 It's not my fault. It was broken. It was broken. It was not my- So This week everyone was sick me too and That was because we had some visitors visit these two young ladies and like the third day one of them woke up totally sick and then we were like oh Crap Now the good thing about the whole quarantine situation is that during that quarantine and and what's it called the pandemic thing like no people showed up sick We still had visitors and no one showed up sick And way back for that You know like years ago This didn't happen when I used to live in Vermont because people would just drive there in their own cars But ever since we moved to Central America like whenever we got visitors They generally have recently been in an airplane or a bus just packed in with people and just sick coughing on each other and everything So people like half the time we got visitors by like the second or third day They'd wake up and just be throwing up or whatever and then we'd be like oh crap now We're all gonna get knocked out for like a week So we implemented our own Quarantine which worked great and we just basically told people hey You just came in an airplane or a bus just you know hold off on the hugs We just just kind of pay attention for a couple days and keep your distance and If they started puking that by the third day, we'd just be like oh good good thing. We weren't like all snuggly That actually worked pretty well, but during the during the whole Pandemic situation, I guess we slacked off on that. Hey, we're gonna have to read read. Hey, don't turn around naked, baby All right, there you go we're gonna have to re-initiate our Quarantine situation for when visitors come and Just like lock them in a room for like two days before they can before they can snuggle anyone or say hi or whatever So we what do you think we got anyway? We got the flu I think maybe was COVID-19 I don't know anyway We got sick and pretty much everyone's just been knocked out for like a week I'm mostly feeling better now still kind of tired though. Whoa careful I'm gonna kick some some kids out here because it's fighting Hey you guys go downstairs. I'm starting the thing now. Okay, so Some people think some of these illnesses have been manufactured And I don't know about that, but I do know about The idea that you could have biological weapons in the first place was was something that was thought up by a smart person and then dumb people got the idea and Hey stop doing that and Then dumb people got the idea and because smart people figured out how to do it and dumb people Got the instructions of how to do it. They did dumb things with things like that And I would say in general a lot of the problems in our world right now are Because smart people are teaching dumb people how to do things like How to make nuclear bombs for example like the people who figured out how to make nuclear bombs They weren't like oh, we should blow up like 2,000 of these now that was the dumb people who didn't figure it out Who got a hold of it and we're like, okay You mean if I do this and this and this then I can make a big boom when I mash this button Let's do it a couple thousand times and then The guy who invented TV He was concerned that The TV could be used to just pump out stupid entertainment and make people dumber But he was hoping of course that it would get used to To help educate people to spread information and you know teach people things better, you know be used for communication So he was he was he was even aware of the problem usually the people who come up with these ideas The smart people who figure things out. They know there's a problem And it's not until the dumb people come along that they actually do the problem Guy who invented plastic bags He He would carry a plastic bag around in his pocket because he was like wow, this is great Look, I can have this little tiny thing I can fold it open and have this big bag to carry your stuff around whatever I want and he was totally aware of that You know if you use these one time and throw them away. They'll become a you know an environmental hazard So he made them to be reusable over a long period of time Of course, then the stupid people got it and we're like, oh, okay if I follow the instructions I can make these plastic bags and Oh, I can make him really cheap if I make him real thin In which case they rip the first time use them and then we'll just keep throwing them out and throwing them out and Throwing them out and making mountains of garbage so it's just like so many examples of this of of Smart people figure and stuff out and and totally knowing the downside of their inventions and Just like teaching dumb people how to do it knowing that dumb people are gonna use a wrong And all these smart people are doing this so they can get their names in some book and some picture and some thing that says great contribution to humanity and I think man smart people you gotta like lay off Quit teaching quit teaching all the dumb people how to do stuff because they've been the dumb people are not using it Right. They're definitely not using it right That's about all I have to say about that What else am