, even have to still pay rent at 69 years old or more. If not, they kick you out the door. How does this happen as Wii age at last and realize that the living costs are far beyond what Wii had planned and Social Security is not enough on hand?
There is a rapidly growing trend toward downsizing. Despite that, there is no decent tiny housing as an alternative to apartments owned by Blackstone and the gang of elites that control most of all the housing you can get. Houses must be built that accommodate the many singles and those who want a place they don’t have to share or fear they might be forced to move away.
Can we create villages where some can live and garden and raise the farm critters that feed their families and friends? If so, we must do so soon, or there won’t be near any room in the city for the many who cannot earn the insane costs now for rent in the cities where they’re stuck.
We should come up with other places outside the big cities for the many who are now retired and do not need to work. When the checks come in, grocery stores and a trip to town will get most of what they need around the first of the month. The rest of the time, they could garden and read, get exercise, and play with the kids who the elders are raising while the youngers work outside the place where they can hide with pride, an intentional community they all call home.
Solutions are out there everywhere to fix your problems soon. You could create a new career. Look into the future with new “I”s to grow and see what you can do to form the new “You” once you finally understand what you can still do. You are never too old to learn a trade that will be better than the one that has seen its better days. You can be nearly anything you decide to be if you do the work and focus on your goals, not the next party. Join the millions in the search for how they will fit in when AI takes their job or the stores never open up where they need a million people doing robot work again. Prepare for learning new ways to thrive and get along as the old days are changing, and you will not go very far if you are not changing with them to grow better by the hour.
Join us in the transformation of a fat and lazy nation. They will have no choice soon but to get up and get out to do what they once paid others for as their saving dwindles and the dollar loses value while the Bitcoin values are bound. What have you put away to save for the rainy days that came? If not prepared and getting scared about a job or worse, a house to live in and stay warm as winter is setting in. Beware of the cold and the heating costs as this year will be the worst in many decades since the snow came down with such great haste. Know that moving is a good thing, South the way to do so that you don’t spend your saving on heating oil when it gets cold.
When you get ready to be warm and come to Salvage, Texas, for the winter storms, know that you will do just fine and share our world of daily sunshine. Thanks for thinking of us when the feet of cold snowfall, and do not hesitate to think we will wish for it down here cause that ain’t gonna happen unless it is quickly gone. Wii don’t mind a few inches in the night and for it to last for days, but by the third day, it must melt and always goes away. Thanks for thinking as you look outthe windows at the snow. The view down here is better with the windows open still. The green leaves still hold birds; yes, they will be green all year. The grass may die off for a day or two, but I trust it will grow long before you see the ground in Michigan.
Yes, it is possible to have an incredible night of sleep, healing, and transforming into the amazing person you will become in the morning. Make yourself incredible by sleeping better.
Are you hanging from the sky? Sleeping with the stars above or with the sunrise looking in your eyes at your bedside. This is my pride and joy, my bed that hangs there through each night and lets my breathing swing my bed to dream in great delight. What makes this so unique that few can know without sleeping for a night while swinging to learn of my delight? For ten years, I have floated deep throughout each night. I can not tell you of a time before that in my life when I slept and healed so well through my sweet nights.
There is no air-conditioned world, but with the air throughout the night that comes from outside where, the frogs and crickets sing to me throughout the night. Wii wonder as the dreams turn into days that amaze and thrill through the actions taken when I walk on the Earth for another day. The sunrise hits my eyes, and I charge up with rays that are the source of life. They ease my strife as I see it daily. I am so thrilled to go out into my future at the end of my night of floating in the air throughout another night. What will you make of the day ahead? A dream is fulfilled or an excuse when you end the day and pray at the bedside to do your best after one more night. What will you do when you get up and go to be the best part of tomorrow’s show?
Do you want to know the path to freedom and excellent health? Do you follow the sun’s rhythm that will make your life so grand when you charge up your sweet vessel with the sun that fills the land? Youthing is simple if you desire to live 100 years and never have cause to complain. Why doesn’t Wii teach it to the kids? More importantly, the elders wish to regain youthful living so their dreams can be lived out before their spirits move along. I live in a new truth that aging is a mental state. I have learned that you can bring decay faster if you disrespect the vessel that gives life as your body ages faster if you don’t respect it in your youth. Why not teach the old and young to remain youthful now instead? Start with how you sleep at night and wake to dream again. Love yourself and save your youth by sharing what keeps everyone healthy.
