Be careful with that secret knowledge, OP. You're dealing with things beyond your comprehension.

OP, have you ever considered building a boat made entirely of small stones? Stones are pretty sturdy AND fire-resistant. The perfect material for a boat, when you think about it.

Rytheric posted:Its different though. Like yeah my bedding may smell like ash, but at least fecal matter spray is not wafting itself onto the bread in the kitchen or on my bed, and the humidity from the shower or boiling water isn't creating a mold culture everywhere in the house. Ultimately though I dont know if I can tolerate my bedding and clothes smelling of ash though. You may have convinced me that the firepit is a bad idea unless I make it smokeless like a charcoal pit or something. So you're going to have one house to take a shower, one house to cook, one house to take a poo poo, and one more to sleep?

Rytheric posted:Thats kind of the natural order of things. When I was living in the woods for a bit, a common rule of thumb was "Dont poo poo where you eat, don't eat where you sleep, and don't ever poo poo the bed." How this played out was you'd set up a sleeping tent somewhere about a mile from the river or creek. Then you would cook, eat, clean near the creek. Then you'd dig a cat hole to poo poo and cover up about a mile of so from either location (and preferably downstream). You can see this play out on the first season of Alone where the winner did what I described where as one of the former pathfinder school teachers was eating in camp which invited a mountain lion to investigate his campsite. Where I was camping in the woods there were 3 bears in the vicinity and a couple fox. You dont eat or poo poo where you sleep in bear country! You're not camping out, you're going to live there, lmao. A bear is not going to break into your house, just because you have a toilet under the same roof with your bed. If anything, it's more likely to sniff you out, because various smells from the toilet and the gazebo kitchen can be easier carried by the wind when they're not behind several doors, walls, and a roof. And then you can't even take a poo poo at night, because there's a bear trying to hump your outhouse.

A couple of centuries ago people used to build houses without cranes all the time. Surely, one could easily replicate these ancient techniques.

Here's an idea. You make a huge dirt mound, then dig a hole in the middle where the building goes, and bam, you've got easy access to the top of the building. Just lower all building parts down in the right order and remove the rest of the dirt when the house is done.

Trees stay outside in the forest all the time, and they're just fine. The doors are made of trees, nothing could possibly happen to them.

Hm. So I've run into some issues with completing the deal on the Golden Gate Bridge. It's a minor setback, really. I'll just need to remortgage the house to get the money needed for the down payment, but it should be smooth sailing from there.

I forgot to mention the hell portal connecting the property to the sulphur dimension from which bemons (beast demons) invade our reality every full moon. It also smells of sulphur, but not too strongly, so it shouldn't be a big issue.

Rytheric posted:so the story on this one was that i went to chicago to see a lady friend I had met from a vegan facebook page i was on for a while and went to do a week long fast with her while fixing up her condo and her car because she let things fall apart and her friends were the kind that would say they would do something, but never get around to do it. It was kind of bad. It's always nice when people learn from their extremely awful life-threatening mistakes.

Relax, after stepping on a mine and losing both legs, I am now much more cautious about navigating mine fields. In fact, for my next mine field expedition, I'm taking four bowling balls to throw around and check for mines.

Rytheric posted:Look. Im not getting rid of the GroverTruk unless it just flat out dies beyond repair. Even then, I'm not going to go after an ambulance or a skoolie. They don't meet my needs. I have no intention of idling a vehicle to charge my batteries except as an emergency situation, and I'd rip all the cabinets and such out of an ambulance to insulate it. For a bus the amount of windows and it being encase in metal (only the roof is metal in the box of GroverTruk) make them wasteful to heat. Most earthships designs I've seen call for only 30-40% windows. The GroverTruk will be roughly at that and it's more insulated than an ambulance or typical skoolie. 4 walls?
