Authority: 124
You know, where I live… deep in the armpit of the South… The Snowbirds are starting to trickle through, enroute to their migratory places “on the beaches of Miami and all points South…” to bask in the warmth of the winter sun in their million dollar buses. Okay, so I’m envious. As I see these mega-rich ...2 days ago -

Malcolm Wells – 1926 – 2009 A True Friend… especially to anyone who ever thought about Architecture… has left us. And I for one am feeling kind of hollow right now… Malcolm Wells, the veritable “Father of Underground Architecture” has left us, to go to that big drafting table in the sky. ...3 days ago -

And, like an idiot, I said; “Well… you could just put a PV on your roof to knock down your power bill.” And he looked at ...5 days ago -

Greetings! I’m hoping that you are surrounded by family (the good ones, not those mooching miscreants that just want to eat all your food, drink all your frosty cold beverages, and then borrow your car…) and that your day is filled with love, and laughter, and harmony.

Daddy, I WANNA POOL! I want it NOW! Daddy? Are you listening, Daddy? Daaaaaaady! Yes, young Jedi… It’s easy to build a lap pool from a 40′ High Cube ISBU shipping container… IF you start planning now. Note: Don’t do this if it’s already snowing outside. Playing in the snow is for kids and idiots. ...2 weeks ago -

Come and listen to a story ’bout a man named Jed… Lately, I’ve been writing about a village that’s being created out of separate ISBU segments, transformed into modules specific to fulfilling a defined task.

Greetings, Campers! Today, we’re going to answer that age old question… How do you “guerrilla” around a 9,000 pound ISBU, when you don’t have a crane?? I’m about to show you how they do it in Nicaragua. It may be ugly… it may be risky… but it works. Now, this isn’t the first ISBU ...3 weeks ago -

It’s me again… I’m like “that unruly relative who keeps showing up at the front door because my wife threw me out again, because I didn’t do nothing wrong, except get really hammered… again… and then wreck the car… again…” WAIT!

It might be – if you’re a Realtor… right about now. It’s me again… That “Corten Crusader on a Metal Mitzvah…” clad in several mils of oxidizing steel, seemingly “courting disaster… while courting your conscience.” Try saying THAT three times fast… It’s harder than trying to choke ...4 weeks ago -

I have been accused of being a “treehugger”around here, recently. Again… I’m not sure why… Sure, I write posts about saving energy. Because I have to pay for the energy I use! Well, duh!