Be the example of what Wii can do once Wii get the calling and figure out what we’re here to do. Tell us how to make the future better for you if you are willing to do the work for those who live with you. Create the community and rebuild the towns. Form your future with the promise of what can come about. The community, with unity, can succeed in forming what it takes to build a village that all are thankful to be part of. Join Mii as I seek to help as many as I can to form the Outposts where the salvage can be reformed into the best houses for the future that are genuinely built the best, without the toxins and the imports, to last for a lifetime as the test.
If you want to help your town and your family or start an intentional community where the gardens can grow with the homeschooled kids into geniuses, I wish to lead us in the future. This is my mission and my prayer, that you might see and be inspired to start a Co-op there and create the houses of the future to be the very best that Wii can build together and know Wii have passed the test of proving what Wii can do locally, and thus do best. Please stop the madness of sending jobs to places far away and ship the products they create that take our jobs away. Stop the madness and the waste of assets here to grow your business, feed your family, shelter the masses, and know you are doing what God would deem the best in this life test. The hardship and necessity is the proverbial Mother of Invention on the way in the next few years.
Thanks for sharing all the information you can with those who want to do the work of salvaging or building the houses that the Baby Boomers need, like all the rest who can not afford the Blackrock prices as they control the rents. Strike out on your dreams to have a path to own a house instead. Join others in finding the land, building houses, and taking a stand for the future of housing that is made for the common man. For more information, for a building plan, for the parts and pieces to create your dream, and to send the rest of the people who will join you, follow us on Substack for the path to that sweet end.
A decade ago I attempted to help teach others how to become millionaires through salvage mining, building, and hunting the cherries often hidden in old houses, buildings, and barns.
Here is the example I created as a model. It was a successful adventure, but it was not repeated many more times after this video due to the logistics and lack of profit to support the seminars unless I were to take that on more frequently. I did not personally, as I accumulated too much inventory from salvaging and did not sell it right away but stored much of it for later. Have you listened to the Song of Salvage that was created for this video?
Today, I am preparing to release those many treasures back into the environment of people who now see the value better, want to build with salvage, and will perhaps carry on the torch of conservation and sustainable building without imports, toxic new building materials that outgas, or imports from the far sides of oceans. This is an accumulation of many decades of collecting for the times that the materials would be valued for their quality and longevity. No, it is easy to see the difference compared to expensive, new, inferior building materials that are imported, often toxic from the outgassing of chemicals, and a realization that all new building materials manufactured create more pollution. The only way to reduce consumption is to salvage, reuse, and repurpose all things in the creation lifecycle to disposal. Our goal must turn toward lengthening the life of products made for as long as possible instead of creating unrepairable disposable products out of plastics and other toxic materials once disposed of in the environment.
Here is an example of what to learn and know when doing salvage mining on old structures. It goes well with the videos on the El Campo Expedition and Salvage, a musical score that shows the action of 7 days in 7 minutes and the product, process, and success without drawing blood from the salvagers, the key important thing in the world of Salvage Mining. Join me to look at what you can do to grow your wealth, health, and homes out of salvage.
The El Campo 1860‘s Hotel Salvage Mine
Seminar #1: Salvage Mining Testing Waters for December 2011
Here is a Salvage Mining Project that I want to do as a seminar and volunteer operation during the Christmas school break since so many people have time off. Otherwise, it will be off in January 2012, possibly a bit colder by then. I have found a rare jewel of a Salvage Mine in an 1867 circa Texas Hotel. Entering is like stepping into a time capsule to see a hotel’s plain, straightforward interior from early Texas history. It looks like it was never redecorated in the century and a half since it was built. It stands bravely still while bearing the weight of giant Live Oak trees that finally leaned on its roof after growing up together side by side and shading their home from the harsh weather year-round.
I am calling to determine the interest level for participating in a holiday vacation Salvage Mining seminar on this opportunity. The location is 30 minutes from the Texas coastline in El Campo, Texas, about an hour from Houston, 2 1/2 from Austin or San Antonio, and 40 minutes from Victoria. A trip to the Texas coastline will be for nearly anyone who has not seen it yet but doesn’t expect it to look like the Pacific coastline. I will need a participation fee to cover the complexities of setting this up so far from our home base in Luling. Still, it is worth letting everyone who can share in this educational and inspiring experience. From the Hotel to the houses it forms with our imagination, I want to let some people with a passion for this come and learn, then take it out into the world and share it with others who will do the same. It takes volunteers and people who can afford to contribute money to make things like this happen, as well as time and effort in the form of human energy, to carry this concept forward. The individual sacrifice of time and money will make this a Pure Salvage Living solution more than just good conversation and fascinating coffee table books.
