ditto with paintings.

2019-07-31 at 4:39 PM UTCFirst of all, it's just "right tool for the job". It means "use the tool that is right for the job".
Right tool for the job does not mean the retarded American Walmart "we have a forest of tools" brand version of the phrase.
It just means... literally don't take a pry bar to a stack of pallettes you're trying to disassemble like Low Quality Parker because you'll damage them you retard.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

You will contaminate the area and ground water which is not only wrong but illegal too
You're missing the part about a LEECH BED. It works just like any homes except smaller. It's a septic tank. The barrel collects the shit and piss and water. After it drains off into sand,and rocks and before you know it it decomposes and runs down hill. Just like any house that has a septic system. A couple years you'd need to clean it out or just replace the barrel but that's a couple years and just like any home has to have their septic pumped after 5 or 10years.
It won't contaminate anything like you're thinking. Also the way I'ma doing it it will go down hill away from me and toward the road and it'll be deep under ground. If I ever wanted to dig a well for water, it'd be fine. Just don't dig anywhere near or going down hill.
I don't want to have a shitter I have to go outside to use in the winter. It will be just like a toilet in a home and won't smell or stink. If I did decide to go with say a composting toilet then yes an out house would be what I'd do to avoid smell.
I found a place that has pallets literally right down the road from me and has a bus stop right there. Im gonna begin my project soon now I'll have money.
This winter I'll have a small home, insulated, with some way of heating that is either solar or a wood stove, and a way to charge my electronics and have light. A toilet of some measure is in the works too although that may take a while longer to complete.
I'll be able to fit a bed, small table, and small seating area. Not that I'll have anyone there but I want it to be able to snugly fit 3 people comfortable (seating wise not sleeping- I just need space for my bed) with my possessions which isn't a whole lot but enough. Im thinking 12x12x12ft (height being slanted so snow and rain can run off so highest is 12 where lowest is 8 I think would work) with a small loft for either bed or storage, however it works out best. I think sleeping in the loft may be the way to go though.. idk. I'll also put in the interior walls too so it's there for when I add a toilet. If a toilet doesn't work out then it'll be like a mud room where I can take off boots and wet clothes and leave my bags I'll be taking back out when I leave again. Also it'll help keep down on heating by making my heating area smaller.
I'd like to add windows but that may just wait until spring or when I can find or buy them cheaply. I want to make it so I can insulate and keep this place as warm and cozy as possible during winter. I also want to be able to keep it cool in the spring and summer too.
Lately because of the heat I've been sleeping in a hammock and it's been especially comfortable. I am definitely gonna have a space I can hang it in my house come winter.
What's cool is the place up the road with the pallets, they sell dry wall, boards of every length and size and all sorts of construction material I could ever need. Funnily enough, they deliver around the area and many of the trucks with deliver men give me money, food and water/gatoraids all the time. They like me. They may even be willing to help get the pallets to me since it's so close. I don't think I'll have trouble being given the pallets at least though.
Im excited about this coming together. Im really happy to be where I am at since it's so safe, large area, and secluded. It's also beautiful and I have a million dollar view of the city too.
Edit: im also gonna have a small porch with a light out front and a bench so I can sit down to remove boots, and when the weather is nice enjoy the view and stay out of the rain if it begins. Also the over hang will keep it from piling up with snow too. Im thinking just a pallets width. 4ft. And just about 8ft long. Just large enough for my purposes.
Tiny houses rock. Hell if I got a small trailer I could pull it up there and do what I'm doing on it and be able to relocate it if I wanted. -

Dude, the city is beautiful, especially at night. I think as far as large metropolitan cities go, Baltimore has the prettiest skyline of all on the east coast. I think it's better than New York, Chicago, Atlanta or anywhere else. Miami might be better just because it's in a tropical environment and haspalm trees and is warm year round pretty much, but as far as northern cities go, Baltimore is the prettiest IMO.
I will always be fond of the country and a country girl but I try to see the silver lining and appreciate what I have, not cry over what I don't. I have a small piece of nature and the woods and also the beauty of the city skyline. I'm my situation I couldn't ask for more. People pay millions for what I get to look at every night. My location is perfect. -

Tch, nigga fuck you. All your life choices are the best possible choices ever because you rationalize yourself into believing that.
You should just cut out all the bullshit and try to get an abandoned shipping container and use pallets to accent that.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Lmao you've never seen beauty. Baltimore is one of the dullest places in the US. There's a reason why this is where they set 'The Wire'

Originally posted by hydromorphone I guess you missed where I've posted about being disabled. I worked all my life up until I got hurt badly with my leg, and now have issues walking, especially with any speed. I have no stamina. I also have other health issues that would have been enough for SSID prior to my leg injury/chronic osteomyelitis. It takes time, especially when the nursing home did jackshit in filing what they were supposed to file before I was discharged and I didn't find out until I got discharged.
I'm doing the best I can until then. Most of this project is only possible because I have someone with a pickup truck who is willing to help me, along with a few other able bodied people who are versed in handyman sort of work, who are capable and willing to help me.
It's going to take me time to get into a "real" house. For now, this is the best I got going for me.
Its a thing on cali. But make sure you close it off with athe boards of a broken down pallet. Or its fuel for some dickheads who may not see u in there and decide to have a bon fire.. Youre safer in a tent or make a fox hole house -
2019-08-03 at 12:38 AM UTCIRL Minecraft is pretty hardcore. But i suppose you can just steal your materials or make everything from wood. I bet if you could build a forge and make nails from scrap metal you'd have a nice source of building materials in the woods.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
