Why an Earthship?


I have been thinking allot about the idea of the "END TIMES". Are we living in the end times? I watch the events in the world, and I think that we are living in what the Bible calls the last days. I am not interested in building a cabin in the woods and stocking it with food and guns. I do however think more and more about the idea of being self sustaining. I like Earth ships because they are self sustaining. I doubt very much I can build an Earth ship in Germany. Germans care allot about the environment, but they also love their rules. It would be hard to get them to give me permission to build a home out of trash. I care about the environment, but I want an Earth ship because it is a fully self sustaining way to live. The sad thing is we may need this sort of home in the future. You may think I am crazy? I wonder if you will think me crazy in 10 or 20 years?

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.
