The Loopholer grows a bedroom window, for air flow, & rising-sun view. June/July Super Sale 4 YOU!

I know that when I start a house, it will look like trash to some who see it fitting together organically. I wander through the warehouses, listening for the calls of the wood and trim to go around the windows and doors. In this case, the Bear and Claw trim will surround the house, just enough, I think, to have it look fantastic when repainted, a big job.

I realize, as I compose with dirty, dusty parts that cleaning will expose, that they have great character and grain that few will see as I screw and nail. Later, when it gets washed and oiled, some of it painted, all of it just toil, human energy working to compose from the parts a house one could live in that might win some hearts. What I see in my head as I screw each board and beam is likely not the same as what the other people see. I find myself composing with parts I run across as I wander through the warehouse, as I would with customers.

Show me what you like and how you envision growing a house, and I can help you find the parts and design the home to get started. Then you can see workers locally who will be able to handle the assembly. It will be cheaper to use those who live near you to employ than to ship it across the country, with high costs and no joy. From any distance, it’s as if by magic, we can work together using phones, videos, and pictures, and with pleasure, see your house materialize on your land to be your pride and joy.

So, imagine what you might like in a tiny getaway. Come and search for parts you like to tell your own story. I can help by sketching parts and creating plans for those who love House Art and want to give their best to build a healthy house again, just as we used to do. I remember taking down so many homes that were shipped around by Sears and Montgomery Ward to be built in small towns across the land. I have the parts and pieces to build houses once again so that you can do all the things you see on the land that you live on.

Join me in the escapades of creating homes and communities. Don’t think that only tiny homes can grow from salvage, for I have shown that big houses can be built from salvage, too. How about checking out the dreams you have for homes and creating them with healthy materials, free from imports and toxic parts that outgas and cause significant harm, yet are still used every day? I do not wonder, nor should you fear, that anyone can go wrong when you use the best of the past to build a future you can live in with pride. May you have the chance to create the vision or the dream you will. Thank you for following and watching. You can then bring others to buy, and you’ll win the parts you need to help bring your dream to life. Yes, you can earn commissions by selling what some people need in the town where you live if you tell them, perhaps bring, your friends and relatives who may be considering building a home or have a barn they want to modify to create a condo hidden inside. Please let us know so that you can see the many deals I will offer, in addition to what will be free to the people who come to help move things and load up the windows, doors, and other items.

Join us on weekends, as I will be taking appointments into June to work with as many people as possible and help them along. Do you want to get the parts? The doors, windows, and trim that we need to start designing to create a plan for wood throughout the house.

We can offer it at a lower price than Sheetrock if you visit our June and July Super Sale to clear warehouses that have been sitting idle for a long time. Come for a chance to build with the wood on ceilings and the walls, the floors, and in the loft, we can create houses that no one will ever know was made from trash… or salvage, as some know, certainly not worthless if you use it to build a home. I have proven that this can be done, not just well, but while having fun. Create without perfection for perfunction is all we need to have a home that will last for a lifetime, and still be able to roam.

Want more information? Make comments, share, and visit the websites where the articles will guide you on how to build them correctly. TinyTexasHouses.substack.com or TinyTexasHouses.com for more information, or to answer questions you may have. Become a paid subscriber and get discounts and much more, including the chance to make a good living selling parts for other homes. If you sell Cobalt Roofing tile for a home or two, you might earn enough commission to cover all the parts you need to build your own.

Why not open up your mind to making money with your time by sharing your knowledge with others? Then, tell me what they are searching for, come with them if you can, and explore the possibilities in their collections. This could become your side gig for earning an income by providing services such as locating, helping pick out, shipping, and more for all of the windows, doors, floors, trim, siding, ceilings, lofts, beams, hardware, and other items. Yes, you could barter your time and services for salvaged materials to legally avoid being taxed on your income. The IRS cannot value salvage, effectively treating it as trash for tax purposes, until cash exchanges hands. Time is Free. I’d rather barter and trade than pay taxes, if I can do it legally. See the logic and the law: Rather than paying taxes on wages earned from working full-time. This is a way to fill in your weekends and make more profit than during the weekdays. Ready to step up to being a salesperson for salvage miners, builders, and more? Why not?

You might see a commission full of all the parts that you may ever need.

How easy can it get? Or, better yet, if harder, how fast can you reach your goals, find success, and make a lot of money if that is what you want to get when you are done helping us empty a significant portion of our warehouse nests?

We have enough beams, flooring, trim, siding, windows, doors, and much more than most would need to build a few hundred small houses, a few large ones, or hundreds of tiny houses spread across the land.

What do you see in your future that we can help meet the demands that it takes to build with quality and an ethos worth preserving?

Quality in building houses that last a lifetime or two. Such is the story of the wood I use, which still has hundreds of years of life, like the windows and doors, without trees being cut, without any more energy wasted, either human or electric.

If you come and spend an evening after working hours to see the warehouses and choose to stay overnight in a B&B, then you can also go swimming if you wish. Kayaking, or even hiking in the woods, will certainly ground you and help you focus on manifesting your dreams, so that they live on long after us. This is Dragon’s Lair, over 20 feet deep right now, and was a dream I fulfilled when I was 66 years old. Never stop dreaming, creating, and believing in the miracles of a wonderful God. Exemplify what is possible and grow solutions with your life energy daily. Blessings to your dreams coming true if you are willing to work for them and believe, then do what you must do to make them happen for you.