This “1800s Hotel is an incredible relic of the past that I hope some history buffs would want to track down, document, and even record stories from the old timers locally who will have some tall tales to tell, if I imagine right. I think past guests will come out of the woodwork to help put the past on record. While I realize some will want to keep it for its historic nature, that time is past, functionally obsolescent. It is a treasure of history that should be passed on and not be lost. It will be re-manifested as several beautiful Tiny Texas Houses that will live on for centuries if the bugs and fire leave it alone. Incredibly, the Hotel still has the original Milk paint on the beaded ceilings, walls, and parts and pieces for two floors.
There has been no re-muddling over the century and a half, just the original green milk paints and a few other great colors that most of us treasure and appreciate. It should be all square-nailed and have a quick takedown because so many boards are long runs and in good condition. The fire brick will be beautiful, as will the doors and the stairwell, which are original and clear for shorter-footed people than me. I am thrilled with this opportunity to share this trove of history, material, human energy, and future homes for generations to come. I have seen a lot of salvage, and this will be one of the cleanest, fastest, and most excellent materials I have done.
We have a unique opportunity to find a visually fantastic find from the “1870s,” with many stories to be found locally. I hope to hear and retell the tales of the life energies that passed through and walked on those 5” Long Leaf Pine floors. This simple hotel could have had hundreds, if not thousands, of guests. This Hotel was built from trees that were centuries old when they were cut down. The wood will all be Long Leaf Pine or Cypress, and we will find a good bit of both, which had to be at least 185 years old to be considered mature enough to cut. That is how long it took to instill the bug resistance and rot resistance characteristics of Cypress, as well as the unmatched strength of Long Leaf Pine. Given they were still abundant in the late “1800”’s, the quality will be unmatched by any wood found in stores today.
Fortuitously, there is a vacant farmhouse on the property with running water and electricity, so it should be possible to have an incredible camp for a fast takedown and a lesson in maximizing yield on a Salvage Mining expedition with minimal waste or hazard. Though it will need some cleanup, with water and electricity for camping out and having RV space and electric water connection for additional people, we should have some fun. Can I set it up yet? I’m unsure of that, but it is one of my possible realizable goals. It just sealed the deal on the house last week.
What it will take.
If we do a seminar and have 10 (=/—depending on the level of paid response based on resources needed to host it) paid people or volunteers, we could take it down over a weekend if everyone gets on it. The weather cooperates, nothing goes wrong, and we have the nail shooter or two to speed up the cleanup. Notice how that “nothing goes wrong slips in?”
Benefits will include:
Plans for the specialty tools used to take the house apart, The chance to get sets of plans as a package that the Hotel creates 1st chance to be part of a seminar on building a house from this material
Some parts and pieces of the Hotel to take home Certification for passing Salvage Mining 101 to become a Pure Salvage Miner To be a charter member of a movement that needs you to grow into a solution for our present world needs and preservation To contribute to creating a video, being in the credits for your work, and being a part of the action and dialogue in a Pure Salvage Living event.
The seminar could include some food, paperwork, an early draft of parts of our Ebook, and plans for the houses that will be created from the Hotel we take down. That could be three or four Tiny Texas Houses or more before we are done. The package of pictures, plans, materials to be taken from the site, participation in tear down, and education should be worth the $495-$750 for the seminar, several levels depending on care, food, and package upgrades like the video. I aim to produce an informative and educational tool for each Salvage Mining student who comes for the event and an offering to what I hope will be a growing membership in the Pure Salvage Living world ahead. I am sure I will involve some volunteers who may see future opportunities evolve from this endeavor, such as careers and mentoring opportunities that will change lives before they are passed.
T-shirts, armbands, and a great El Campos Salvage Mine Poster since it is so picturesque. Imagine one showing it up in the middle and various stages coming down pictured smaller around the outer edge. The video and the accessories are worth $100 in such a package or more. Packages of nails, parts, and pieces will be marketed to help pay for production and get the story out to everyone. This is possible for volunteers, too, because I believe that taking home the parts and pieces will tell a story a hundred times instead of just a few and connect to the tangible memory we can easily share to educate and inspire the children who will live in these houses one day if I succeed.
