If a picture holds a thousand words, you have just spun through ten thousand words with very few written on this page, just images.
For the big sale, most of these things will be available for new homes. What did you see that you might want? What did you see you had no clue what it was?
Thinking of things to do while the rain is pouring down on Memorial Day weekend, not that it is clear it will be raining through it all? How about visiting the biggest inventory sale for incredible architectural treasures, lumber, and parts to build small houses, or big mansions, and have a home to be proud of when finished.
For those who were not aware of Tiny Texas Houses and Discovery Architectural Antiques, both started by Brad W. Kittel in the 1990s, and in 2007, when Tiny Texas Houses was formed with the massive inventories from the largest architectural warehouses in Texas.
All of the warehouses have been mothballed for ten years now. However, many of them will be emptied now as I am retiring from this business, still with hopes someone else will buy into it and continue onward with my ethos of All-American materials, no plastic, vinyl, or chemicals to inhale like new houses all have. This is my dream; I hoped to offer a generation, but I have run out of time and now must shut it all down if the heirs to this do not show up soon. When my son passed on to the next life early, he left me with no heirs. To that end, I pray that God provides the people to finish what I started, but if it is not His will, it will not happen. So it goes.
What will you do to carry on the ethos of Pure Salvage Building?
I created this acres-wide pond that was thirty feet deep in my early 60s, after losing my son. I just did as I was directed by a higher authority to prove I believed the prophecy that this is what I would see if I dug deep, focused, and had faith. Miracles happen all the time, but few recognize them.
Check out the posts with pictures, and if you wish, I will craft a plan for the parts you pick so as to create an incredible space for your getaway She-shack or Man-cave.
Why not grow a dream into a tiny house, a place to write, draw, paint, or just meditate?

TINY TEXAS HOUSES NEWSLETTERShare
2008 was a transformative time for me… the creation of Tiny Texas Houses and the beginning of a path that would eventually lead to creating Salvage, Texas, from my ethos based on the best of our past resources being saved, used once more to create the best housing in America.
Tiny was my best way to show in the smallest package, the value of the Jewelry Box Home that 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 that is 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 life disposable homes for the most part.
Sad to see the masses fall for trailers on Wheels (RVs) passed off as houses at high costs for trailers with tires that will rot with the houses sitting on them, but faster than the time it takes to pay off the loans. I wonder at the success of the marketing by big media controlled by advertisers, 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, build, gather the materials donated by locals, and the wisdom of the craftsman retiring 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, and trust me, now, many want them. I never understood when I started and thought that many would copy, why no one really took 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 industry of tiny housing is disgusting for its lack of attention to the financial and human health of buyers over the decade after 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 very hard to duplicate todayโฆ 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 tell it? Not if they were part of making it all happen. They will be gone.
Some know, have paid the price of health, wealth, and the frustration of not being able 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 wellโฆ 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 in fact only to their death.
Sheep do not ask where they are being led to, shearing or slaughter. They simply follow the tail in front of them, ever questioning and savoring 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.

How many of us find our cross to bear and choose to carry it, regardless of the consequences, the attacks, the ugliness of the society that it must be carried by to get to the destination, the point at which the world will pay attention, change direction, and create a better place for those who follow us?
I gathered the materials, created a path, and a way to create housing for the many in need. Will the people do the right thing and create the solutions using no more than human energy and imagination? I wonder as I set about disbursing the massive inventory it will take to launch a perspective in housing, helping build your home to offset the cost, to help others create a home for life, too.

What are you doing to make the world a better place for others, not just the ones you know and love, but the masses that also need to be assisted, if Wii, the many that can see the need, and do the work to make the world a better place?
June will be the next round of liquidation sales, thinning down from 300 housesโ worth of materials to a few dozen to maybe build before the end of the year, if people want to learn how in seminars through the summer and fall, after which there may not be any Tiny Texas Houses anymore if there are not some others who come to carry on. Are you one of the builders of the future who knows how to build houses that will last for a century? Healthy, all-American parts, labor, and a lifetime of housing our children, and theirs.
