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.
