The building, machines, tools, land, and a long history are being sold to let me move on to the following chapters of my life. Are you interested in picking up the baton to build the best tiny houses ever?
Why not put together a bunch of investors who want to split the pie up, and all make a nice profit? That is my next plan as I have given up on seeing others come to the point of working for themselves rather than as employees by building tiny houses with materials and space to do it, then selling for a profit and paying me for materials when done. That did not seem enough to entice people to join me in creating the organic, sustainable, and energy-efficient houses that the public seems to want more than the McMansions that have grown so ugly. No one seems to want to build quality but prefers the cheap construction methods and materials that allow for more square footage but also for unhealthy houses.
Here is a chance to buy a building or a business with it that could be altered to fit the next person’s view on how to create better housing in the future than what is typically offered in subdivisions today.
This package would include inventory, a business, or just the structures and the land. 5 acres with a 20,000 sf warehouse, 2,000 sf of offices, and the massive outdoor covered area known as Manifestation Bay.
This facility has 440 3 phase, 220 three phase, and regular on-site electricity.
The land has a well that will continue to be shared by the adjoining property, but the well is located on this land and runs 24/7 to assist in keeping the wildlife area ponds full throughout the year.
The property presently has a bathhouse in the back, part of the BnB operations on the adjoining property. If possible, it will be moved to the other area next door and remain in a trust as a nature reserve.
The Building was constructed in 1985, and the offices must be updated to be suitable for a new business. The second floor of the front building has an additional 1,000 sf of flooring, which provides more usable area than just the first floor.
This land’s industrial and commercial value is 5 acres on the hilltop.
There is also an apartment for living quarters on the second floor above the offices, which also has a kitchen area and a shower in the second bathroom downstairs beside the customer bathroom. There are presently eight office areas in the front of the building.
If the buyer does not buy the inventory, there is a chance for a short-term leaseback to empty the building. If the building is cashed out, the inventory can be financed for ten years.
333 Salvage Way is located on IH 10 at exit 628, the last exit before the toll road exits, which go all the way to Seguin, 16 miles away. There are no other exits with full utilities.
Also, the property sits high over the highway with a 1 mile visibility zone for the drivers by to see, want, and pay attention to the products that will be built or sold from here due to the incredible visibility.
There is no chance of the building flooding without a tsunami from the gulf, as it sits well above the San Marcos River across the highway. This was the only exit from here to Houston, 145 miles away, that did not flood out in the Hurricane Harvey times when it parked over the top of us for two days before returning to wreak havoc on Houston that year.
Buccees is finishing its giant store at the next exit, so this exit already has one of the truckstops finished. Another is scheduled on the opposite corner on this side of the highway, with hotels, too.

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.
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.
In a room where I sleep, some things make it deep.
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.
So, what is a treasure? More Millionaires are created from the salvage industry than any other in the USA. Why is the past so valuable to some but trash to others?
Yes, more millionaires are created in the salvage industry than any other, even without college degrees, significant bank financing, or giant corporations supplying the start-up capital. It is all about human energy and determination. It is a bit of fun, too, if this is your passion: saving and creating new housing from the best of the past.
Become a Salvage Hunter to find the best houses, barns, and buildings to save and repurpose, creating jobs for those who need new occupations, like building tiny homes. They brokered, salvaged, and used the materials locally or sold them to bring income into old towns that were dying yet full of treasure. Salvage the past to build the future. It’s been done for thousands of years, after every war, earthquake, or fire that burnt down half of the cities in Chicago or San Francisco, for example, many know of.
Wii, the ones who see the value, save the past treasure, and thus provide the means to build a better future than with imports that take jobs away, sacrifice resources at our fingertips, and leave America as a debtor nation due to giant corporations taking massive profits and distributing them to only a few of the Global citizens and societies benefit. They use the rest to control and own the planet.
Please stop the madness by breaking the tools of the corrupt, exposing their intentions, and disposing of the despots. Fantasy in a reality that seems surreal because Wii is creating it, as agents for a force few can imagine can plan our future, our destiny, yet Wii, as part of that force, is what takes action, thus forming tomorrow.
Let us Unite to make tomorrow incredible once the nightmares ahead are over. Wii is allowed to Awaken to the Light that will force the darkness into corners or obliterate it for a while with solar power, spiritual power so bright that no evil force can have any sight. With the enemy blinded, Wii shall take their tools to determine our freedoms and make the rules. Join us in using the Loopholology it takes to expose and bring transparency, ensuring the integrity of the leaders in our world.
The rest of the liars, the cheats, and the political whores need the Whistleblowers to expose them now that the internet can point them out. The public can create a route to eliminating them all. Join the Global Loophole Hunt to learn how to use the rule to catch the fools who thought they had won the war. My friends they did not expect what was coming to the fore in 2025. Evil hits the wall!