#Youthing through grounding, creating, and having faith that I am on a mission worth living my best for and lasting as long as possible. This is a matter of breathing right, moving well, staying limber, and eating well. Honor thy vessel, the most essential home for your Spirit to reside in, and then create the houses that will protect your boat and your family, your community, no matter where you roam, with salvage.

This is the best approach I know and have tested to demonstrate that the Proof of Concept is ready to proceed. Now, how do I let others grow this business ever on, for I can’t wait forever before I am gone?

Why have the greatest creations from salvage been ignored by the conventional world of designers?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What do you see that could be considered trash, thrown in a landfill instead of being turned into a house? By many people’s standards, this house is junk… just trashy from the start. What will it look like when it is rebuilt? Watch and see, as well as join Mii for sales of parts and pieces, designs to help you build, and consulting from a distance, so that you will succeed if you have the will. Join Mii through subscriptions and stay up-to-date with all the information you need, as well as have the opportunity to ask questions if you have a project to complete.

Trim from the 1930s and siding from the early 1900s. All the pieces are from many decades past, so that no new trees get cut to create this tiny house. All the glass was made a century ago, as well as the hardware that will go on the doors and windows. Sustainable in ways that no new material can be, based on the resources or the human energy, salvage is the best way to save on time, materials, and is free.

I bought this railing for a job in Round Top in 2010. I have wanted to put them in a house for 15 years. The time has come. Like it? Cypress railing from the 1890s.

There will be a deck below as well as a pole to tie into the one above. Imagine a deck extending above and across the front to the other side, with an additional upper deck to connect and complete the wrap-around. How does that sound? Herbs and veggies growing on your balconies.

There’s a lot of scraping to do before painting, but the color selection will lead to an incredible house. There are many details to attend to, but when completed, it will look like a lot of fun instead of work. With a passion and inspiration, it’s not work, just life hours spent creating a gratifying thing called a home. Pour your heart into our home, and you will find why Home is where the Heart is when you’re done. Blood, Sweat, and Tears go into building our own homes with our hands, feet, and minds involved.

This house is called the “Loopholer” because it was designed to circumvent the Neighborhood regulations that prevent one from placing a tiny house in a station near their home. Neighborhoods that do not want to see you have a place to go besides the house that Wii all know is not the same as a studio. Meditation or creation, whether as an artist or for personal health, the extra space is valuable. Yet, you must use stealth to enter many yards where the Neighborhood Association acts as if it were a Czar and has the right to tell you nearly anything it wants about how you live and what you build on your lot. It’s under 140 square feet and does not have a bathroom, a kitchen, or a way to prevent it from being placed in your backyard in many of the places where they have stopped so far.

June Sale starts in just a few days, so please plan, watch, get your goals list together, and think about what you might need to get started in June and July of 2025 to make your dreams for a tiny getaway house come true—Brad@TinyTexasHouses.com for more information.

What makes better proof than living examples of #Youthing? To see is to believe for Mii at 70.

Once I saw what others had proven could be achieved, like the 4-minute mile, I decided to agree and tap into my Placebo Power to achieve incredible effects. For a crippled kid w/ lifelong scoliosis: How good can it get

TINY TEXAS HOUSES NEWSLETTER

MAY 30, 2025

You can not read a book from the outside without opening the leather covers, but the story underneath is seldom what you think, and so was I. I did not know who I was yet, or what I would yet be at thirty, let alone that Wii do not grow up until nearly seventy. **What a ride it would be, and none of us can see what’s yet to come, some used to say. That is not true.**

If you had told me when I was 30 that I would be in better shape at 70, I would have laughed so hard I would have cried. What a joke that would have been when I could barely get out of bed each day, in pain and hurting to walk, I never saw this day. I looked good when I got straightened out, and with pot to kill the pain, I gave it up when Adam was 11, while he was very young and got used to the hurting, but sometimes barely walking at all. I overcame some limits when I began to smoke pot again, so that I could get past the pain I still had when I began working out with weights, so that I could stay stronger than my kid.

The six-pack was the classic test to see if you were fit, but it didn’t reveal anything about the spine, the gut, or the heart. You can look like a million bucks, but harbor anger in your heart that destroys the happiness you seek, despite what you see that may appear good. Being candy is a curse as it causes so many to pretend they care for more than fantasy, a path that always ends.

My son grew up to 6’4”, but I could only gain and add more muscle. For the first time, I worked out in a gym with weights and gained a lot of strength with Muscle Milk and a high-calorie diet. Then I got hurt, my bursa swelled, and the left-hand usage went to Hell. I could not work out, as I saw the flab quickly replace the muscle in my abs. Love Handles… Hell No and so much more did go as the year of my life changes came to Mii as I tore a giant hole in my gut, an upper abdominal hernia became the last thing to happen to Mii to make me stop.

This was Adam Brad Kittel. Notre Dame Cathedral is where I went to pick him up to bring him back to America from their morgue. He put my words to music before he left on his sojourn that took him off to Paris, France, where I had been forewarned he would die. When he disappeared while there, I finally went, too late, but with care, to bring him home to rest once God had taken him back to where he came from. He left a song… The Song of Salvage that he created from my poem. Please listen for it tells the story of my life and why I will roam the world to talk salvage till the day I have no voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxofbRksKLE

I would put my gut back into the hole the size of two and a half fingers in my gut. The doctors said I had to have surgery to make it right. I disagreed. They said I could not heal the hole. It’s been nearly 20 years, I know, but I am finally near. The new toys that emit light, you see, and vibrate at a frequency that helped me heal the last of my Mii, finally allowing me to see this body in my 70s. So I could look normal every day. Still, the scoliosis got worse later as I grew to be a father to a son who grew much taller and motivated his Daddy (Mii) to get in better shape when I was just past forty. We went out playing paintball for half a sunny day, and the next day I woke up feeling like a truck had run me down and realized at forty-five, I had to work out to keep up, but how? I gave up on keeping up, and when Adam passed, I learned at last what it meant to die inside.