I talking about today? Apparently Joseph's family got some kind of flu crud two Sundays ago just now recovering That sounds like us because we got it like two Sundays two Sundays ago. What this is a Sunday. So that makes it two weeks ago. Yeah, I Think I've been It didn't start until Monday the girl but still I Have been sick like basically for a week First first I got a headache The headache day was who was the worst Anyway, I got a headache One day and then the next day the headache was was like subsiding and then gone And then I was kind of thinking oh, maybe I feel better now, but then I've just been like tired for like the last few days So I think I'm starting to feel like I have a little more energy now Although I could just be getting used to it. So maybe I'm I don't know I think it's I think it's probably a combination of getting used to it and I'm actually getting better so I should be okay soon, which is a good thing because all my Roofing materials are in town right now And I need to go get them as soon as the weather is okay, man. We got some bad weather coming up this week Hey, no yelling So like to go get stuff from town I need some Reasonably okay weather mostly not tons of wind because tons of wind makes tons of waves and If I'm carrying a lot of cargo on the boat, which I will be when I go get all this roof stuff Then you know, it's all gonna get splashed with salt water And I don't want that to happen because I have more than just the roofing stuff The roofing stuff wouldn't be that bad if it got wet, but there's some other stuff in there, too Anyway, hopefully I can go get that on Wednesday or something. I don't know sometime this week We'll see and then I have to figure out how to do this this roof I've been talking about and I'm thinking I should take my camera with me when I go get the stuff and I'll just start a start some roofing videos then I've been slacking off on the videos for the last week because Well, I've just been kind of sick and not doing that much and then before that I was mostly just Coming over to DeShana's Island and getting stuff and taking it home Because I want to clear out the rest of my stuff from here Because I can't take it here anymore and mostly because DeShana wants my crap gone What are you doing? Who are you talking to? What are you texting them? I'm gonna look So the other thing that this sickness is it's like Well, my muscles are kind of tight and my back's all like It's like a full of knots Not knots like I've been even like not even like I've been working hard or anything It's just like those annoying knots, you know like a knot right in the middle of my backwards like Yeah, so I apologize if I'm all over the place today I'm just kind of feeling a little bit a little bit zonked out. Hey, don't pull on that Why don't you come over here and tell me what's going on Hey I'm gonna back this up a little bit So how's everybody else doing today? Hopefully everyone else isn't sick and dying, you know one cool thing about this this sickness thing is It made me like rest for a week, which I think is a good thing Because I haven't stopped to smell the flowers in a while and uh I can't smell anything so Good thing Yeah Yeah, you know for a while I you know, I'm I'm always feeling like I'm not getting enough done or whatever and then when I when I stopped and You know spent a week just chilling and Relaxing, you know, I got a chance to look it around And be like, well, I'm actually doing all right. I got a pretty cool house made. I got I got more and more plants growing Oh, so a few weeks. Oh, I don't know like a month ago. Whenever I planted a bunch of trees, right? And I mentioned at some point that two of them weren't doing very well Well, those two are now growing little like Like most of the most of the tree like died kind of as soon as I put it in but now Stuff's coming growing out of the bottom. So yeah, they're totally alive and growing So every tree I planted in that one video where I planted a bunch of trees. They're all growing and alive and doing well and And the two the two worst ones are just starting to grow little things from the bottom, but uh Most of the rest of them are like, you know, growing all kinds of new leaves and stuff, which is great And the cherry tree is doing very well, you know, the pump current the pumpkin cherry Yeah, okay. Keep that keep that baby out of our thing or youtube will ban us I don't know So what are you going on there? Well, apparently like I said, Joseph's family was all sick And apparently tomatoes family everybody got covid except him and he's been tested three times He never got it. You know, yeah, you know, it's kind of annoying like So during the quarantine everyone I mean they they they just went overboard and locked everyone in their houses for like a year and a half, right? He said don't stare at him So, you know, we went to one from to one extreme where everyone gets locked in their houses for like a year and a half and now Now other people are kind of relaxed. We're going back to the old extreme, which is like, oh, I'm sick I don't care. I'll just go out and cough on everyone and now just, you know, it's