What will it look like as the battle quickly moves on, and the consequences of what will it take to bring Peace to one and all finally? Once reduced to rubble nations, the global populations will be run by those who know the cost and realize that the coming generations need a break from war.
Why not have fun and do something instead of watching TV while your body decays from inactivity? Stop eating the poison, drinking the “Electric Kool-Aid,” and awaken from the desire created and driven by commercials. Do not just sit and bitch about the world going in the wrong direction. If you are not part of the solutions necessary in the immediate future, you will be part of the problem instead… and that will be eliminated. Time will be harsh for many who choose to check out instead of getting prepared for some challenging but fulfilling times ahead. Some will thrive while others wish they were no longer alive and take that route of escape called death, willingly over the physical side of life. Beware of the suicidal thoughts that come from depression due to fear of what you can not do, but attack the problem by doing what you can do outside the standard box and find a new path, occupation, and passion.
That is the Loophole to a better life, the door of opportunity that provides change and a chance to salvage your body, mind, and spirit from the ravages of a society that has gone out of moral guidelines on its way to creating a Hell on Earth for all who participate, take their jabs, and do their jobs.Otherwise, nonconformists like this might not fit in if they remain free thinkers, taking action that lets them thrive while the other humans question why they are alive. Webble out the words of Freedom and Unity, not fear and war.
Think freely about how you can become incredible by selling the world the benefits of the Pure Salvage Living Renaissance. A move to a healthier world, one body, mind, and home at a time. Simple solutions that only require communication and the action of those inspired by the words, pictures, and videos that prove this is possible, profitable, and benefits all who get involved.
Please consider creating a Loophole in your town called a PSO Co-OP. Empowerment begins at a local level and grows worldwide like a viral path that is meant to grow now. Be a part of making a World Union of Beings possible. Be a solution: walk, talk, and do all Wii can to unite, not fight in these transitional times.
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.
They are shouting from the rooftops. Actually the ceiling of the second floor.
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

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.

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.

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.
Here is a very short, action-packed invite to learn more and see why.
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 want to set up a trust as an example of what can be owned by a small group that can benefit many.
We want to prove this by building affordable houses in America and teaching people who want to learn valuable skills how to create Art Houses in their communities.
Ready to take a chance on helping make the world a better place? If you change your mind, do you want to invest with a sure buyout at more than you buy in within two years? This is an opportunity to create a home that no one else can match, not to mention you will have the chance to sell your position, guaranteed to recoup your investment with 3x profits in the form of windows, incredible doors, hardware, lumber, and what it takes to build whatever you wish, large or tiny. If you decide to sell out your undivided interest, Wii, the community will be sure to help make this a partnership for the future that the whole world can benefit from when Wii provides this Proof of Concept for the PSO Co-ops. It is part of the package of ideas to create solutions locally that I can help with from a distance in many ways. After that, supply the parts, knowledge, plans, and impetus to get this Pure Salvage Living Renaissance moving up to its next level. Wii can make a difference in the housing market through organic, sustainable means.
Yes, short and sweet, become a temporary or permanent owner and partner in Salvage, Texas, for the next phase with a guaranteed buyout of your interest at four times the money or 3x your investment back as soon as you know what you want. Perhaps you like Cobalt Blue Japanese Tile that would sell for $1,500 a square, which is new to you as an investor at 1/3 rd cost, so the average 3-4,000 square feet of room would cost $10,000 instead of $60,000. At that price, you could cover a few more buildings and trade out that interest for $1,000,000 in one of the best Roofing tiles for $250,000 invested toward Salvage, Texas. You can be cashed out immediately with long-term free storage until ready for delivery. We both end up happy and there is no sales tax on that million in tile to crimp the party you can have with the savings.
My mission is simple: The purpose for the establishment of a trust for the benefit of many and the knowing that you may even find the people to help build your dream home with all the materials you could get for 1/4 of the regular price for stepping up to help us make this possible for others too. I want to help create some incredible examples of what can be done with Long Leaf Pine, Cypress, Walnut, and many other woods already over a century since harvest when the trees were over a thousand years old.
There is a chance to either invest and be a long-term part or just a short-term partner who cashes out for a hundred thousand in products for every $25,000 portion of the limited pie, 40 pieces to give away in the next few months, or less if the right couple people with big projects and purchasing power. I would be thrilled to see only a dozen players come in and cash out half of them, with half staying on as part-time Texans.
If this interests you and those you know, please consider investing without obligation to live here or be a part of by investing your time. This is a chance to invest and get the things you want: incredible doors and hardware like not found anywhere, trim, windows, and more in store for the few who do want to have some fun and get the best Long Leaf Pine, Mesquite, Cypress, Walnut, and architectural antiques in the USA today.