What do you have planned for 2026? Why not create homes, solutions, and a future for others that will be appreciated until those who live there pass on? This gift will give their home decades for their loved ones, once they are gone. Such is the life of a quality home, instead of the disposable form that homes come in now. You will make a difference in a life that will pay forward for generations. Are you willing to do what it takes to help make the world a better place? Will you carry a cross and sacrifice for the benefit of thousands?
Incredible prices for houses, big and small, but you can still get what you need at incredibly low prices at the upcoming sale. True, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, with designs so easy to use and see results with the same windows, doors, and parts that were of superb quality back in the day of Quality in American products.
One need not use the older designs, but the windows and doors will work fine for any sort of modern art home you could build; you can use these parts to make it last a lifetime for you, too.
Look at the doors and windows, at the trim, and even more, the quality of the hardware, and the other things you see are still on houses used today. It’s been over a hundred years since they were shipped and built by men and women, all communities that worked together to become towns with homes for one and all.
I will be assembling a few packages of windows and doors that will allow people to recreate the houses shown in the pictures above. This is the chance for many to benefit and grow their dreams into real houses. I hope you will join us for one of the weekends and have a chance to win one of the door-and-window packages that will be a door prize for participants in the biggest Salvage & Architectural Antiques liquidation sales ever.
Imagine how easy it was to get a loan for a package then.
If you fill one out and want a loan for a year, up to five years on a package of materials, not as big as these were, but good to help you get your home built for sure, let me know by sending it to us at Darbypsl@gmail.com as we may offer a few loan packages if good people who can do that apply.
For the discounts and special notices, consider becoming a member and also subscribing to Substack. Thanks for sharing, too.
I have not found a way to post a video on this website, but I can surely link to it on YouTube, also known as Tiny Texas Houses.
Videos about the Liquidation Sales, as well as some opportunities for tours, before big sale buys, and a chance to open a Pure Salvage Outpost with some of the vast resources that will be parted out over the next few months.

Please consider sharing and viewing if you have any interest in building a home from All-American parts and pieces, such as windows, doors, and trim, from a time when our ancestors had great virgin resources that created the best of homes. Sustainable living means using the best of our past, still good for a hundred more years of life as a home, rather than buying new stuff that will not last a decade.
Buy a home for life instead of giving your life for a home that dissolves and becomes a maintenance nightmare. Buyers should always beware of modern construction and learn before they burn away their health. That is not a path that you can return from easily once done. Your home is your castle, not a coffin if you buy the right one.
Hope to see you get the parts and pieces to create a community of tiny and small houses that work together to create a homestead instead of a McMansion or two, and pave the rest or put grass on the rest of the land.
Blessings to your Memorial Day celebrations, perhaps aggregations of the materials that respect the work of the ancestors who supported the boys in the war by working in the places these parts were being built between and during the World Wars for the Veterans Home loans of the times. Yes, time repeats with an amazing accuracy that can not be ignored. Never forget or throw away the best parts of our past that will take us to a better future.
Brad W. Kittel
Tiny Texas Houses creator & steward
I rarely see a hundred people a day sign up for the newsletter to join the site as members of a thought experiment on the positive potential to tap these solutions in the surreal world. Wii, those who see what is happening in a way that lets us thrive amidst what appears to be chaos. Ingenuity will be the key in a world of locality once the global distribution network takes a hit.
I am preparing to sell off and possibly owner-carry the costs for building-materials packages to good people who can come and load them out. They will have years to pay at no interest for the critical parts like windows and doors, even floors, trim, and roofing for at least 20-30 houses big enough to be a master suite, the main kitchen house, or a bath house. I also plan to publish more of my books and house plans to show the many who are now gaining interest in sustainable, organic housing that is available for little more than human energy. It is a concept I have touted for decades, but the timing and demand were not right.
After decades of supposedly being ahead of my time, the world is catching up, while I had all this material to create hundreds of houses stashed away in warehouses that now must be emptied. Just in time, the world will need this to create new solutions that work better than the collapsing system as the war, the economy, and the cost of living escalate.
Now it appears that more people are awakening to the housing needs and the desire to get out of the cities soon. Gardening, homesteading, staying healthy in both body and mind are finally becoming priorities over looking good, having a great car and apartment, but being miserably in debt and thus imprisoned with no chance of escape for decades. What if you lose your job? The world is changing fast, and most are not prepared. Some are waking up and realizing there is a different path to aging better, loving life more, and escaping the traps that the media has convinced people will make them happy. It has not.
