Time to Share the benefits of Pure Salvage Living w/ You.

In 2007, I created a card for Tiny Texas Houses as I embarked on a mission to show what could be built in a new genre of tiny organic cottages built sustainably, without toxins found in new materials, and without imports. The objective was to create an energy-efficient alternative to the big box house/store/subdivision mentality. Along the way, I found that the mobile home industry had moved in and taken over the narrative, creating Tiny Houses On Wheels (THOWs), which were sold successfully to the public as a form of downsizing. I beg to differ and have for a decade, but I do not build any more houses for the public for reasons other than their dominance due to financing and a willingness to compromise the health of the end-users of the homes they build solely for profit.

Now, nearly 20 years later, I am on a quest to find the next generation that can carry on the ethos and renaissance by growing the legacy of Salvage, Texas, and the concepts of Pure Salvage Living, building in the Tiny Texas Houses genre with 95% salvaged materials.

The concept of becoming a Renaissance Man who has many skills, is autodidactic, thus never halting learning, improving, and growing up to mature at 66-78

It’s been a bit since I last blogged, and much has happened to change the scope of Salvage, TX. The public is no longer able to visit freely, stay in the houses, or participate in internships, seminars, or tours. Thank you for your support and best wishes until we come back online, if that’s the case.

Soon to be part of a new chapel for ceremonies and weddings… which you could help fund and thus get your weddings in too. The Wood Nymphs Chapel is the next one I will create. Want to help?

Salvage, Texas is near Luling, Texas on the side of Interstate 10 where 43 acres have been nurtures in an attempt to create a utopian example of what could be created if we salvaged land, buildings, barns, homes, and other treasures from the past to fix and make the world a better place for all who follow us in the future.

No water stood in Salvage, Texas, just ten years ago. Now the waterways have over two miles of shoreline, have 30-foot deep ponds, fish, turtles, frogs, and birds… all flourishing. Water and clay make life in a very different way in Salvage, Texas. Join us to help create the permaculture food paradise that it can now become.

We have succeeded in so many ways to take a barren wasteland and turn it into a paradise where fish and fowl flourish, where frogs and birds sing endlessly now, and where people can come to escape, heal, and create the future they want to live, starting with the day they leave here imbued with inspiration to take action, make changes, and live a longer stronger life once the key to reaching your goals is clear. Hope lies in both the chance and the ability; the passion helps to create the dreams we hold and make them real, especially once we see what could be done.

The House of the Rising Sun is in need of some shining and then ready for another decade or ten of living in.
This poor home is awaiting its return to Salvage, Texas, where it was born.

I am getting back to the reason I came to Texas: to earn a substantial amount of money to fund writing and publishing my work one day, when I grow up. Well, since I may not grow up, I have been advised to start publishing all the things I have written while waiting to get older… which I thought meant “Growing Up” when I am getting shorter, it seems. Hehe.

So, onward with the blogs on this site, instead of the Pure Salvage Living.com site, which was somehow obliterated after 13 years of feeding it. So it goes, and a new chapter begins for Darby, Ghostwriter for BWK, who has gone away on a sabbatical from business that may take a few decades to return from… so Wii will be running things until he returns.

Trinity is the one to contact for information about visiting, staying, or touring. Wii are a growing group of artists with a bent toward making the world a better place with all Wii create. Thank you for sharing the launch of our new blogs and websites, where we hope to contribute to the dialogue on how we can find a way to maximize the treasure of the past by empowering the masses to use their imagination to provide all they need without sacrifice or greed.
