) and to and fro under the floor and then cover with insulation. Under floor heating . Recycle through panel and tank in day, and heat the water , cycle through tank and underfool at night .
But this is good for climate here , not sure about yours - pipes would travel through the cold and loose too much heat ???
Snow drift ? What the hell is that !
So there is a lot I would not factor in for your situation .
Sketches, blue prints and models ... invaluable !
Yes, they will need framework and fixing ... how windy does it get ? That can be a factor for securing windows .
Another hint if using ply ; put strips of wood on it at appropriate intervals and it gives the appearance of board and batten wall ; its heaps cheaper than real B&B and a better look than plain ply ;
Some type of underground 'heat pump; system .... it will draw in fresh air and warm it .
The farm down south I used to visit got VERY cold (for me ) . It had a great old school wood heater . The house was airtight . THis heater had glass panel doors at front , front loading with a side door for optional loading (larger logs ) and a cooking top , It had tubes at the back that went through the wall to the outside and sucked in fresh cold air . They passed through the heater and warmed the fresh air and vented it out the top of the heater , this went into the room and rose . As it cool it sank and pooled on the floor . The heater had a fire box air intake very close to the floor that flared out , like the end of a vacuum cleaner , sucking the cooled now stale air up, to feed the fire and expel it out the chimney . Sealed house , fresh warm air, no mold
emoji house ?
Then type on a lap top .... you are hard to read with all the Caps !
In colder climates, having everything sealed leads to condensation. Condensation is water. Water accumulation in such places leads to mold.
I havent Built a lot of houses, but I have had some experiences with that.
Im sorry I didnt reply back soon.

I've thought long and hard, and studied quite a bit, but can't bring myself to believe in a religion. I'm aware of a God, but idk much more about it. Idk what it wants or what it does, but my religious family does, and I'm jealous. There's a certain power to understanding the world through the lens of religion, and it gives a supernatural strength to have that knowledge base, and to have a God to lean on. I don't have that.
Everybody says Im this or I am that.
Or even worse claims to be somethiNg they are not.
Worse still the implications of yadda yadda are entirely lost.
Well My dude, Ive Been theRe. Its actually More compliCated than wethink.
Rather than tell you the right way:
The buddhist will say:
Follow this to its conclusion becauSe you doNt want stuck energy.
A christian will say:
Oh thats bad.
In reality if thisis the case, its due to desires and crap. (The darKened mind/Reprobation)
What I am starting to find is that people are so quick to say:
Im going to heaven, or Im a dharma protector, or Im a Sadhak's Keen Sabacc, or Tar-Aid (which is like Kool-Aid but 1e10 Better)
When they dont really understand the complexities.
Elements, Jinn, Mountianous thoughtforms are generally neutral just like your emotions of being generally atheist are neutral. Atheism is just an element, like Feng Shui is, like Treenet (sanskrit: TenTru [urt-tree net-connected]) is.
Its the stuck stuff (taoist), what buddists call crystalization, what christians call strongholds, or fixation of focus on lower physical things and baser feelings of anger and retribution that keep us in our actions of same behaviors and outcomes daily.
After reading the Bible many Many tiMes... Mysticism is spirit skills.
Life and Death is in the power of the tongue (James)
Thoughts are not stored in the Brain.
(As they are spirits)
The word of God can be declared and angels must carry it out.
The triangular powers heavenlies, earth, sun-moon can Be Declared to fight for you.
There are many other hidden weapons.
The only forbidden thing is power that comes from demons (which is the actual witchCraft).
A Christian can Command any angel or Demon to Carry out a command with a righteous outcome.
So, eVerything being said:
Find out why you feel like that. Then see what youre ready for. Cause forcing stuff doesnt work very well. Fighting for or agaiNst tHings stops any change process