Fuel costs to start, then food, and it finally seems to be forming into an economic bomb. No surprises here, as Wii expected much of what has happened, with the collapse of global delivery networks, imports suffering from tariffs, and rising costs to ship products around the world. What size house and car do you want if you had to choose and could not maintain the lifestyle you are accustomed to? Don’t have a clue. Then leaving the Matrix is not for you.
Fuel costs will make the locality for building, buying, and living a matter of saving money. The cost of a gallon of diesel will have nearly doubled from 8 weeks before I write this article. It will not get better for years, yet somehow the average American cannot see the consequences of such costs showing up in their lives as soon as they will. Driving 30 miles each way in a truck that gets 13 miles per gallon will put a damper on frivolous trips into town from the ranch or small towns outside the cities.
Where will the cutbacks in spending come from to help cover the loss of spending money as food and fuel prices rise rapidly, which no employer will be able to match with raises soon? Quite contrarily, more losses of jobs as the public has less money to spend on things they do not desperately need, such as food, medical care, medicines, clothes for the kids, and the many other costs associated with having a car, phone, insurance, and a home you are likely renting. Nothing will get cheaper except the things no one wants, which they are desperate to sell to get food, fuel, and essentials. Don’t forget cigarettes, alcohol, or drugs, the best-selling products in the hardest of times, which usually have gambling and sex included with the activities that follow their purchase.
Why not consider working with the magic possible when you salvage great spaces and create homes from them that will be healthy, imaginative, and last for lifetimes without destroying a tree, making glass, or destroying life so as to create disposable homes that make people sick and are obsolete within twenty years of when they are built.
The future was clear long ago, from my perspective, with a childhood unlike most kids’, and what I got to see convinced Mii there was more to come. I would survive my childhood, though it would seem miraculous. It has been, is, and promises to be more amazing in the coming years. Welcome to the nightmares that Darby once had when he was given some insight into the world ahead. Know that this is the chance of a lifetime to become your very best version of yourself when the world needs your help most. Open a PSO Co-op in your area and grow the ethos of community the old-fashioned way, neighbor helping neighbor.
As a lifelong pacifist, the child of a patriot who drenched villages in napalm during the Vietnam War, I protest. As a veteran of an era where Americans killed 2,000 of their enemy for every American lost, over 45,000 of our sons died, but millions of their children, parents, grandparents, and all the innocent lives were starved and killed.
My father dropped Agent Orange to destroy the farm fields and devastate the economy of the North Vietnamese. It is so sad to understand what was done by Americans in that war. Now, Wii, the humans that can see around the world, must stand up to get a change of venue in our government as soon as possible, like this week. NOT the Tomorrow that never comes.
WILL THIS LEAD TO A REBELLION OF BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT?
Support Tucker Carlson, listen to his words, and understand that he dedicates his life to showing, by acts, to lead. The system keeps a good man out; no one can survive if they threaten the system, but he has… God bless his goals and being the lens to bring light to the Truths at last, with the internet to spread the word around the world so fast it can bring change. This is the time of Truth if Wii, all the people who see join as One force, not one person alone, but the masses giving the support and protecting those who do speak out, expose the evil in our world. Candice, Snowden, and the most famous whistleblower hero, Julian Assange, will be the historical figures whose voices and actions changed the world by exposing what the masses come to know and see.
Bakhtinian Dialogism on Steroids, Webbling the words into the fabric of global consciousness through a frequency that weaves truth over lies and lights up the flaws that lead to enlightenment. Thusly, the Christus is ignited and the demons so exposed, will refuse to touch the cross or the Bible as they realize and know how strong Wii are. Whistleblowing warriors by the droves are rising up to expose the places and the deeds where the evil deeds were wrought. Soon, there will be nowhere on the Earth where they may hide, and the evil ones who want war are in a race to kill and divide. Rise up and join together, for the future will be grim if Wii do not stop the madness that can be caused by an evil few.