How can one know that, just as a child, the problems you have started with can disappear over time? No one ever told me that, instead that I was broke and the best hope was be crippled and take your beatings without words. Someone should tell children that they can recover from the many traumas of our youth when Wii believe and grow. Year by year, and then by decades, few of us are taught that there is a way to regenerate and become #Youthful once again. #Youthing is a state of mind that lets your body leave behind preconditioned notions that it must look like crap with age. Stop believing what you see on TV to sell you makeup and learn that health encompasses your whole body, not just its appearance.

Your head and heart, your gut and spirit, all play a part in the people who affect your life from the moment it starts. Few things are by chance, I say, though some will think differently. I have found that most is intended, and Wii are meant to do most of what Wii do. Every time I thought I saw that magic answer or great pill that would give Mii a new way to stay young, it was just a way to do what could be done quite naturally, but no one told us what to do.

Now Wii have the science. The evidence suggests that grounding our body and practicing deep breathing brings significant health benefits. Stop ingesting poison daily, toxins in the food, and get the exercise to help your body clear the rest. Build a better body in just seven years; you’ll see that the path to youthful living is the secret to longevity. Activity is what it takes to keep the body you make as strong and limber as possible, so that it stays that way until the very end. Once your time is up and you decide to leave behind the body that your spirit inhabits, that will pass just fine, for you know you lived the best of your life and fulfilled it to the end, and you move on.

Whoever heard of Bear Claw Trim for your house? Sounds odd but it was a 1930s hotty.

The color stumped me as I bought this pattern from three different flea market vendors over a years time. They were not from the same house or state… but all the same color.

TINY TEXAS HOUSES NEWSLETTER

MAY 27, 2025

Eventually, I came across another old-timer who knew more about the trim of the past than I did. It turns out that the catalog images were in color by the 1930s, and pastels, as well as other new color schemes, were being marketed. In this case, the trim came in the color of the paint pictured in the catalog. What a great novelty to sell with in a day when catalog sales were King. Sears, Montgomery Ward, JCPenney, and many other retail catalogs were touting items to ship by train to your local town. Here are some of the things you would see on a train from the catalog stores in the old days.

Windows and doors with their trim, jambs, and even entire houses could be ordered by catalog and dropped off at the local train station where armies of carpenters would be available to put the packages together in areas that were developing, particularly along railroad lines as these packages came before the time of the cross country trucking industry that could reach small towns. Rails were the path to riches out west and enabled the shipment of all products milled in Galveston, Houston, and other coastal towns, utilizing shipping and ports to increase commerce in and out of Texas in the 1800s.

You can see one of the doors, some trim, beaded wood, and windows of several eras assembled for this project. This house project began seven years ago, before my sabbatical from business. It was created as a teaching tool and a seminar-training house, and as a consequence, it has a few remnants of historical inaccuracy. I am hiding mistakes fairly well, enough for perfunctionism to apply. This has many things that even a young teenage girl can help install. I created a design using the organic selection from the massive inventory when students were putting things together in a hurry. Not a worry, but it shows when you get to the trim. OMG funny.

So the parts and pieces, 95% Pure Salvaged Materials, brought back to life, have saved a tree and many calories of heat required to make the glass. The labor for making the windows and doors was also saved, a significant amount at today’s labor costs for unskilled help. The trim will need repainting, but the ease with which it went on made up for that. I trimmed out the front in about two hours, maybe three, counting the time spent sorting through the trim to find where the stack would fit. By the general organic building miracle of synchronicity, the parts were just enough: four inches long on the corners. Between all the broken pieces, I have enough to build one tiny house in a very unusual style. I have enough of this Bear Claw Trim to do another house, but I doubt you or I will see it again.

One of my preferred options is to see this sell to someone who will play a part in helping set up the trust with land and materials to build out another 40 houses to stay on the ten acres, and spaces to teach others how to launch their Outposts as local Co-ops to fuel the growth of this industry. I hope you will like the progress and share it so others can see what is possible. If they come to get the materials packages for a few thousand each, they could build houses like this at your location, creating the most amazing lifelong treasures you can live in and call art. Master suites are where Wii sleep at night, not do everything at all times. Offices and kitchens, laundry spaces are just fine, but not in my master bedroom, where my rest and recuperation is my focus when I proceed the half mile walking grounded (leather on the Earth for a half mile before I sleep and after I awaken is amazingly energizing and calming as I go to my house each night. I’m free.

I have a space to sit and chat or delve into discussions, where no one bothers us when someone else is present. I love spending intimate time with the one I love, but I’m not fond of the public visiting to see what’s going on. My private space is my tiny house, and Trinity has hers, so that Wii get to sleep each night and rise without a care. Dream great dreams and heal each day to become the best in every way. This is where I go to sleep, a special time for meditation and breathing.

The time I seek when I’m there is one without a care for the world that I will leave behind when my pillow meets my head. Savor and give gratitude when you have a dream space that you can hold in your heart. Home is where the heart is, but some of us get confused into thinking a big box of Sheetrock is a home with a heart that effortlessly exudes the quality of love and life that a wooden house can do. They are not the same, and science now proves that the grain you see in the wood on the walls will bring your mind to ease. Like a fireplace that helps calm the mind that races, the soothing textures and colors naturally draw your eyes and brain in. So much to see and savor, like candy for the brain, and it helps to calm, ease the mind, and let you sleep each day without the stress of city lights, traffic, or EMF. A house that does not have them but is nestled in the trees.