11 hours ago, Nungali said:... or just go 'Huf Haus' - they have been doing it for years and have some good designs ( German engineering
) ;
( This is a similar style to what I strive for here beautiful finished wood , lots of glass , neat shiny fittings , but after a LOT of hard work, various skills need and $$$$$$s but greatly cheaper than asking a builder to make a house like that .... to see a wall go in like this , with dressed and finished timber - and not have to do all that yourself AND make mistakes - and interior finish - and some even have the wall , roof and floor sections ready plumbed wired and with drainage
, super easy , quick and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$s )
Over the years I have come up with some innovative design features ( Including the blue prints and in some cases models - I highly recommend making a model !
Anyway, I won't go further now ; first the basics need addressing like location, environment , orienteering , capital , resources , etc.
[ I watched a Huff team from Germany assemble one in 4 days . The last part of the 4th day the house was finished but then they emptied the truck and cleaned it , went over the engine . Pulled all their equipment and tools apart and cleaned them, including their tool boxes , air blasted them out, washed all the tools, dried them and went over each one with an oily rag and repacked everything .... Germans ! Gotta luv 'em ! And that is the type of fastidiousness and pride they have to assemble your house . The owner of this one , a Brit was amused at all that and at end as they where departing he questioned them as to why they where worried . They were worried that they where not running ahead of schedule enough , any hold up on the trip could make them late back to home base in Germany . The Brit asked '' So ? " They replied , " Well, our boss will not be happy ! "
Brit ; " Yeah, so .... and then what ?"
Germans ; " .... he will not be happy . "
.... or , you could bet a builder from the UK
I like the pole construction idea...
Definately metal roof with soundproofing. Not going to go supersteep from the poles But enough to encorage the runoff into a reaserVoir pond with turbo snails Probably add some iNterMittent heat and assistwd heat for winter and some structure to passivly proteCt surfaces and moss during wiNter.
My latitude is 45.4647° N so the house will face south with large windows and add some front Japanese style archetecture to prevent driftiNg (snow).
Pond water will be treatedin the manner of the edomite city of Petra. Only because I spent my life learning that crap and how to move water without exCessive energy. ill add a huge garDen but most of it will Be douBle sCreened from view like JapaNeSe DeSign. The screen baffles will also divert runoff to the reservior.
Inside pipes Will be metal due to the additional PAW (cold atMospheric plasma) treatiNg the water. AnAnnnndd.. plastic Breaks down into bisphenols with plasma treated water which leads to cognitiVe DecliNe and death (PubMed).. so I treally hate plaStic like RIGHT NOW! 😡👺👹
So... now I just have to figure out how to Build it or Die trying.🤣😂😂🤣
But seriously, Ill probably uSe telephoNe poles for poles Cause their super cheap and alreaDy treated and usually super accessable and probably consult around until I find some really good iDeas. Obviously Im going to Need walls that Can hold windows and that wont work for the 3ply siDe insulation CeiliNg type tHiNg, exvept in places I might Be aBle to get away with it.
FiNally, it should be air tight, But airtight also means Mold. This time around buildiNg something I might try siliCa packs AND Alum since that dries tHe Sheet out of mold mayBe with a Built in periodic small ozone deViCe emBedded.. I dunno yet. Gonna see what I find.
Just did some sketches but it ends up looking like... um... a big grin literally.

The land I purchase will be just out of town, obviously privacy screen.
Years of rainwater harbesting and usiNg electrostatic to dc generators and other methods... Yeah thats too complex for most, using a poNd as a reserVior... Lets stick to discussing construction metHods.

I just realized that everytHing I had posted here had already been talked about.
Its all been done.

anybody eVer goNe the modular home route with SIP (prefabricated walls? ) Just ConsiDering this as a possibility. But it would Be niCe to know if anyBody has trieD this and what their results were.
Also looking into other sustaiNable House ConstruVtion methods if you guys have any suggestions

7 hours ago, Lairg said:Relationships are usually much more complex than they look.
An hour ago a woman called me. She had met a man and had feelings for him that were complex.
With a very little verbal prompting she saw she was his mother long ago in a mud hut. She felt she had not been properly present for him.
Then she saw a later life. She was a wealthy woman riding a horse and he was a stable hand running just behind her. She said she felt responsible for him. Probably he was her legal property at that time.
Then she saw another life - that I cannot recall.
So while I was speaking with her, she sent heart light to him in this life and suddenly commented: Oh he feels more at peace now
I am not always right.

My ex-wiFe was a Narcissist that ran my life into the ground: sold all My chinese medicine books and Valubles.
If you find she is... RUN. leaVe the state

1 hour ago, Tommy said:Different words for love must mean there are different nuances to love. Love of mom which brings a safe feeling. Love of a good woman which brings feelings of joy. My issue is when one does give and give and give, the feeling one got was one of being happy for doing it. After so much time, does it change and then become something which is more burden than love?? Then more questions, like was it true love if this is how I feel (burden) now? I know I do not wish to be a burden. Guess as life goes on, one learns to accept things as they are?
After praying and meditating on this; I say that sometimes women see a man as a Feather in their hat or a noVelty. Not eVeryone CouNts the coSt of maiNtaining a relationship.
Its a long of communiCation of needs, serViNg the other.
When that doesht happen, reseNtmeNt and feet Dragging happen.
THey say opposites attract. Well f that. Find a woman just like you becauSe no one is so cruel so as to Reject themselVes. 😂🤣

What is love? Baby Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. No more.
As a husband, I do what is needed to keep this relationship with my wife and child. I believe it is out of love but I really do not know for certain. Because I do not know if love is suppose to be as a servant to others? To give and give and make others feel fuzzy, safe, secure or bubbly?
What is love? Baby Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. No more.
Yeah, cork tree ... gives and gives and gives??? Or is it that people take and take and take? Okay, trust in doing so things will be better?
What is love? Baby Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. No more.