What a fantasy it seems, surreality for sure, but this is not a movie on the big screen, as it will affect you and Mii if the masses don’t see the truths soon.
Tribunals must come soon, it’s true, but for whom and by whom is due to be decided, I still fear, AI will run it, and it could be you or Mii. Keep on fighting to expose the truth and protect the elderly, the truth for our youth, so they don’t get sent to war to be the profits for these entities exposed. Pfizer, Moderna, Fauci, and Gates evade global scrutiny and the courts that are finally in a rage.
The truth will come out, and the consequences will as well, but the sad thing is the masses will be the ones in a living hell. Will they escape, the creators of this plan to wipe out all who would fight them in their goal to rule the world, and choose to use their power now? Who controls the leaders rules the Armies and the wars. So who controls if the people’s vote won’t? I wonder what that answer will reveal?
After 70 years on the planet, having seen the world across several continents, I have found that, for the most part, people don’t want war or such evil around. How do Wii stop it, resist, and bring it down? I ponder, and I wonder in a fantasy I’ve found may hold some truths.
What is the Matrix, and who controls what reality turns out to be after this transformation? Wii are being hit by the most incredible energy, empowering those who came to be the warriors who are called to make this right. Rise and be heard> be real> authentic at any price, not just nice. Wake up and help others do the same so that the resistance is in all the lands that it must be to stop this madness in the world.
For many years, I have been of the school of thought that preparation is vital if you want to thrive during a possible blackout, or now, the consequences of a war that could cause a global depression. Fuel costs are driving food costs up faster than anyone can imagine. The cost of diesel is already higher than it was in the last round of high fuel prices ten years ago.
Are you ready yet? Got some spare fuel stashed away just in case? How about a week or two of food and water? If not, wake up before it is too late to gather these vital parts of what it takes to care for you and your family in the next year.
The worst crisis known to mankind in the modern world will change society in ways no one imagines. Wii, those who can see into the future a bit further than ordinary people who pay no attention to the global situation. You are in trouble and do not know it yet if you are not paying attention to the coming draconian changes. As announced by the President this week, the federal government is not going to insure daycare, Medicare, or other individual needs; instead, the states should take care of them by raising taxes. Who will be protected from the consequences of this war on our economy when the poorest citizens get hurt the most?
This is the new plan for how our government deals with those of us who oppose the war, the economic collapse, and the federal government’s abandonment of our people’s welfare. This shift in expectations will result in great wars, economic disaster, rising food costs, and chaos if the intended course is not swiftly derailed. This is all being done to launch unnecessary wars that kill others and destroy the world economy with our tax dollars, but not with our majority consent.
What if people rebel against paying the bill for the meal they did not order? Let those who benefit pay for it, and then punish those who commit crimes against humanity with equal vigor, but more importantly, a successful change in how America is administered. Let us put honorable people who are not in politics for profit and their personal power.
How will the government deal with the rebellion against the crimes against humanity being committed by our government without our permission, as a public that voted against war, or so they thought? That was based on what Trump said on the campaign trail to get elected? It appears it was all lies, simply the setup for what has happened instead, and would have happened regardless of who was elected. Yes, the election was stolen, but from the people around the world using media, propaganda, theater on the stage, all actors, and lies. Is this the New World once written about and called fiction? Indeed, 1984, thanks to Palantir, is now possible.
Dividing those who challenge power lets the few control the masses. The path to freeing all the Beings is to recognize more than one, all the Beings who have been wronged for the centuries men have been in power. Who planned the future so well as to predict it long ago? Few can imagine what it takes to plan for eons, then to make the hologram that seems real but can not play out except as planned. Wii think that Man will decide the fate of a planet and a destiny for the planet and so many Beings that humans can not imagine them.
Religions lead to traps and horrors that no other can compare, for all the lives lost to the goal that the world will soon be ruled by “One!” The never-ending quandary that keeps all from joining in to unite and fight together so that more of us will live to savor what could then be done if the wars were to end seems near.
Mohamad, Jesus, Buda, Lord, what word do you give to God? So many languages to use, and so many perspectives on who is right. Wars result in exclusion that takes a billion lives. Stop the fighting if you can by believing in one God that reigns over the others into a global peace.