You and the world around you will grow from a subscription to a tiny cottage, village, or more. It’s true. Why not consider this growing industry for a career?
Most do not believe they can achieve the dream of having three to five tiny houses in a cluster, call it an intentional village one day perhaps, that starts with just a few master suites hidden far away, with a kitchen and gathering house where family or friends can play. Yes, in a woods or mountain top, by a river, cliff, or more… your dream house can become more authentic if you begin to form it with the parts that come into your hands as if meant to be part of your dream. In the quiet of the night, in the morning, with sunlight, draw or sketch your dream and see that you can have it naturally. By slowly clarifying what you want to be spying you will soon find that the parts will come to play.
Important note for all who want to one day learn more or shop here: Please share and subscribe to support us, get gigantic discounts only to subscribers, and chances for free stuff, nights in the BnB, and the opportunity to open your Pure Salvage Outpost near you. NONE of that will be available if you are not a subscriber, Though you can use Air BnB without discounts, you do not even have an appointment to come to buy all the goodies in our warehouses, consult or take a tour if you are not on our subscriber list. We truly hope you decide to join, shop, share, and grow the Pure Salvage Living Renaissance soon to enable us to finish publishing the books, videos, and other resources that will enable many others to build a future out of Salvage.
This subscription to TinyTexasHouses.Substack.com as a source of materials, plans, and answers to your questions while creating your paradise is a precious resource. I hope you will join in supporting the dispersal of the lessons, the materials, and the network of elders I hope you will be part of or share the opportunity with so they can help the few kids and people who do want to learn how then do what it will take to Make America Great Again truly.
Will you have the etchings to help ease the itching for a tiny house you could build one day? Want to learn how to create a tiny house on a weekend or a week? Want the parts to be built without the toxins, imports, or unsustainable products that add to pollution and cost a big chunk of change? I would subscribe to creating your future by salvaging the best from the past. It is the only path that will get you to the organic life, the intentional community that does it all American instead of with Chinese imports. Better yet, subscribe here for the books on becoming a Salvage Miner, Salvage Builder, or Salvage Hunter for a career in the fun lane.
I ask these simple questions because some don’t know that manifesting takes a clear idea to set the stage. Then, on the reality stage, you can build your visions and be understood when you define them to the people you will see who can help you manifest them, thus making them come to be. Whew… yes, you do have some work to do… crafting out the things you know, like a wooden floor and antique windows, classic trim, perhaps stained glass, and if you can, why not have a blast and create a cottage you could live in for a lifetime if you feel it? A master suite gives you a place to sleep, to rest or write, to meditate, and a private and personal space. Sharing kitchens, even baths, is not the same as bedrooms; if one is looking to simplify, community helps unify.
Why have so much we can share with other honest people where you live together, knowing that your part is worth your “being there”? Helping grow the jungle of food with natural means letting the birds, the frogs, the fish, and the trees grow well without the world’s poisons is the only way to produce a space where survival is not just for the human race. So few think that to salvage all, they need to build the best of all without polluting, killing trees, or transporting ships across all the seas. What will you offer if you seek to be a part of a unique place?
How about supporting the network that will bring together the Carpenter, farmer, mechanic, or more? Your knowledge is valuable, your skills even more, and your actions that create things make you gold for the world of intentional communities where each person can bring talents that make launching possible by becoming part of a network devoted to salvaging the best of our past and teaching others how to thrive by creating an incredible future with the treasured parts of the past. The kids we teach today will inherit the Earth we leave them with and care for us when we need it later. Let us be sure they have the skills to do it right.
The beautiful colors of the past, like this milk-painted Long Leaf Pine, do not have lead-based paint to be concerned with, formaldehyde outgassing like plywood, the dangers of sheetrock, acrylic acid from latex paints, or gasses from vinyl that emulate estrogen when breathed in at night. It is actually possible to build a much healthier and Earth-friendly house from salvage than any other way and be more energy efficient in the building process and the life of the house.
Without the life skills that come with doing the work and making it happen, there will be little more than talk, plans, and wonder at the failure of the group to reach a goal. Tools, knowledge, materials, and human energy are required for any intentional community to form. Many people dream great dreams but do not know how to attain them, nor the people to teach them how. We want to change that, to give the skills, the means, and materials, and hopefully, inspire the support networks it will take to manifest a Pure Salvage Living Renaissance that will motivate many others to do great things in this time of great need. (“Song of Salvage” Mining Music Johnny B & the Apostles of Salvage) Please help us create this solution to the problems at hand as people attempt to rebuild after a crisis, storms, or life force massive changes without all the resources and help that many will need to rebuild. This is the time to act and become the best you can be for yourself and those in your community.
