Green Acre: The 40 yr old Mobile Gets a Green Re-Do

[waterwart]

They never said anything about costs for the electrical and plumbing & the foundation work. So what did they do there?-just leave the old crap in there? Old plumbing and old wiring is not good.

[jbrando70]

been a little over four years, have you completed the paper crete on the outside? Like to see a followup and what are your plans for the roof?

[sklarm]

@jbrando70 We built 600' of papercrete fence and a battery dome for our PV Solar system. We ended up just painting the trailer white to reflect heat and building some shade for the shipping containers.

Along with producing some of our building materials and almost all of our electricity we also make our own fuel, food, and have 1200 gallons of rain water tanks.

@jsklarm Thanks I have seen several of your videos you two are fun to watch. So, the home is functioning well enough in its white paint the plan stops there? Shade trees are great, then you can still get solar gain in the winter.

i'm inspired! iam a single mother of two and my mobile is falling apart

[zekehooper]

why would you put a chip in your hand???? I read about that somewhere and it culmanated with the end of the world. I'm fine with that, this sick planet needs a "re-do" any how. But seriousely, why put a chip in your hand???

[sklarm]

Know your enemy. Seriously, how do we expect to ever defeat RFID proliferation without a thorough understanding of how it works. A implant isn't absolutely necessary, but it shows a commitment to understanding how RFID tags work.

[zekehooper]

That's true. But couldn't you do that with out putting it in your body? Maybe in a "Credit Card" type thing on your key chain?

I know there is nothing to fear from an RFID chip, but the thought of something like that in my body just dosen't do it for me. But, Brovo for you doing it. But any lock you use is only for the trust worthy person any way. A crook will always find a way around a security device if they REALLY want to.

[sklarm]

Nope, the implant is critical for press manipulation. Nobody will listen if I am waiving a tag around in my wallet.

You are right about a crook finding a way around any security device. I agree. RFID is not secure, neither is your home dead bolt or car. Pretty much all things we rely on for personal security are a joke.

[jbluntfingers]

wtf u did a good job but a chip lolin your body lol

[IamMeredithK]

ha! mine's 43! (almost 44)

[bitemypillow]

who would break into that crap?:"

[mokuni]

damn that so fucking cool, i have been wanting to do this exact same thing, i live in missouri and iam looking to get a really shitty 16x80 and just redo the whole thing while trying to salvage most of what would be in the place, all it takes is a little imagination and some elbow grease, and you take it from there, just like these people did.

[cdimmm]

RF chip in your hand? Do yourself a favor and get that NWO tool out of your body.

[elleanor07]

your cool!!  good minds!! smart minds!

[musthavejava]

Most inspiring...a wonderful blueprint for what others can (and perhaps should) do. I'd take this over a site built house in Subdivision Hell any day of the week. Absolutely amazing job guys!

[mikwid]

Very cool. The future requires people to think this way. Thanks for the share D! These people are inspiring. Namaste

[dance497]

Do you think your way of thinking may have stopped the current mortgage crisis?!

[mizery79]

thanks guys...i am working on doing this myself...i think i have pretty much got it planned out...yea...solar and gray water...anyways, thanks for posting... :)

[hulih20]

Great job guys. We gave up our 30 year mobile for an Insulated Concrete Home. For the same cost so far.

[IrishBadBoyCA]

OMG - this is great - I'm dying to get out of LA. I've been looking at land in AZ but it's remote. What do you do to make money to live on out there??

[moxee33]

Nice job and very inspiring! I really love the oval 60's bar :O)

[spellbox]

[FluxRostrum]