As the different versions of what April Fools Day can produce, is it AI or reality that Wii deduces to be true? Who realized that the AI forgot to do some things that make it easy to see what fools most of those like me or you? Once you are awakened and see with both your eyes, and the “I” that is within you, the Spirit that survives. That is the Mii to make the body and the Spirit One with the Cosmos and the energy some call a God or Host. The Source of life energy, the code that lets us live through an avatar, a body that is not subpar if Wii care for it by treating it well.
A Wubtron, once inside this abode of living flesh that learns and grows to fulfill a mission that is planned long before Wii take this form and grow up to show our Love. With that, Wii can make the changes by standing up for the Rightful Reasons instead of hate or greed, or worse, the decadence that lets men kill.
Once a Wubber, truly bound in Wublock for our future found once tribunals clean the world now bound by the evil forces that are being exposed. If the internet allows for Webblers to expose, expound, and show the way Wii have been fooled, the Wubbers will Win, the others will lose. The Light of Truth exposes those who traffic humans, and eat them too. Once upon a time, they told the people that that was not true, but once the sources of those words were shown to be the worst of turds that should be flushed down, fully drowned. Such evil beings that lie and kill for the sake of sex, power, or youth should be confined and taken down to Gitmo till their wealth is found and stripped. Then let them go to another space, a Phantom Zone in a computer device that will hold them there for the rest of time, not allowed to reincarnate for and endless amount of time.
Whistleblowers who once whispered words to those who had them killed to hide the truth are heroes for the rest of time. Truth must win, and in proven ways by prosecuting, punishing, and proving to the world it won’t happen again.
When the Sun flashes bright and the days look more like nights, volcanoes blow smoke above the clouds that block the light. With the wars and bombs that blow the past away, they destroy the lands for centuries to be the battlefields of a past that few will ever see. History will seldom tell the truth of what Wii will all call Hell. Soon, the reasons to homestead will become the best alternative to dying, as cities need food and water imports to stay free. Otherwise, they have no place to go, no place to hide. Could it happen? Most say no, but more are doubting this, I know. How about you?
Pity that our fantasies can’t get outside our heads to make a difference in the world, just when it opens up to a plan that was sent long before the events that are coming up. Is it possible Wii win and WUB becomes the way to bring us to a time when Truth can radiate and Peace on Earth ensues? That is why the writers can create cartoons that would bring the hero, as this story goes, from the brink of suicide to becoming one of those who lead the charge once he has done what Rubbles said so very long ago. How could a lowly Earthworm know all the things that Rubbles told Darby when he asked to know where his painful life would go?
From childhood poems to a mind that roams on a keyboard tied to a screen that lets that little boy now do what seemed like miracles. From a poor and sickly child, taken round the world before he understood his place in time, a path would lead to joy. Sharing what he found through all the paths he took through Hell created by a system devised to take men down. Darby rose from a place that few rise from to succeed, but he believed that somehow, someday, he would live to do great deeds. Tis the faith in a purpose that gives us the strength to do the impossible deeds for no one else believes that Wii can fulfill with no way to succeed. What Darby learned through trials of faith is that Wii must grow the seeds of a fate that will then become our life, one planned for us to live.
With this little series of cartoons and words to show that there is a time for everything, a time when you will know to come to life and fulfill a mission you were born to be part of with your sight. You can see what most can not and feel the energy Wii got to do the work that must be done, and the inspiration that leads to “One for All to live in Peace.”
A simple set of words to tell the ethos and the concept of a Union of the Beings that live on any planet you may give it to. The simple root words, WIB & WUB, expand to give us all a path to communicate with all involved, instead of thinking speaking human is the only way to know what other Beings think. I pray that more will share and learn that the time has come to earn our place in the Cosmos as a Planet of Peace by showing Wii can clean up this mess when given the tools Wii have. Translate and be a Wubber who will share the simple little language that could join the world up into a World Union that will be Full of Truth and Light. No more wars, but full transparency so as to punish those who create what Wii now sees as wrong.
Stop the madness with the tools, the internet, and the tribunals Wii must use to cleanse the world. Stop the strife for profit and power, to control the planet by killing off most of its life.