Thank you for becoming an active part of the solutions it will take to create a fantastic future from the challenges that will come from 2022. So many people will need someone just like you. I pray that you can do what needs to be done by preparing in advance, not just depending on chance, to save the day. Don’t think that things can’t turn out any other way than what you have planned. Many are learning in this day and age, there is no absolute security, no genuinely safe place that you might not be affected as the world goes through the throes of changes brought on by storms that no one can stop. Blessings to those in the path of the storms. May your future be brighter than the one you have lost.
Yes, you can earn commissions and referral fees for telling your friends about us and getting their name to us with yours before they come to buy what they need to fulfill their dreams.
It does not matter where you live but who you know. You could make tens of thousands of dollars based on who you know if you can connect them to us to find the materials they need to build an incredible home. It is not a job; instead, it is an opportunity to make a significant income. Better still, it could develop into a career in the world of Salvage. It is not hard, nor does it cost you a penny to consider and talk to your friends about, and if they come to buy materials, you will make as much as 20% commission/referral for your connections and assistance. We plan to empty most of the warehouses by spring. Be a Salvage Hunter and find what your friends want or need as they build their homes, intentional villages, or getaways.
This is my way to try and extend the sharing of the wealth to others who engage in helping to create another paradigm in building houses from the best of the past instead of raping and pillaging the future of generations ahead. Stop wasting the best of the past and create a healthy, sustainable future instead of bigger landfills. Fifty percent of the landfills are from building materials being thrown away.
Not only can you save your friends money, but you can also connect them to resources that will help them create incredible houses, communities, barns, or other structures made out of salvaged materials. If you contact me and register your name for the referrals you generate, I can track your success with the sales that will net you up to 20% of the sale, even if it is a hundred thousand dollars. Imagine the nest egg that could come from simply knowing who needs the parts and pieces in our warehouses and connecting us so they can get them cheaper than anywhere else.
The quality of the materials is exceptional, and you only need to look on the TinyTexasHouses.com site or the TinyTexasHouses.substack.com to learn more about the various things that you could be turning your future clients as a referral agent. You will register them under your name and be the connection to get credit for their purchases. Those who choose to help can live anywhere, at any age, and it does not matter about age, race, political preference, or other factors that keep many from getting great opportunities to make an excellent income.
It might be your parents, best friends, or the person you meet in line at the big box stores who buy vinyl windows instead of higher quality wood windows for the same price or less. You can help the people you know to find the materials for their tiny houses or big ones and make money doing it at your leisure, not on an hourly pay basis but on a productivity basis such that if you find the person that purchases some of the Cobalt Blue Japanese Roofing Tile that might net you $5,000 and save them as much as it costs for the tile, literally less than half the cost for their roof could save them $30,000 on a high-end home. Why not think about the people you know, especially architects and builders who might want to save a million dollars on project costs? Condos, big houses, apartments, or commercial buildings that want an incredible roof that looks not only great but also is durable, hail resistant, algae build-up resistant, and will last for hundreds of years, not just deçades.
There are so many ways to put the treasured materials back together to make houses that will last for a lifetime, not a disposable RV like so many pay over a hundred grand for without any home of them maintaining value or appreciating. Tiny Houses built from wood, quality glass windows, doors, and hardware will not only be energy efficient, healthy, and sustainable but also a treasured heirloom you can leave to your heirs with pride.
Besides the roofing, metal, windows, doors, trim, flooring, and other parts, like vintage hardware, are all on the list of things you would be able to make commissions selling without having to invest money or come into my offices to work. You can do this from your phone and contact the people you know who need some of the inventory we have in stock now. I’m Not waiting for the parts to come into the store from China or other places far away, but it’s all American-made and ready now.
This is the best chance many will ever have to take the big step off the cliff of conventional living, to leap the Chasm at the Fringe to a new level and life. Are you ready to change course to see if you can leap into a new reality that lets you make money like never before? Are you one of the people who knows many people with the money to buy some of the inventory? Wood, Long Leaf Pine, Cypress, and Mesquite, to name a few of the woods you could add to your home or that of your friends. Your parents may be your clients from whom you get the referrals, or you may offer a big discount if you want to give it to them. Disclose to those you offer to help that you will make a referral fee to help get them together with us so they do not get mad later because you benefited from helping them, or give them the referral fee as a discount if you wish.
Please get in touch with me if this appeals to you at BWK@TinyTexasHouses. com. I do not wish to have dishonest people involved and will screen the people a bit to be sure they are not out telling tales as you will not by my paid representative or employees but by independent contractors who will only get paid if you sell stuff, and possibly make a million dollars in the next few years as there is a few million dollars that need to be sold, but better still, open a Pure Salvage Outpost as a local co-op so that you and others could create a training center an supply the people who can build the houses that are facing a growing demand for quality healthy and sustainable housing. Please consider how you can help your friends and neighbors make a living.
I have over 100,000 sf of warehouses full of everything anyone might need to build great classic tiny houses and make an incredible income by selling locally so as not to have shipping costs equal to the cost of labor to build a house. The secret to cheaper tiny houses will be in creating them locally so that the money stays in the community you choose to live in. That is the best of all worlds: more skilled kids to build tinier houses that let people live well until they die in healthy houses, not one that gives off formaldehyde, EDCs, and other chemicals outgassing for years after being installed in your house. Please build healthy homes and help others do so, too.
How do we shift the lending industry to consider loaning on more tiny houses? Wii, united, can develop communities where people can own houses and lease land for life. Where?
Life Estates are a way for people to live on land they do not own for life. Future costs would cover taxes and land maintenance for the whole community. That would limit the potential for debt and expenses not to burden the community’s inhabitants when they age out of income earning and retire. Furthermore, houses could be moved away to upgrade to bigger or better homes grown by adding a second house up to certain limits and providing for all most people would need in life, besides the tiny houses that people would live in, sharing the entire acreage with the others to ease the burdens of lawn care, house maintenance, and mechanical, as much of those responsibilities could be shared or paid for by the community, into the community if possible. This village would also have all the desired support facilities, like a small library and office house, a laundry room, a larger common kitchen for events and gatherings, and other amenities like a workout room, trails, swimming, and gardening. I imagine the spaces for growing food, like chickens and other critters, fish, and the chance to create the organic food many inhabitants would be sharing too.
Is such a model possible to prove this concept is a path for the future? I submit that the path is creating communities where people could situate and habituate a great life in their tiny houses. This is not an RV park or trailer park, but instead, true wooden and earthen houses built from superb materials that will last for a lifetime and also provide a healthy living environment, unlike recreational vehicles, van life, or other forms of survival that many are resorting to as housing costs force them out of the buildings and onto rubberized living or homelessness. Once in a status of homelessness, getting work, staying healthy, and mentally able to work hard and build a life back is hard, and not all people on the streets are the stereotypical druggy that no one wants to recognize exists. Before people are squeezed out of our society like that, alternatives can be created that will allow them to not fall so far before getting back up and learning new trades or skills that will enable them to thrive with a way to feed their family and house them, to fulfill the responsibility of being a parent, or a part of society by contributing and benefiting while helping create a community. These are the objectives of the Pure Salvage Living Renaissance that I started manifesting over 30 years ago.
After having rehabilitated the worst of drug zones, gang crime neighborhoods in Austin, Texas, that had prostitutes on the street, standing in the doorways of the one-hour room rental motel across the street from my real estate office, I decided to take time off to be a dad. The times and ways to change things are different, but it is possible to turn around bad areas and make them desirable to live in again. That is called gentrification in the places where housing costs rise due to demand, the taxes on the long-term elders rise to where they have to sell out, and in a few decades, few of the original middle-income inhabitants remain. Only the higher-income people can afford to buy big homes, pay taxes, and live in those now desirable areas. I was accused of gentrification by the time I left Austin, a word I had never heard or understood before. I could not afford to live in that area now.
In 1995, I moved away to Gonzales, Texas, to raise my 11-year-old son in a country town, thinking it would be better for his development and view of the world. That was not a good decision in retrospect, as the schools were abysmally bad, and he had to take remedial math classes even though he had been in Honors classes for most of high school. I enjoyed a few years playing and being a father before Adam, like most teens, got into hanging out with his friends more, so I went back to my workaholism and grew Discovery Architectural Antiques into the largest salvage store in the USA.
Then came Tiny Texas Houses, a way to put all of the salvage to use positively, building tiny houses to build a community here at Salvage, Texas, one day. Many years have passed, and I put a million dollars into preparation to make this offer to others who will carry on when I am gone. At 69 years old, this time could come any day or be a few decades away, but I have no heirs to leave the legacy to. So, I want to set it up to benefit many when I am gone. Can you help by finding the people who will share in cashing out the land and then using the millions in inventory on hand to create the rest of this example and help start up a hundred Pure Salvage Outposts as a co-op to help others do the same? If you can help or know someone who wants to buy inventory, have millions on hand to help fund this dream. It will take the right people and the support, but the final product is an example of what could be done, and the people will help teach it by coming in and sharing their wisdom. That is my dream.
The path to finding good areas to live in and raise a child, school them, and perhaps live out your elder years is not accessible due to the property taxes of Texas that do not allow for us to get old and stop earning income, but still get taxed as if we are since there is no income tax in Texas except property taxes. This should be changed to a sales tax or income tax on those with the income, not those who get old and thus are forced to sell their homesteads. I propose taking the ten acres that I have now established ponds with beavers, otters, fish, and miles of shoreline and woods, and a chance to prove that we can build the houses here, set them up with services using solar wind, and the grid to create a community that could go off-grid and survive well for a year or two without needing to ask for government help. It would have worked for those who wanted to use the Tiny Texas Houses facility on-site, which is full of materials and was mothballed nearly a decade ago, to await these foreseen times after Covid.
Some people are gifted with a foresight that can be tapped to make preparations for the future they see coming, though most of the public does not. There is no way to tell others without looking like a negative person, but the facts are easy to read, and the economy will not improve for a while. What are we doing now to anticipate the many forced to downsize and have no affordable housing or alternatives to look to when they are evicted from their large homes? People do not need as much space to live as Americans have been accustomed to since the 1950s when the average middle-income home was under a thousand square feet. People were happy, and families had extra income to vacation, have savings, and live well. That time has passed and more adult children are living at home with relatives than ever in the last 150 years, over 55% of families have reconsolidated to survive. If not for that, the others who have no families often end up homeless, not doing drugs or saddled with addictions, just unable to afford the housing in the city as Blackrock and Blackstone, as well as other elite corporations and people, buy up all the land, housing, and control the food chain too.
Too much power and money in the hands of too few people are leading to a global rebellion that is cyclical historically, taking down kings, queens, and empowers time and again, generally after wars that destroy the country and economy. These are typically governed by crazy people who lose touch with reality and the conditions of the masses. It appears to be coming to a climax globally as the masses demonstrate their frustration and riots ensue. I am hoping to help create paths for solutions to manifest locally where they can help ease housing shortages without selling out to Blackrock or other real estate giants that have credit lines due to bank relationships based on the elite buddy system and not equality or the fair distribution of the wealth of the world. How do we make it possible for the masses to live well without destroying the many systems that benefit the public? I hope there is a way, but I do feel that the salvage, reuse, and creation of intentional communities with salvaged materials and well-planned intentions that are long-term into the future based so as not just to boot out all the people for corporation shareholder profits as is being done to mobile home parks and others nowadays.
Will you consider helping initiate this final transition stage into a trust that can be used to build and demonstrate what is possible? I am seeking the commitment the money to buy out any remaining debt and set up this example called Salvage, Texas, to create the venue to come and learn how to build, set up your Pure Salvage Outpost Co-ops, and possibly intentional communities using this model and support from the warehouse full of the materials to make this happen already in stock. We have the windows, doors, trim, walls, siding, roofing, and hardware on hand to do this, stashed away in over a hundred thousand square feet of warehouses and a place to build. I need to cash out the debt and then Wii, all of the people who will join together to be a part of making this possible.
Once there is water to grow, life of all sorts, green or alive, thrives, like the beavers, otters, fish, and wildlife that have thrived since the land was remedied from nothing to being a premiere example of what can be done.
I will contribute my assets and land to make this work as my last big hurrah before I age into the later years when I may not have the time, drive, or means to do this. I plan to travel to share the books, videos, and lessons that will empower the many to do what I have proven is possible, but with the help of others, what can be proven on a community level, a way to salvage the lives of people who need skills, even building tiny houses, or creating chicken coops, gardening, and the many ways that each of us might be able to add value to the community and thus pay for our part of being there. Please share with those you know who might want to dedicate a portion of their land to creating retirement communities on long-term leases instead of selling off family ranches or farms, thus adding value, possible workers to help on the farm, and a community to support each other when times get hard.
This offer is being tendered to see if the people with the means to help to be part of this in a way that will benefit you, your families, and others who can become part of a larger community of PSO Co-ops that could benefit many communities. Thank you for helping get the word out and bring together people to help finalize the years of preparation and let the massive inventories readied to create some 300+ tiny houses and community centers which will help launch the revitalization of our society. Thank you for your help.
My world of dreams dies as I donate them to help others build houses and may liquidate the inventory-from past dreams to create the solutions for others now. Dreams die to be reborn.
A couple of decades ago, I bought some land I did not know had been abandoned by a foundry so they would not have to clean it up. EPA had come to say the problem was natural for the heavy metals and pollution washed off to spread and stay in the San Marcos River just a quarter mile away. I saved the land and blocked the path of pollution that would taint the river till it got to Gonzales to be taken out and drank. I also wanted to stop the leaching of the many acres they left without telling me, who bought much later, anything.
Many styles and sizes are concepts that will open many minds to what is possible when you want more tiny houses all around. When I rehabbed them, they had been neglected, were boarded up, and considered the bad inner city of Austin. They averaged about 650 sq. ft., and the houses came on the trains as packages sent to Texas as catalog orders for hundreds of dollars. Many were Montgomery Wards or the Sears catalog homes popular in the late 1800-1940 periods long ago. They were not much bigger than the Tiny Houses I watched grow from the parts and pieces of beautiful old houses. Why waste the beauty of the past, the porch posts, stained glass, and the things that last? Look at the energy savings with sinks, tubs, and hardware for examples of what could be saved each day as the old houses are taken down instead of throwing the parts away. Look at these for examples of past luxuries of massive low-cost resources and coal to smelt metal and create hardware, glass, or metal.