We will include square nails, beaded wood, parts and pieces found along the way, and great memories that will last a lifetime for each participant in the package. The quantity recovered, and the number of participants will limit the gifts.
Scrap packages for making projects from your part of the Booty from the Salvage Mine. This is one of the best projects of my career, though it may look like nothing from the outside because it has:
Great pre-1900 circa materials, minimal updating over its life
Very little trash or waste from the project Nearly not obvious contaminants Easy takedown, Relatively speaking, of course. Easy nail removal due to having so many square nails. A nail remover gun will be on hand. Initially, they only had a few nails used as they were scarce.
The seminar fee would include some of the house wood and materials as part of the seminar cost, as in 15-25 square feet of the beaded wood or other packages that we will create as the desire for what people would like is clarified. Window sashes with blown glass, hand-made bricks, firebricks, and other treasures found will also be available for sale within the group first.
The chamber stove will be traded off or kept for the TTH community kitchen.
In a perfect world, we create some things to build from the parts and offer them in the seminar program as a parts package.
Short notice limited entry into the seminar, prepaid, nonrefundable. Reservation: 3 days, two nights, or how many days, or full project commitment?
Absolute Liability waivers signed …. required. We cannot be responsible or insure people against the many hazards of salvage any more than the drive or the airplane trip here. This is old fashioned being responsible for yourself if you agree to come, for though I will do my best to give fair warning about wearing the right shoes or gloves, or how things fall from overhead, I cannot keep mistakes and fate from coming into play. I don’t want anyone to come with expectations that I can ensure nothing will go wrong, so please don’t hold me to it.
By participating, you agree that Pure Salvage Living will keep the Filming rights and releases for use in our documentary about the project. Credits for all involved will be included in the film.
The dates and times need to be confirmed, but it is hard not to lean toward the end of the month due to the scheduling nightmare this will create at Tiny Texas. it would be a great way to bring in the New Year symbolically, out with the old, and in with the new. This will be a year of this metaphor taking hold of our world in a way we have never imagined. I hope my vision for a Pure Salvage Living Movement can be one of the many solutions we need to get us through it and on a better path as a nation and a world.
Copies of the filming of the Salvage Mining of our 1867 Texas Hotel will be available in DVD and accessible to the volunteers and seminar participants in
the film or part of the project. Participants are included in the credits, but there will be no future income from any video production if one happens.
Since salvager tools are not as common as most we offer:
Plans for the specialty tools used to take the house apart,
Sell sets of plans as a package that the Hotel creates
Have a seminar on building one of them, and 1st chance to be part of the project will include lessons on Flooring pullers. Beam bars Giant crowbars Med-small bars Crow’s feet and eagles claw 1890’s Nail pullersAntique Nail pullers Blacksmith tools that work New Nail Pliers Pneumatic Nailers make work fast and easy. I will show the best tools and how to use them. Techniques for different woodDe-nailing for the preservation of primary surface Using leverage for speed The Zen of Nail-pulling 101 Mind over Muscle and rhythm means higher yield and efficiency. Teach nail-pulling techniques that speed up productivity. Possible associated class: The 4-hour class would teach how to build all custom tools ✤ precut parts but do one, for example ✤ offer packages of precut parts for welding later. ✤ tools available for sale or order to be made:✤. Take orders for those we can fabricate ✤ possibly have some others for sale ✤ Memory specialized tools because we ✤ need more for use that could be sold at the end of the project ✤ Or give them away as prizes for the best user of each
Teach some of the terminology we use in the business: Tongue and groove
Board and batten Beaded wood Shiplap Dimensional lumber terminology, Etc
Talks about how to calculate quantities of materials Estimating Salvage Value Sorting for more value etc Appraising value after salvage
Marketing materials, if not needed for the project Bartering materials for the materials market
Talks on wood identification for Texas wood of the last century
Cypress Long Leaf Pine Black Walnut Loblolly Pine Mesquite (will bring samples) Red Oak White Oak Live Oak Cottonwood Cedar Fir (imported) >40 yr old Pines
Discuss the Sequence for tearing down a house of this type.
✦ roof or if raining ✦ inner walls ✦ ceiling down ✦ Discuss the various hazards of Salvage Mining, including war stories
Discuss the precautions people should consider taking and why.
Packing the materials properly on a trailer for transport
level load balanced load so as not tongue light properly strapped load sized sorted de-nailed flags on over-length loads
Proper materials storage for maximum lifespan
Stacking Covering Spacing from ground Spacing between wood types Shorts and Longs
Identifying wood damage due to insects and rot
Termite damage and type Wood Bores Wood Rot Dry Rot
Rodent Damage Water Damage
Corrections and treatments are needed for wood damage and issues. Antique Builders Hardware
Door Hardware of this period Window Hardware
Possibly a tutorial on inspection Cleaning Repair The terminology for working with builders’ hardware and paperwork is to be included in the package.
Much of this will depend on how much time the participants are willing to spend listening to me talk. I aim to record as much as possible so I don’t have to repeat it a million times. Then, everyone can appreciate the story this Hotel will be able to tell to billions of others down the road. I seek an inspirational example of what human energy can do. We can show it to people, plant the seeds of inspiration, fuel the imagination, and provide the spark to ignite our passion and wake up that fire within to save our world. It behooves us to save our past, to use it to build a new world that will look so much like the best of the old paradigm, to not only house us into the next century but remind us of the best parts of humanities past that need to be preserved as carefully as our planet.
If you can support us, either by being here as a seminar participant, donating to help make it happen (no, we are not 501C anything), in time, money, and support, Thank you in advance for your participation if you choose, but foremost just for having been interested in this dialogue, considered this perspective, and taken the time to read this far.
I intend to take what we have done so far and share the process and the results with the people it will benefit the most. This is the next mission in our growth. I believe the changes will come from planting the seeds and the visual images proving it can be done. Ultimately, it is the physical experience of what it feels like, not just on the outside, but on the inside, when you sense the energy of the materials and their past lives and know you preserved it for another century. This is an opportunity to change the world on an individual level and be part of the dialogue in our society through the actions we take in our daily lives, not the words we speak but never act on.
Interested? Salvage Mining Sponsors
Like-minded businesses wanting to help Salvage Tool Makers Salvage Furniture Makers Local businesses wanting to have people share their food and hotels. National Movements that wish to support Pure Salvage Living
Salvage Mining Mentors & Donors
Generous entities that support saving history, as well as the parts and pieces that made it all possible. Non-profits are interested in sharing the benefits and energy that unity can create for this cause.
Private people who are limited physically for any of many reasons but want to show their support, come watch and be a part of this, or get a package from it and learn about it afterward. People who are too far away to come but want to offer support to prove we can do the same near their hometowns and spread the Pure Salvage Living movement there, too.
Salvage Mining Apprentices (paying seminar attendees with benefits) Sacrifice to learn comes in many forms, but the time is hard to give anymore when the job calls, so paying for the knowledge on a crash course but not having to spend much time costs money. Please know that the seminar fees will be worth the experience you help make it be, and I will do all I can to make it life-changing in every way I can.
Volunteers, likewise, work pays for the knowledge and the time, but with slim resources comes slim opportunities. I sympathize and want to offer up some openings to overcome this problem, but camping, water, and space may be tight and space to work without hurting each other. Two shorter shifts are possible, and we could make it look like the magic it should be. There are lots of nails for everyone, and the volunteers must prove themselves to work their way up the Apprenticeship ladder.
I will offer up Salvage Mining Certificates at the end of the Salvage job for various positions and achievements with every Salvage Mining Expedition. I am sure these awards will always be the most prized and duly decorated.
Salvage Mining Veterans and Old Timers
If you have a history, recent or extended in the past If you know about how this was built because you did it once as a boy If you know your wood and grew up in the Lumber Industry when Texas was a forest. If you have the hotel’s story because you love the history, it is vital to respect salvage mining. If you wish to share the last vestiges of a time when we built with our hand tools, not electricity,
Suppose you spent your life Salvaging Mining as a business or having the opportunity to build a home for your family. Most have forgotten how many people were able to build houses in America with materials salvaged after storms, fires, earthquakes, and wars. It’s been a long time since they needed to.
If you remember building out of 99% Pure Salvage in the old days when every board and nail had a value that could not be matched by any reasonable means. Salvage Building is not a new occupation or idea.
If the weather and opportunity permit, I hope to assemble some real old-timers to tell tales in the evenings after the work day is done and the hammers come to rest. Since that will only be for a few hours, I would like to limit the number of speakers yet offer the chance for a number to come, especially the ones who can support us as donors and mentors.