Trinity has a house bigger than Mii, but well deserved indeed. It has the upgrades and the size to make this a delight to see. See the posts on her progress as she will soon be ready to pass the test of passage… to the resting space for this Tiny Texas Classic Gypsy Wagon Two.

This is not one of the sweetest houses, nor the biggest I have done, but the idea was to create many, so there would be lots to choose from, not just one, and inspire others to keep building and having so much fun creating artful houses that will suit nearly anyone. Want some Bear Claw trim to dress up the front of your home? I do have a little bit left, so please hurry and send an email if you’re interested in investing in a Tiny Texas House in Salvage, Texas, or if you’d like the trim for a tiny house on your land.

What sort of windows do you see through? Is the image distorted, like reality is for many?

Handmade glass blown from the lungs of men who sucked up air and blew it into a ball of molten glass to form the bubbles that became our window panes. Amazing what some can do with sand and fire.

TINY TEXAS HOUSES NEWSLETTER

MAY 20, 2025

Here is a new window for the Loopholer to share with the generations that will see what someone made with care. Long ago, they pulled the coal and melted sand to make this mold full of glass that few would know could last a century or more. Now, I use it for the sight that I suspect will delight those who see the many versions of one image as it’s converted into many identical parts, not pieces separated, but each complete, like us, inside.

Imagine picking out the minerals that would cool to make these colors in the molten glass cooking in an oven filled with coal pulled from mines by twelve-year-olds. There was a time when all worked to refine the metals and the ores that formed our great society before we lost it all. Something happened to wipe out the skills and memories of how we made such wonders, and with so few people on the Earth to do those things. From my point of view, the elders of long ago seem pretty bright compared to all the people I usually see now. What changed? Electricity, education, lack of work ethic, or training? What caused our society to forget how to be so creative and industrious as to create such things as there once were but can not be found today? How did such memory and skills fade away?

From handcrafted cabinetry with no veneer, just the Tiger Oak you see, and the natural colors, the great old grain, the things that make the old things seem so special and strange. This is what I want to save and know the kids will too, once they see that most of what was made has been wasted before it was due to be obsolete or worthless to the people who could see its value now. Quality is easy to see in the stuff that was made in the last century. Let’s preserve and reuse all that we can find and save to stall the loss of all the past we knew when the people had the skills and creativity, too. Nurture this by showing the kids now born that this is still a thing that we appreciate this way.

Please wait until it’s finished, I often have to say, because it can look pretty ugly while the design is still in play. Watch the pieces fall in place as if an organic space finds and fills the voids to be a piece of art for all to see. Perfection is so overrated and often leads to copies made to look as if they are so fine, but made by the dozen for the artistically blind. What are you seeking in a master suite or two? How fancy of a kitchen with a space to eat and do all the things that do not need your bedroom nearby to share, and savor your isolation as you sleep the night away.

There are so many choices in the path that we create on our journey through this life we live, and many celebrate. If you want a chapel, I may have a part or two that could make your special spaces seem more incredible than most do. Join me in the hunt for treasures pulled out of the past as we celebrate the decades of collecting all about, and now to share the best of what we found to grow the crowd of houses that find new life that we all can celebrate. Sustainable, incredible, beautiful, and strong, these houses will last a lifetime.

May your prayers and blessings bring you the chance to finally see a path to getting what you want. Hopefully, you’ll see that this great sale and timing—yes, it’s 2025, and Wii—the people of the world have much to do to thrive. Break free of those decisions to downsize and live some more with the freedom, then travel and “YOUTH” your way to more fun than you ever had when working like a drone.

Savoring the Dayz is something all should do by understanding they can change the world if they do the work it takes to celebrate #Youthing, then it can be true.

Become a great example once you are free from the stress, with time to do the work it takes to get back in shape, and have a great time like I do. Learn to get your balance back, your strength and speed, there is so much. Once you do the work, an hour a day, four days a week… and see the difference you can make in how you age to regain your strength. Why not open up your mind to what could be more well-defined? Aging need not be so bad as I was taught when I was a broken young lad. You need not pay the price and never get better as you age, but you would not dare believe it unless you see how well this stage can be. I hope to help exemplify it so that you can be freed to #Youth your way to loving the day you hit 70, as I soon hope to be.

Taking away human rights because of the sex of a body one is born into is insanely wrong, yet it is touted as the path for social progress by millions of people, particularly men in the world. Killing off the weak, the passive, ignorant, and compliant is a goal of the megalomaniacs and elite that want the global population reduced by billions and the control of the remainder of humans, critters, and plant life dominated by them and their ability to limit the water anyone can have each day to survive on. This is the path to global domination, not oil, gas, or money, but water. Raping and killing solely due to the religion one chooses to follow can not lead to peace in the world. The madness does not seem to stop, yet the elite go forward, ignoring the consequences until the time comes to divide the remainder and determine who gets the profits after the people that once owned property, lost in war, are gone.

This is madness, but it has gone on for thousands of years. Anyone who thinks it will change and that global peace will follow soon must figure out how to stop the madness and find a middle ground. In the meantime, the opportunity to thrive is shrinking in the face of bankers and billionaires tightening the noose of currency and debt that it takes for survival. They have no heart, but corporate veins and organs that suck the life from their depositors and those they loan money to until they can take away the assets from everyone possible later. The Buy-Ins have been legislated to protect the banks, not the people, and soon they will pull that trigger and try to take the bulk of the assets left. Can profiteers who feed on the money of the masses ever protect and care for those they are fleecing, except to lead them to the slaughterhouse as most shepherds do?