Love believe it or not is actually service to others. So, me and My wife mwy disagree occasionally. But when she is sick, who cleans up or cooks her food wnd takes care of her? Me. Obviously I do those things a lot. When a relwtionship is healthy, I believe this is how it works. Lots of communication is better than igNoriNg.
Obviously this is close/faMilial love not
Philia or Agape.
PhiLia is towards friends
Agape is prihcipled love for enemies.
Greeks have lots of words for love

I started to think how I would explain forums to me daughter.
Then I realized forums are kind of a dying thing, Most use a type of corroborational app or social app like signal to communicate.
The wave of the future has drifted to the security hole rich corner called Javascript, Apks and Apps.
Will forums survive? Hmm. Good question people hardly know whqt forums are now. Ask me in 20 years.
Even at that, who would write the code, array, Database, organize the data sets without rewriting current sets? only a programmer can do that job. Who would decide? Who would code? OBviously I dont own TDB but I ask this questioN now, thinkiNg of how thiNgs have developed.

16 hours ago, Tommy said:What is love and why do you have to give and give and give? Also, what does it have to do with the reality of a cork tree? Please explain what you are asking or trying to state. I am a simple person and need help to understand. Thank you.
1. What is love? A statement in the form of a question is called rhetoric especially when used to trigger a positive reaction from people.
2. Why does one give and give? Love is something that is given and makes people feel fuzzy, safe, secure or bubbly. If are a husband or wife you agree to indefinitely serve the other (love). If you have children you agree to indefinitely offer emotional and stable support (love). Obviously, there are those who do not understand family bonds. Love CemeNtS eVerythiNg together.
3. What it has to do with a cork tree:
All trees haVe a Cambium a green layer between the bark and the wood/heartwood. This is its circulatory system. Harvesting Cork if Not traiNed can damage the cambium. Think of it like tHis: Humans haVe Multiple layers of skin, muCh like bark. Closer to the Cambium you haVe living tissue. If soMeoNe were to remoVe 6 of your niNe layers of skin you would feel sore and tender too. Trees do feel and thanks to ADenosine TripHosphate can commuNicate pain. It is a painful experience.
Its not really that dense, it probably just iNitially sounded super compliCated wHen its super easy.
So, giving and giving can sometimes feel like you're a cork tree. You haVe to trust the process, be consistent and truSt that in doing so things will be better.
-
You give and giVe and give no matter how it hurts. That's the reality of the cork tree.

I think huManity tries to do these things perioDically until it gets shut down. Take for example the wooly mammoth and such and attempts to clone one.
As a result of some of it, nicotiNe genes added to our corn crops haVe Been found oVer a great length of time to cauSe Cancer in bees. Some of tHe geNetic Creations do that. EVeNtually it will open the dialouge about whether geNetic modifiCations respeCts life. But, only wHen people haVe to faCe the consequenCes. Apparently people haVe to be reaDy for things.
Plastic when ingested leads to bisphenol toxicity whiCh leads to cogNitiVe decliNe and in extreme Cases death. PubMed.
Discussion of tHis just reMinds me how much science in some of its extremes has disregarded life. Obviously my conCern is for life.
The wolf thing was a two edged sword. Yes they are dogs geNetically. HoweVer, the result of saving them did lead to some interestiNg results which were Not what was expeCted. Humans sometiMes, most times do not think of outcomes or results of their deeply felt whims.
Take disrespect for example. Dialougue isn't always about fruit. However, if you're hard coDed to making everything about fruit, its grapes. 😂

Modular Homes
in The Rabbit Hole
Posted
😐
Yeah, It was people who had called us and had completely sealed around their windows and had water accumulation.
Then there was this guy who insulated and lived out of his van that we had to bring to the hospital. His van was full of black mold.
Somehow, I haVe this strange feeling that maybe, just maybe, there might be a possibility that you might not know what you are talking about. But, thats okay because I used to think people held themselves to the same standards.
E.g. In the past I used to respond with "I dont know, maybe salt for toothpaste alternatives due to flouride salts from plants or aquafers. The fact is I often admitted in circumstances that I was wrong. I can't do that in this post now, knowing what I know.
