Take a look at the treehouse master's TV series....they fascinate me as to the newest thing on the block in housing. If one has the land... the options on an house are unlimited pretty much. OK, let's rephase that one..if one has an few really sturdy trees, about any floor plan will work. BTW...the foundation is bolted into the tree...plus supports to the ground. But I've seen people now living in caves, on boats, in trees, between huge rocks...as well as RV's and houses in general...Oh, and castles of course also. I don' tknow if our kids would ever move in with us again, but this coming year will be an big change for them when she's finally out of college. Supposedly he just went back to where he was working at one time, bu tthis time in the office...it's about time as I can't think of an truck he hasn't driven....nor classes he hasn't taken to repair them, of paper work he hasn't done. 

EMP stands for "Electric Magnectic Pulse"...it takes everything off the electric grid..and could in some cases for years down the line and send us all back into the time before electricity. It's the latest kind of "military game" warring factions threaten each other with. Hopfully, like the atomic bomb...it never happens.  But I do have some data the fellas at ELRAD sent me many years ago...of them sending light pulses toward our area...esp. during political elections. It makes us older people sicker for the day so they don't feel like voting or can't due to health....while they already have brainwashed most the kids as how to vote. It gives you symptoms of Gout..heart problems, leg cramps, extreme tiredness and general nauseua. How does it affect airplanes....it takes down their electrical system...Operating computers...communications....and they go diving back to earth...and crash.  Kind of what they Mayasian airplane did....and possibly John F. Kenney, Jrs. small private plane.

 Not necessarily John, depends on if you can buy land and then subdivide it...sell out the parcels for an higher price....which pays off your mortgage. We bought our house for $20,000 less because the downstairs was unfnished...we had everything in but the sheet rocking the walls and celings...and the flooring. But it also gave us an chance to add an outside the house wall laundry chute off our master bedroom..to downstairs...and we changed the existing bathroom/utility room....we turned the pipes around through the wall and enclosed the washer and dryer with the outside laundry chute meeting above the dryer in an door opens up and comes down over the dryer when we need to sort clothes. That gave us the enitre bathroom and utilty area, into one large bathroom, with an entire wall length vanity and drawers below, and jaccuzi tub, and the toliet...and I use to have the entire area carpeted with 12 foot runner rugs with rubber backing that we cu tto size and and I could pick up and wash it also in an larger laundry near by....then J.C. Penney's stopped selling the wide runner rolls of continous carpeting...which was thick and warm in the winter time on your feet. I still used an long over piece outside the tub back then that was smaller that I could wash separately. I was forced into eventually buying  continuous rolled linoleum an dont' like it. We  also made our own small L shaped bar downstairs...and an triangle corner TV center on our own. We framed in the units and used either glass or folding shutters...to keep the same look through out the down stairs. Our bar area is lighted. Across from it are bookcases and in the middle an glass and wood octagon dinind table. Doning it outselves cost us very little money.

BTW...the laundry chute outside going down the side of the house, we used metal furnace ducting...framed it in...and finsihed off the outside with the same wood as the house has and painted it the same color, but if we ever had any problem, which we never have, we can take it apart to get into the ducting. It made an very luxuerious bathroom in it's day...and the washer and dryer on the other side got closet doors and at the end of them we slide in an built in refrigerator for extra room to store food in for parties. Then comes another little wall made out of shelf units for clothing facing the other way into our bonus room...and that's my hubby's area these days and has been for some time.  Along with it his camping equiptment, his golf set, his private papers, his desk, his bed  where he can rest while watching his sports games an get an cold beer out of the refrigerator near by.  His family pictures and his keepsakes, and awards...his books and magazines he likes to read also. It's his room. His computer is in the other room near the bar area. So the master bedroom is my turf guy's...and I don' t have half the stuff he has stored. He is gone tonight also...planning summer camp  this year at the LSD Church....and then got an call before he left that an truck came in..so he goes back to work tomarrow morning for an bit. So..I'm going to kick back and relax tonight I think as I worked all day long and it's now been 30 days of painting and yard work/garden of some kind for me and am getting worn down at bit and need some rest..basically..it's the kiddie pool now for summer..done.

Was looking over some of England's history with Robert Ogle and++the Lawson's and had such an sense of depression/sadness hit me. I was researching Lawson's in reguard to Robert Ogle and into the Bywell area...had an sudden feeling of depression/saddness....so I went over to earth boppin.net..figuring earthquake somewhere...yeah.. 3.8 off Huntington Beach...not to far from Redono....My great Aunt took us to the Huntington Library....and things I've seen an read only in books..were there in real.  Castle tapestries...Guttenburg Bible...famous Paintings like Pinkie and Blue Boy and on an on...I could of camped inside it for several weeks looking at things. She lived across from it when she was married to Peter O'Cana...whom died shortly thereafter I understand...remarked how the Peacocks that roamed the area would sometimes be in her yard and surprise her. I could tell they were happy times for her back then. Alice Mary Lawson, the first compiler of the "Lawson Letters, International" lived in Redondo, she's now passed on, but she took the information sent in to her and sent it  to the National Archives in Washington D. C.  back then.  We have had an wind all day long...to me to much of it is an ill omen. Maybe the subject of what just happened with this small quake? My kitty cat is hanging on me so badly tonight that I can hardly use the computer also. Talk to you later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

+Was kind of wondering why, so went to earthboppin and find out that

Huntington, California had an 3.8 quake slightly off shore....
I fell in love with the+ Huntington Library/Museum...my great aunt Katherine took us there when we were visiting her, her and her husband whom died lived near by it....she mentioned the roaming peacocks in the area use to surprise her in her yard from time to time.

Afternoon everyone, been busy having a clear out, where does all this stuff come from, and why do we keep things we know we're never going to use again ?

Three runs to the tip/recycling depot and we're getting somewhere Smile

We get all our recycling, food, paper, glass, tins, plastic, garden waste taken away free every week, and our wheelie bin once a fortnight. Calderdale is supposed to be one of the best for recycling in the country, we've never had a problem with them.

The stuff we've been shifting today is 21 years of clutter out of the loft space Undecided

David loves car boot sales, I hate them. We have found quite a bit of stuff that we can sell on a well known auction site though Wink