Who is your Shepherd, and what do you hear you are being told to do? If you stop to think and question: what will happen to you? Do you follow politics, religions, or some cult that hopes to mature into a culture that consumes the people who are in it when it blooms? Who or what determines who tells the shepherds what to do? It is not Mii, the one you see, nor likely is it you. Who do you follow into the future? Do you question how they rule? If not, are you a fool?

No one can survive without clean, salt-free water to drink for very long. Bacteria, viruses, and parasites thrive in the waters that can cause humans to die, and the pollution of the accessible water is causing cancer and death for those who can not afford clean water. The consequences of plastics, toxins, medicines, pesticides, fungicides, and chemicals of extreme sorts, like PFAS, that never go away rapidly, make the environment for all living beings toxic. Despite our full knowing and seeing who has hidden he evidence and profited off the disasters now at hand, they go free, Golden Parachutes and Name-changing magic to disappear in the lost memories of the masses dying off so fast. No one will remember soon, and thus no one will be punished for the crimes against humanity if the masses are nearly gone. This is an excellent plan if you are in that minority that expects to survive. I may prefer being outside looking in. You? Are you preparing for a day when you may need skills you don’t have?

Still, the average person in the public is ignorant of the problems and consequences, oblivious to the cause of their illnesses, energy levels, and clarity of thought due to their dumbed-down state of mind. This has become epidemic in proportion to the populations that can stop the progress of the evil few that seek to contain, control, and determine the fate of the remaining 95% of humans, resistance of any sort to their plan to control economies and populations without their having any say so or vote. That means Freedom of Speech, Religion, or belief of any sort, not determined to be incompatible with the Prime Directives laid out by the Supreme Councils that will evolve as masters of the world.

These wars for freedom have gone on for a millennium, never ending, but often unseen and unheard of, slaughters determine the future of the world.

The fix is hard, for it requires many to awaken and take action to free themselves of the bondage that few understand exists if you comply. Yes, compliance with the directives brings the reward of work without hope of escaping the matrix that uses all your income to pay for your home, food, drink, and minimum needs. All else will be bonuses based on your performance which seems to be getting easier to track with AI and thus, not even chairs to sit on in the break areas of businesses like Amazon or Buccees, the biggest convenience stores and gas stops in the USA treats its employees with no tolerance for resting or breaks, but to perform as drones would, without pausing for conversation unrelated to work and having to ask to go to the bathroom, then being timed. What few understand is that the minimum wage is now nearly $15 an hour, yet many are making less, and there is nothing they think they can do about it. For many, escape seems impossible without great sacrifice, but what is lost if people leave the security and risk expanding their potential and life?

If you are planning to change your path and escape the traps of the city, as the trapping will not travel, and the time is getting near when many will be questioning why they should stay and be so near the big cities now. Blessings to your days and weeks, as many get a little peek at what will come before the year ends. It’s not a good thing; don’t pretend. Time to focus and move fast to get your spot and hope it lasts. Few can do it all alone, but finding good ones is hard now. Are you thinking, looking out, seeing what this is all about? If your time has finally come to wake up and not sit there dumb, blessings to your moves today that lead to your escape somehow.

Cash out on what you can to start anew with a better plan. Build a life from all you have learned from going straight through Hell to find the path to build a new life that will keep you thrilled. It will take you breaking all bonds and leaving many things behind. But if you do, and are still true to your passions, this may be your time to fly and leave behind the things that must die. While this may seem like a dream to some, others will take the hint and run to do what they can do. Kudos to you. May your year lead to the life you never thought you’d find. It must be the right time, and none is better than now.

Changing the paradigm requires creating examples but also a public desire for it to succeed! Timing is everything… but when?

If they do not follow good ideas, can social media-driven change empower people, or does it weaken people?

TINY TEXAS HOUSES NEWSLETTER

This is a transformative time for me… the creation of Tiny Texas Houses comes to an end soon, and the beginning of a path that would eventually lead to creating Salvage, Texas, from the ethos based on the best of our past resources being saved and used once more to make the best housing in America.

Tiny was my best way to show, in the smallest package, the value of the Jewelry Box Home, which could be portable and habitable, taxable in an advantageous way that would allow you to hand it off like an heirloom to your children or grandchildren, much as many of the houses had gone through before we finally salvaged them after 150 years of life.

Homestead can become homesteads again for the masses who do not want a trailer to live in made of materials that doghouse should not be made out of, let alone human housing for sake of all the toxins in the materials used as well as the fact that they are new, adding to the trash, transport, and forced to use due to code written by the manufacturers and required by law. The process has made the builders and buyers of homes victims of a system intended to keep you buying materials for maintenance, replacement every 7-10 years, and other traps that modern housing has built into it. While the houses are going up in cost, the value is not as they are limited in life and disposable homes for the most part.

Sad to see the masses fall for the trailers on Wheels passed off as houses at high costs for trailers that will rot slower than the houses sitting on them, or the time it takes to pay off the loans. I wonder at the success of the marketing by TV and others that convince so many that they can live in toxic boxes without enough clean air being exchanged to stay healthy, yet no mention of that anywhere in the industry.