gonna go back to normal. Okay. Can we just like Be not the stupid people. Can we just be not the stupid people and not spread everything around? Like when you get sick just just stay home and don't go cough on everyone and don't spread it everywhere because man I mean, I think that's the tricky thing is that like these two main things are Asymptomatic for a few the funniest thing about disheina is since she got sick. She's not been able to say a full sentence Anyway What do you think? Oh, you mean you don't get symptoms for a while and then you get people sick before you get the symptoms That's not what i'm talking about though, obviously I'm talking about the people who are sick and they know they're sick And they're just like, well, I've already got it. So who cares and then they go out and just don't care who else they get sick And You know, this all comes back to How I think we need to have a a society based on morality not on laws because you know, there's just People are just being so selfish and you know self-centered and greedy and not caring about anyone else And it just it's just makes everyone's lives more difficult There's no reason that all their lives have to be so difficult like we have enough real problems without making them up But still people want to make up problems. So whatever Hey, say a sentence So one of your fans john schlick has been Glazing custom tiles and he mixed a special color to match some things and is now going on to painting clouds In varying shades of blue Before firing those tiles. Well, that sounds awesome. Yeah Wait, he's I want to see pictures of these john So john has like a kiln and everything and he's doing it or does he do it at a place or what's the story? He'll answer that question. John. We need more information. Yeah, we want to know about your operation Speaking of tiles a friend of ours, you might remember bobby Bobby Stutz. Okay. Yeah She posted on this with the other day these really pretty little tiles that she did with mosaic smaller tiles and they're like ocean themes Oh, nice. Very nice. Very nice. So I want to make more tiles with all that clay we have around Oh, actually the girls recently Went and dug up a bunch of clay and made all these a gray kind Brown like terracotta They uh, they made a bunch of beads and like little doll plates and stuff And we fired a few of them and they came out really good. No no cracks or anything so I'm gonna have to yeah I want to do more clay stuff. Of course, I have like so much on my plate. So, you know, I need to finish my roof first and Make my second and third floors I I did start thinking about, uh How to make a lumber mill recently I'm gonna try to get a parts list together or start putting a few things together and then Apparently john has his own kiln And he's reading a bathroom at a rental property that he has. Nice. Oh, that's cool. Yeah So john we need to see pictures of this These tiles because they sound very pretty. You make email them to us. Do you make videos of them or anything? Yeah, that would be cool. That would be really interesting. Um Apparently jason has arrived so we can start. Oh, okay. Uh, hold on. Let's let's start again Oh gosh, it's on it's on. Oh, we're started. Oh, okay. Um, so what are we talking about this week? Oh, I don't know jason's arrived So we'll just have to find out what he wants to talk about. Well, jason's here then then we can start So everyone's been sick this week. Yeah And i'm not gonna make a ton of sense because my brains are still swimming a lot A little Yeah, john says he's not been making videos because he's too busy making stuff. That's good. That's the best reason You know, that's actually when i'm when i make the fewest videos is when i'm too busy making stuff He doesn't say he's a girl Yeah, grabby's gonna take it off You need to tie it in the back. Wait i'm happy with that Oh Anyway moving on so Um, astral economics wants to know what's your opinion? I like the little warning signs by the way. That's cute. That's my attention Um, what's your opinion on living in civilization or on your own private island? Yeah, well, obviously I want to live on a private island and when they talk about civilization I feel like I live in a much more civilized place than like Like people in a city or something. Why don't you guys go downstairs or something? Can you come up and guide some little people down? It's like a madhouse here today because like There's four sick kids still Well, I think she's okay. She's not sick. No, two of them are okay. Yeah, that one was running laps around the house yesterday So I think he's good Yeah, well, she's no the two older girls Uh, I keep asking them how they feel and they're like, I'm fine and then I'll look and they'll be like laying on the floor Like this Yeah, I'm good. Everything's fine. I feel great, but they're not normally laying on the floor all the time Oh, apparently john recently just snuggled this baby come on waterproofed a vault roof I think don't do that. Um Well, I think her parents didn't me the orange thing that that's the issue right now Is that she just wants her fabric back? Well, whatever it is. Can we fix it? