greenhouse construction + rocket mass heater how to tutorial



Nicole and I want to build a rocket stove in our green house. I won bricks on eBay yesterday. Juergen helped me buy the bricks and cement for the foundation. We also bought the wood for the frame of the front and back walls. He helped me allot. I know I could have done it (poorly) with out him. But it will be much better with his input. And we found a good door we can buy. I just didn't have the space in the car yesterday. We also want to build a giant cross on the front with glass bottles. It will be a stain glass window in the shape of a cross. Juergen helped me figure out how to do that technically. So, Nicole and I will do most of the work, and Juergen will do a small amount of the work too. We just don't have the expertise he does. I know I've posted this video 2 or 3 times, but he idea is so cool. I think this is how we will heat our green house this winter.

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