Still, the intention was to show that tiny organic toxin / import-free housing is possible with salvage, American labor, very little environmental damage, and energy cost to build. Paramount was to demonstrate that you can do it locally if you all get together and support Pure Salvage Outposts to teach, create, gather the materials donated by locals, and the wisdom of the craftsman who could teach the few kids who do want to know how to build. Please help where it is needed, locally.

More could be building these houses all over the USA; trust me, many want them now. I never understood when I started, and thought that many would copy. Why did no one make the effort to do it right? Copy my research and methods, please… they were meant to show everyone how to do it, not to do one for everyone who wanted one, cheaper than anyone who did not love doing it could build them for.

The profit-driven alternatives, faster, cheaper, toxins-be-damned attitude that took over the tiny housing industry is disgusting for its lack of attention to the financial and human health of the buyers over the decade after the purchase.

Can you see the changes in the look from one owner to another? It was in Bastrop on the Colorado River and then moved to West Point, Texas, on a 23-acre setting. That is the beauty of a portable house, not the ugly trailer and narrow size that is not good for decorating or feeling like this makes you feel.

Some things are tough to duplicate today… especially great stained glass.

So many traps and so few speaking out as the fan club for Tiny Houses on Wheels was touted by all the major networks and pushed into the realm of a monstrous following. Next in this cycle of sale to grave come the consequences, and they have been many but as yet, not getting a lot of attention: health, transport, parking, maintaining tires, etc, will all need to be factored into the big picture before this story can be fully told. Will anyone want to say to it? Not if they were part of making it all happen. They will be gone.

Some know and have paid the price of health and wealth, and they are frustrated by being unable to find a place to put the giant, expensive homes. Time will tell the story, but I always like to put the house on piers and use the trailers that cost megabucks to do other things until needed to move again. Oh well… one can show the path, offer it to all the sheep that pass as they are led to the cliffs by the shepherds who claim to be leading them, but only to their death.

Sheep do not ask where; they follow and savor being part of the crowd that shares all their ailments and pains in common. None will know there was a better path unless they get near the fringe of the flock and see the trees, forests, and waters beyond. Instead, they are too busy looking at the ground for the grass or the butt of another sheep to know where to go next. Pity.

Dragons Lair Birds take flight, as Wii might have to do to in Salvage, Texas, our paradise is endangered.

Rising from a man-made ecosystem that nurtures beavers, otters, turtles, fish, birds, and more, Salvage, TX., is endangered by a potential development to be turned into a parking lot. Help is needed.

I realize this is a reality far from the daily lives of many who might read about this episode in the predatory lending tale that started nearly ten years ago. Now, due to my refusal to accept liars, thieves, and the works of those demons of the day that act like bankers and your friends until they see the weakness or the chance to take all that you own. That is indeed the case for Southstar Bank, once known as Lonestar Bank, also once known as Moulton State Bank, before they started playing chameleon as they ruined the reputation of each name. The battles are many, victories none, as the lawyers who want to charge the cost of a house to defend me are out of reach, so the battle was done solo, pro se, and lost miserably.

The next phase of this process will be to liquidate the massive inventory stored away with hopes of becoming houses for many one day, but now must be moved away. I am having a huge sale over the next few months that will dwarf anything in the USA for materials of vintage quality, and stashed away for the decades while new materials for houses deteriorated in quality and rose in cost to the point that I can now sell you quality stuff for the price of the garbage in the big box stores. Getting into your car or trailer will not be as easy as the lightweight imports of toxic gases from vinyl, plastics, and chemicals sprayed on things to keep them preserved until they can outgas in your home. Instead, you could do wood on the walls and ceilings rather than sheetrock for a couple of dollars a square foot, the price of putting up the unhealthy shitrock that most do not know is full of toxic waste. Why not build a unique, healthy house that will last instead of one made from plastic, vinyl, shitrock, and other low-quality parts? Why not have less square footage for a smaller home but higher quality, and one that will last for a lifetime instead of 15 years, as the new houses are intended to last for little more before needing new roof, AC, heating, windows that fogged up, and other materials that disolve over time, like plastics.

Suppose you are considering using quality older materials, such as wood flooring, beaded wood for walls or ceilings, or perhaps real wood trim around the doors and windows that looks good. In that case, everything will be on sale at prices comparable to the big box stores, except for much better-looking and one-of-a-kind stuff. There are doors by the thousand to pick from to use instead of a crappy hollow core masonite door that will come apart in ten years. There are many ways of looking at the home you will live in, but the most important one is how healthy you will be if you live there. Many of the newer homes, especially the modular and trailer houses are full of chemicals for the first three to five years after they are built as they leach out of the materials with the gases like formaldehyde that cause hormone issues, health issues for many that go undetected but the symptoms seem mysterious and are common, so many people put them off, not understanding the house is making them sicker by the day. Often, the cost of maintaining a home this big, taxes due each year, insurance that goes up yearly, and the cost of utilities… this size house will make you poor by the time you die, with few to share the space once the kids move away. These often became boarding houses once the economy collapses, as in the economic depression of the past or the present one facing many.

If you want to put vintage materials into your new construction, the builder must be on board with your plan, but if you get a good builder, that will be fun for them. They will produce something they can be proud of instead of a simple shitrock box that looks like everyone in the neighborhood. If you are of the school that you do not want to live in cookie-cutter houses repeating down the block in gated subdivisions, this may be a way for you to get all your parts and break free from convention to build a unique and sustainable healthy house to live in for life. While many will scoff at the notion, having your home be an asset to your health and longevity instead of the reason for your poor health and rapid aging is possible. Stress kills, and the costs of a house can eventually be the stressor when you age, which can lead to illness when you are least able to handle it. Downsizing to a quality, healthy house before that time is a smart way to extend the life of your savings accounts for retirement.