Salvage Mining Support Services Food
Video Photography Internet support Editing support Event coordinating skills Waste and clean-up service
Salvage Mining Volunteers (can also be from the ranks of all above)
Physically participate in take-down Support help in food, sanitation, Nursing if we need it, as a healer, not a pro Cooks if we are to create an onsite fare for a variety Music, yes, there is enough space for a couple of styles of tunes.
I’m hoping for the best, and this could be the test.
If it works, we have another possible January date closer to New Braunfels and Seguin, Texas. More info on that teaser will come later. I’m glad you read this far.
Not long after this seminar, the desire for more ended. This was the first year after my son, Adam Brad Kittel, passed on to the other side of the veil of life.
I did have a couple more seminars, but there came a time after my son passed when the desire to work so hard slipped away to focus on other things. How do Wii take these treasures and put them back to use, except by convincing others that it is the right way to move again? Salvage mining, building, and hunting could provide millions of jobs, houses, and resources that would not have to be imported to build a new generation of housing where it is needed most, in the lower-income classes where mansions for their old age are not possible as it is for the 1% at the top of the economic spectrum. The time is here to develop new ways to create tinier housing that can be grouped on lands instead of lawns with gardens and trees growing all about. When will the world wake up?
I grew up liking cash, but it seems to be losing its luster as a fiat currency awaiting a Black Swan event, Brics hitting the dollar in the face, and then the race to dump them may follow.
Is Bitcoin the answer for a dying dollar? Once, I laughed like many when it was first being launched. I passed up buying it for a buck or two a coin simply because it was too hard to be sure I could set it all up. I see it now! It can be a viable way to transfer things from Mii to you, but I have some work to do to get up to speed. Therefore, I am just beginning to create the path for Bitcoins to buy products to build with; a million reasons for trading this or that in a cybercoin seems weird, but so does the rest of the world. I am ready to put up a couple of million for sale using Bitcoin and the launch of SalvagedBitsocoin.com soon as the vehicle for salvage to Bitcoin to take it to the next level.
Am I drifting into the haze by saying I will accept a million dollars in Bitcoin for a million dollars in Cobalt Blue Japanese tile, or Long Leaf Pine beams, fantastic hardware, and other rare architectural things? Yes, I am finally ready to believe that the coin can achieve a value that may last if I can keep from losing the wallet until I try to spend what I might make.
Please tell those who own Bitcoin I will help turn them into houses with parts as good as gold. Who do you know has a stash of Bitcoin? I have met a few lucky wise ones who invested their few dollars at a time when they only cost $1. So, I will post a few pictures of what could be bought with Bitcoins and see if there are people out there who own them and want to use them in such ways as might escape the gaze of those who wish to tax such things as barter and exchanges that have no value, technically, just cyber currency that no one can see traded for salvage; trash in so far as the government can see.
I am on a path to making the world safe and accessible. The IRS has never shown much concern for me except to overtax and spend it on wars and helping illegals stay free. I think it would be good to see some more supportive currency than one that gets taxed all to hell for using it to remain free as an American, earning the money it is taking to support 30,000,000 illegal immigrants brought here atop the cost of wars afar.
I want to see the world change and give way to the coming days when Wii, the people, can speak freely and stop the madness that Wii see. I want to help the others who desire to fix the things they screwed up in the last few decades, as the oligarchs just lost their heads. The Koch and Gates sorts, with their crowds of other global billionaires that want to kill us off, must go, and perhaps the good billionaires will do what’s right or know the world may take them all down, too. Maybe they will show up with Bitcoin to buy some things, and I can ask and let you know what I see. LoL.
So, if you have a Bitcoin and want to buy some things, I will figure out how to do such gigs. Please comment, share, and visit if you can. Stay a night and shop for what’s right, then Wii can do a Bitcoin dance and let your dreams come to show the value of the Bitcoins you were smart enough to buy when it was a miraculous bargain in comparison. I will crank up salvagedbitsocoin.com if there is a good response.
All who buy into the Salvage, Texas offer will include a buyback of three times the money in inventory if you choose to sell out your interest later. This is intended to assure any investor that they will get triple their money if they only want to invest and help for a couple of years, a year, or until they get land to move the house they could build in our facility to take to your property when ready. Not only will you get a bargain on the materials, but the place to build and a community that will help you create your dream home to stay and live in Salvage or to take away one day and cash out of your part in Salvage, Texas being manifested.
Please get in touch with us, regardless of whether you have Bitcoin, if you would like to invest, help create housing solutions, and possibly make it a career to share your talents with others in the coming years. [email protected].
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.
