It’s already the futures expiration so there is no use in looking at patterns in my opinion - we will have to see how the CME traders react to last month's huge price fluctuations. Most important: will these close their positions (long or short) or will they extend their contract to next month. Also, and youre the market maker guys: 57K is the point of must hurt for both shorts and longs. So BTC will stay there till expiration; then either a pump or a dump but given they need to sell more futures and want to extend the bull run for as long as possible; they should pump over the weekend. Yes thats fake land but ideal for the market maker to push BTC potentially above 60K already this weekend in order to create an higher entry on Monday when CME opens again. For the bearish scenario; exactly the opposite. Just saying: there is a reason for BTC to be where it is right now. I have had good and bad times in the crypto world. I didn’t think it was possible to make constant win from tradlng till I came across Daniel Wright program for lnvestors/newbies who lack understanding on how tradlng Bit¢σ!и works, to help them stack up more 𝔹𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕠𝕚𝕟, since late last year till date I have made over 19₿TC from 2.6₿TC with Daniel's help.

If done properly, straw bale construction can be quite fire-resistant. The problem is that most people don't put the right efforts into it or miss the details or both. Compressed straw doesn't burn. it chars slowly on the surface with little heat transfer to the inside of the bales which inhibits the combustion process. Several straw bale homes have survived forest fires which destroyed normally constructed homes around them. But the way it was done here isn't the right way and getting rid of it is a very wise move. I happen to like those windows, but they need some careful attention now and regular re-painting. I like the open floor plan too. And the storage space is vast and awesome, maybe some re-arrangement tio better divide or repurpose the space. Glad y'all are able to live your dreams and have such a nice home- good people deserve that!

[@jakedixon9615]

Sweet crib, Steve. I worked for a straw bale builder in California for a couple years. While I appreciated the thick walls and insulation value, I always remained skeptical of encapsulating straw. I don’t blame you for 86ing it. Luckily, the post and beam construction leaves you a nice skeleton to work with. I can see the amazing canvas you have to work with and look forward to seeing your renovations. Your property looks amazing. Props for having the balls to tear into this project. Just discovered your channels and my 7 year old son and I are huge fans already. Don’t even care what your videos are about, just hope you keep ‘em coming. Please do another Tom Sawyer Huck Finn down the river with Crazy Neighbor. You guys are some cool mofos. Peace!

You could compost the straw, then when you are ready start a garden. From a gardener that uses mulch.

[@GoshGus]

Great for mulch. I wonder if the straw was chemically treated, though.

[@ilusiodiamondmask1607]

Depends if the straw walls were chemically treated. Probably a lot of lime on the outer edges of the straw as well. Lime is very caustic if not dealt with properly. No point composting straw if it significantly changes the soil ph

[@gs4984]

Got to be careful with straw on account it can burst into flames when it breaks down. Must aerate it regularly.

[@palmerdex]

My first thoughts after seeing that dumpster full of straw. Since I am a dumpster diver I am sensitive about this

I can't imagine why one would says it looks like a smart buy because we know nothing of the costs or trade offs or even what made this a "good deal" for Steve. It's out in the sticks with little to none internet/wireless/upload capabilities. Where is crazy neighbor going to live when this is done? How far away - or on the property? Where is Beautiful Wife living now? Steve has hinted he cannot afford two places while the renovation is happening - so...? Is the You Tube venture paying for the house renovations?

Once all of the straw bales are ripped out and insulating bats are put in you'll have reclaimed a lot of room/square footage.