Until people realize that the place where they spend much of their time, the bedroom and home, makes many people sick, they will not find a cure. I have had women at my seminars tell me of their allergy to formaldehyde causing health issues due to something as simple as a bookcase that was made of particle board giving off chemicals so strong it caused blistering in her nose, ears, and throat after only two weeks of having it in her office after it came in the mail and was assembled. The doctor spotted the issue when she went in to be examined due to the discomfort it was causing, and luckily, she had a good doctor who realized external sources, not internal infections, were causing it. The new homes, cars, and buildings are full of chemicals in the air and when you breathe them in they become part of you, being absorbed into the blood, Cleaned out by the liver, if it is still healthy enough, and over time, the load on your system will cause chronic inflamation which leads to cancer. Turbo-cancer is on the rise, as well as juvenile cases that are on the increase in dramatic fashion since the V-factor for Cov was put into place. Now, the evidence is showing that the spikes increase the chance of cancer, so take precautions and minimize your exposure to the triggers by not having a house that makes you sick.

If you plan to build a home or a tiny getaway master suite or house, large or small, I want to help you create it in a healthy format. Please feel free to call with your plans and needs to see if we can supply you with what it will take to create a healthy house. I am going to be offering some packages of materials that will make it possible to build 700 sf houses with windows, doors, trim, wood for walls, floors, and ceilings, rather than shitrock, and for under $15,000 for a package that will be unmatchable anywhere in the USA. Anyone interested in what you can do if you have the parts to work with? We may even offer owner financing with a good chunk down and pay us over 5-10 years at incredibly low or no interest in certain situations.

If you are willing to build with old materials and supply healthy houses, we will fund your operations with materials on credit so that you can create and pay us when you are done. This allows more people to get into the healthy housing business. Will they? This is the chance to find out. Who do you know to tell me about this opportunity? Will you help start someone up in business, building sustainable houses locally, by starting with your own?

If you are at the time of your life when this article makes sense, please follow up with the call to see if you could create your final getaway master suite, too. I can design your home based on the parts you pick and even supervise your contractors from afar, thanks to modern phones that let us picture, video, and communicate from nearly anywhere without being there.

For more information, contact me at BWK@TinyTexasHouses.com or call us at 512-636-6756 to book a consultation, get assistance in planning your home, or help with constructing it where you need it. We do not build to ship anymore, nor will we ever again, so please take this opportunity to get your parts before I shut down the warehouses and move on down the road of life.

I came to Texas with $640 to make a million, living in a school bus in 1984, determined to self publish.

Who could imagine that it would take forty years to finish writing and move on to the next phase of marketing a series of books around the globe to fulfil my childhood dream?

TINY TEXAS HOUSES NEWSLETTER

MAY 04, 2025

I arrived in Austin in 1984 with $640 to my name, living in a school bus I built after working through college in 1981. I had left on an escapade in my bus, dreaming of writing the great American novel and publishing one day. Then I learned how the publishing industry was controlled and censored, and in my twenties, I decided to make a million dollars and self-publish my works, market them, and, naively, write literature one day. Now I near 70 and reach that point that my books are readied for print, the words written, and a great life lived fully to base a story on that can help others achieve the high plateaus of success that come from following their dreams, passions, and doing the work it takes to manifest your goals in life. Are you free to chase your passions? If not, focus, believe in yourself, and do the work it takes to make your dreams come true.

It is up to you, and you must believe in yourself to succeed. I never imagined this was possible as a crippled poor kid. Still, miracles happen daily, and you are one of them, just waiting to blossom into an amazing human being who can thrive and lead others to a healthy, happy life. Here is a primer on how to do that. Start by believing in your potential to do great things.

I had no friends, family, job lined up, or way to do it. Still, I had a dream, passion, and with a motorcycle in tow atop a Dodge pickup truck, I snuck into the state on July 4th, 1984, with expired tags by two years, no insurance, inspections, and one foot longer than was legal with my truck in tow. From there, many stories over the years, but I made my first million on paper by 35, only to learn it was nothing once cashed out, and by then, my son Adam Brad Kittel was 5 years old, and I was caught up in making more millions. My East Austin career revitalized the French Place area from its low point due to crime and boarded-up houses closing in. I was one of the homeowners who forced back the Bloods, Crypts, and other groups franchising from California to Texas.

For over a decade, I was a real estate broker under the moniker Discovery Investments Inner City Home Brokers. I made my first million buying and fixing up the worst houses in my area, the 78722 zip code. I bought the condemned, boarded-up, and dangerous properties that no one else would touch for as little as $5,000 and sold them for $47,000-$67,000 in the 1980s, which would now sell for $670,000 for the same house. I was accused of gentrifying the neighborhood because the prices went up as the crime went down, and the remodeled and updated houses on the street inspired other residents to fix up their homes, too. I called that the “Jones Effect” as it was basically keeping up with the Joneses syndrome.

I specialized in classic old houses, which I fixed up, rented, and resold once I figured out that was a way to make millions. I also created the Discovery Incubator, the largest cybercafe in the USA, in I996, which was too early in the technology game to be profitable or viable for a few months. Then the Dot Com Boom hit, and by then, I had moved to Gonzales, Texas, to create the largest Architectural Antiques business in the USA: Discovery Architectural Antiques, which was on This Old House and other TV shows during my reign there.

Much of the story included going on to create Tiny Texas Houses, which is known around the world for the 95% Pure Salvage Building ethos, which has proven to be more than an idea, but a concept that could solve many problems for housing the many who need and want tinier, affordable houses that last for a lifetime.

