Can We Build This House All By Ourselves??? Podcast Ep. No 69

No longer worrying about what people think about you is not weird it’s being comfortable in your skin and your life

[@rhondaalbrecht]

Yep, to me, it's reaching maturity. Too many people don't make it there! The ONLY One you need to worry about is God Most High. He's the One that counts. No one else matters on this earth!

As soon as you pour the pad, immediately put down a gravel path around the whole thing. If you don't, you will have a mud stain for about two feet up on the sides that you may never be able to clean off.

Brooke, to keep you from worrying, the best thing you can do for posts in the ground is to use the Japanese process for preserving wood called Shou Sugi Ban. You char the post with fire, then you coat it with natural oil like linseed. Not only does it become waterproof, it also deters bugs.

You’re building a storm shelter inside the house so you don’t have to go outside in the ground that’s perfectly fine a lot of people don’t think of that they figure a storm shelter is outside you’re thinking outside the box and building it inside the house where it’s safer I like that idea

Are your inside dogs and cats and birds going to fit in the shelter. What about your outside animals? Will they have some place to be safe in case of really bad weather. Especially the dogs and cats. Nugget too.

Brooke, steel does need painting eventually. Next time driving in town, look for old business signs. They have character rust and age. But maybe they have new treatments now. Talk to a name brand paint center (not a box store) as they have the latest research and development of paints. Your house build sounds like a great journey and plenty of future content! By the time you are ready to start though, you should have all your outside projects done. Enjoy!

Just for future reference. You don't want pelletized lime you want ag lime. Pelletized lime is used in farming where there a short term contract because it requires annual application, whereas ag lime in for multi year PH control.

If your water taste bad then your water line may need to be flushed out.The water line that used to feed the old mobile home that was there probably runs directly out to the highway and a meter .That is a very long line that dead ends at the tiny house.The hose that you use for the geese/ducks/etc could be hooked up to your camper.That will keep your camper/tiny home supply line flushed out and fresh.Backflow is a concern .Ask a plumber.