Many of my examples won Best Tiny Houses in America awards with their examples of windows, doors, and hardware that can spice up a tiny or big house without firing up a furnace to make handblown glass windows. The older glass is thicker than the new and energy efficient if you do a few things to make it better than the modern glass that fogs up in ten years and that most will use. I can teach from great distances thanks to computers, even Zoom in some cases, to answer questions and help where it is needed without traveling there. I plan to establish Pure Salvage Outposts (PSO) Co-ops whenever I can find and inspire the locals to set up shop and support them while they start.
This plan I have can get ten houses worth of parts to build if we then find ways to ship in the phases that will let you get them built. I am set to convert the assets that I have mothballed away after my son’s passing in Paris, France, 13 years ago. What was to be inherited will be one of his legacies, a dream I hated to see go. I have realized the next part has come: to dissolve my dreams as I go into my 70s and realize the dreams that will not come to fruition in my lifetime. There may be many, so it goes. What was once his legacy can help many more if this idea can grow. I need help and can not fund this alone, but if we get the proper people, I can sell off much to fund more for many in his generation.
I want to get these materials out as a proper steward should. I have taken over for other oldsters and committed these materials for good. I need some help, though I hate to ask, but for others, I must do this simple task of offering the solutions I can provide to the others who are called to help, to do what Wii were meant to do. Join together with a Unity that gives power to the community. A Co-op going locally can pay for others to learn and see what can be done with the supplies you will see awaiting salvage miners to become the parts you will need to keep growing the Co-op to help bring the skills and kids to work.
Each town will have different needs and opportunities to grow back its community. These are the things that unify and bond the locals. So I want to see house raising (raising a house faster together) be the best way to go when the house razing (taking them down) that the storms did bring can be saved as best Wii knows so that the parts you need to build there locally will grow.
It takes all three working as one to make this system work. Once you get it going, you will know where all the salvage is as people realize that is the best thing one can give to speed up recovery. Salvage is a profitable way to live, support your youth and your community, and show the value of the human energy Wii can give. Somehow, this is all a part of a big dream I once had as a kid. How could dreams come true, even nightmares that I would have long stopped if I could? Know there is a reason, a solution all laid out in a plan that God has written some call fate, with faith aloud, to pray for mercy and help, I hope this will reach them, answers come.
I have dreamt this would help the people when the time came for the parts to finally be seen as solutions for the population needing ” truly green housing.” That means that no trees are cut, no imports across the sea, materials made in America here to fill our needs. Ways to implement the tools and parts Wii need to finally join together locally. I have been inspired to move faster and hope for more who want to grow this chain of independent PSOs run by the locals who want to grow the skills and passions of the kids and others who see and know this is true.
As I move to liquidate the massive stores of what it takes to rebuild houses or to start homesteads, this is my dream for you, and if you have a great desire to help your community, too. I have an offer to Kickstart co-ops where they are needed most, in communities needing housing fast. This is a path to produce a dozen houses for your family or community at the cost of materials for one. Can you show the need to fill it locally with the people who will join together to build tiny houses? These are permanent tiny homes, not mobile homes, for far less than the “Katrina Trailers” of the past hurricane that went through Louisiana.
These are house that will last through the winter and rebuild what was once there, a community with a place for Unity to manifest results for all? I propose the Pure Salvage Outposts as places where all can learn, young and old, together, building houses that will hold the families displaced by the storms and floods. All now need housing rapidly; national codes may have to go until they can afford compliance, and they need warm homes.
I am offering a package of ten houses worth of windows, doors, siding, roofing, and trim, the packages of what it takes to get them housed again. Can I get the help to move it to where they need it now and help create the places to teach the others how to build with salvage and give them our best help? I can send the materials for a hundred houses or more, I know, windows in many different forms that will make for houses, barns, and the cover that Wii know is needed for the critters and the building back of homesteads now.
How do I get more people to join and develop their independent PSA Co-op better than giving the parts to build the first five houses and, if successful, set it up to grow from there again? I can offer salvage building and teach this great trade. Still, the local men and women will be building houses locally to save the cost of shipping them, which is fully permitted if built far away. Those funds will be used locally to pay for labor instead of transporting “boxes of air” across the county. Can you fill in some gaps as one of the elders locally or one who understands the craft of building houses per functionality instead of perfectly following codes established by manufacturers who do not want you using the old materials? Most can have the elders teach others how to build, but materials like windows and doors are often the most critical thing in building a tiny home to start again. Long ago, the mountain cabin that most know housed the wife and kids all close while they worked the light of the days and slept through the dark of night without the storms, the snow, and ways that you could die without a shelter to try and keep warm when winter comes.