Salvage, Texas, is an intentional village model for nature and people built on an industrial waste dump. It is meant to be an example of that intentional community concept with organic living, grounding, home schooling, healthy living as a group that can support each other as Wii travel the world to share this incredible health at later ages is possible.

I prove by example now at 70 in October, that men reach their peak at 66-78 years old, something unimaginable at 30 for me. I am in far better physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual condition at this great age, and finally, I am ready to market the books I have written. I type at 150 wpm and hope to begin marketing and traveling around the world and use ten million dollars worth of salvage materials I collected for building 300 tiny houses as a means of paying for publishing and traveling by expensing off all travels and lectures to help others using the profits from salvaging hundreds of homes and buildings when I was in my fifties. This means it will enable millions of others to benefit from this ethos and the Pure Salvage Outposts I hope to help create in towns everywhere I can reach. Salvaged materials can create incredible future careers and homes for millions of people… my mission is still ahead in this short lifetime.

This is part of the books that I am working on while figuring out where the people will come from to carry on the functions of sorting and selling the millions of dollars in materials that are stored in warehouses ready to build without imports, toxins, plastics, and with the longevity of houses that are still standing a hundred years after being built in Austin, Texas where I learned to respect these parts.

More millionaires are made from salvaging and fixing old houses than any other business in America. I hope to share this with others so they can thrive in hard times. This is the path to success for those willing to work and use imagination and loopholes to master the matrix. If you are considering that path to riches, I suggest starting small and working your way up, as there can be many surprises when you are remodeling a home that some think should have been torn down.

The objective for my next decade will be to share the path and means for others to follow and create homes from the remnants of those that can not be saved and must be torn down. Salvaging the parts of the many houses that are no longer servicable will open the door for millions of people to build homes without buying anything from a big box store but the screws, nails, and other parts that can not be found through salvaging other structures. It is much easier than people seem to think and far more profitable than nearly any other business someone can get into for a small amount of upfront investment.

Tiny Texas Houses and Pure Salvage Living…

I have written articles on how to find houses, bid on salvage rights, and get the materials to build excellent tiny houses as alternatives to the big box houses that most are forced to buy because of a lack of other options. Tiny houses are a great path to financial freedom, rather than being indebted for life for a house with an enormous maintenance cost that worsens over the years due to the poor quality of construction. This path to self-destruction of our financial situation has been taught to people through the media, selling everyone on having a bigger house than their parents or their peers did. The illusion that materialism brings happiness has taken over most people, as if a big house or fancy car defines success. It does not work that way, but so many are trapped in the matrix of materialism that they can not break away or even imagine living a simpler life.

If you want to alter course and simplify your life, get healthier and more youthful as you shed the stress and burdens of servicing debts for things that do not make you stronger or better, and change your life. You can alter the course of your life by studying what you could do to downsize and eliminate the things that do not make your life better the next day. Stop the bad habits that destroy your healthy body or financial status. STOP the addictions to sugars, alcohol, or other things you put into your body that cause it to get fat, unhealthy, and age faster than you should. Become the example for children, demonstrating how incredible we can be as elders in a society that once considered us a burden on society instead of the leaders and assets that must be honored and cared for to keep a society intact.

If not, the family unity dies along with the unity in a community. Honoring and respecting our elders for their contribution to our world is essential, but so are the consequences of not contributing or caring for others in your community. Without a common bond, a unity that benefits all those in a society, people will suffer, be left out of the benefits that come from community, and rather than be an asset, they become a liability for the others who did their part, the work to make a community great.

Are you part of a community, or are you outside of society, mostly isolated in an apartment or home and using the TV for companionship? Many are caught up in the internet for their social network, not face-to-face relationships with people, causing our society to become detached from face-to-face interactions, which are essential for a balanced life. The need for this is growing as people suffer from the isolation that results from the detachment from living as opposed to vicariously experiencing life by watching others play sports, do the things that people want to do but get to lazy or lack the willpower to actually go out and do it instead of watch it be done. Sadly, many people sit on a couch or chair and get fat, unhealthy, and develop health issues due to a lack of physical activity and overeating foods full of sugars, toxins, and poisons that cause them to age faster and suffer sicknesses due to their diets.

Wake up if you are sleeping through a wonderful life and not experiencing the best part of it, being active and chasing the passions, the dreams you had as a child. Never stop being a youthful being growing stronger toward maturity at 66-78 instead of aging out early and dying in pain. Be strong with intention, eating well, getting your exercise, and living in a tiny house that lets you have the free time to live life instead of work and worry about servicing a debtload for crap you did not need to buy, eat, or wear on your body so you could think you are cool, part of the click you want to be accepted by. Be the example others will look at and want to emulate for all the benefits, and show the kids growing up that it is possible to be incredible instead of forgettable, and regretting your actions throughout your youth.

Savor the days of your life as treasure for your memories, your adulthood that will be incredible if you take care during your youth and honor your vessel, your body that Spirit occupies while on this planet. You are a miracle walking and can do miracles while alive, but you should know that your behavior determines your future health, wealth, and decisions. In contrast, youth will decide if you genuinely enjoy the latter half of your life, which I believe is far better than the beginning. The first fifty years are just the time it takes to grow into an adult, much to my dismay, for I thought I was an adult at thirty. Indeed, it is our nature to think we are mature early in life and know everything before we actually learn what we must to finally understand the meaning of our life, if we are lucky enough to learn it, and then follow it to a successful end.