Here is an example of a package I could send, with the cost of one paying for five to be loaded up and then, with the plans and a place to stand them, create houses from these parts once again. I have proven that more can do it and be successful, so they can support some local people in building houses that all know are stout and last for a lifetime, unlike mobile homes that will quickly show. If you want to help this alternative grow there, I request you get in touch, and Wii can join as one to prepare a way to get solutions like this delivered to your town’s door.
Are you an elder helping to reassemble what you can and reestablish the community before they move away and go to places they can not return to once the lands are sold or they are old? Help me get your folks together, and then please do let me know.
Some of the parts and pieces and packages will offer many other windows and parts, like aluminum windows, that Wii will give to others as free starter parts. Please consider the master suite concept for living comfortably and tiny. Share the big kitchens and gathering places, but a private space to sleep is special.
These were past examples of what a retail package would be but my goal is to sell a package of 6 for the price of one to see houses built and PSOs started that can use the profits or the chance to do what is needed to create a way for this to happen near you.
This can be one of the size plans for a couple of the houses and some smaller packages for faster builds of master suites like the Kidd instead. I can send five packages for the price of one, which will cover the labor and get them on the trailers and trucks that can come by on their way to help grow new homes from the treasures of the old.
Please consider as I liquidate my dreams I had just up till late when God said it was time to evacuate the massive stores that can do so great as to help others rebuild again, to help make their lives safe. From now through spring, I am offering the chance to kick off your co-ops with materials that will be paid for in good deeds along the way. I need money to help sort, load, pack, and ship away. Then Wii can supply the Co-ops if they can show a way to fund the perpetuation of each Salvage Station that serves to teach nearly everyone who wants to be a Salvage Miner, Salvage Builder, or the one to hunt down all the precious places that still could be salvaged and become a part of the new world that you start with the homes that you will build.
If you are interested in starting a PSO Co-op and finding ways to fund the space to build the houses to move as portable buildings or to take apart the big pieces to transport and assemble again… I can help now. I want to see these wheels in motion by Thanksgiving or if there are more who will speed it up to get what they need to the places soon so a store could be established for those who have no money but need these parts to get set up in the mountains where they are before the winter storms. Can Wii the people do this while the government claims that Wii must obey the rules? It is absurd when people need help now, but government help is not coming down to do the work, so the locals do it themselves.
What should they do locally while the feds sit underfunded and befuddled in their offices?
What if the feds do not move fast to fix roads and build homes that will get the families through the night and back to where their ancestors grew up to rebuild with local pride and keep their homestead rights?
Write Mii, call, or email for more information about what could be in store if you want to help your people and can move this stuff that far… I will make it possible, though I may need some help to load and pay for a foundation, a place to grow the businesses of building with the best of our salvage from a past most are proud of and do not want to throw in the dump. Help me help others save their family’s dreams, as many parts of them as possible, and rebuild their dreams so their children want to live there when they grow up. If not, the mines, commercial ventures, and casinos will replace the poor who sell their lands after such calamities and catastrophes. Sadly, the destruction of their pasts, if not their very lives, comes with the sale of the neighborhoods.
Tiny Texas Houses is located on IH 10, where it will be easy to load up a semi with the people to help strap it on and take it off, then create a few incredible tiny abodes to get the Co-op off the ground without paying for the first batch of materials to get it up and running proud. If the community supports the place to build practically for free. Then I will send the materials to get it started building at least five tiny houses… maybe more if we can get the transport help and load before the winter storms. For those who want to buy more packages to assemble once prepared, I will send the parts that will help to start the salvage mining that will follow if this works well.
I can offer financing without interest to help others get started in small businesses as the teams of teachers at the Co-op create through their classes and construction at PSO. Once mentored and elder-guided, co-op students can get their business building houses growing locally and grow. The locals can mentor the local kids or adults who want to make with salvage and then develop the local salvage business if this sounds good to you. This is a way we help pay for materials with loans that don’t bear interest and can still last for ten years with an assurance of them working with you for a lifetime if you need so you can get the housing going locally you need. Who will show the heart to help start-up these inspirational community centers? Salvage is a treasure right before your eyes, and carpenters, like a famous legend some call Jesus, would have been working through the night to salvage all the treasures that were left there in sight as he said to others through his short life: see the gifts, don’t fear in strife.
If you would like to help create a co-op where you could develop houses like these locally with materials that I will send nearly for free to fire up and inspire others to do this, contact me. Please let me help in the many ways I can to help this start-up locally where so much salvage can be had. Prayers with those who need homes and the path to creating more as quickly as possible. How many start-ups will Wii see at this special event that I offered to those who can see it?
Please share with those who care and need help building or repairing their homes.
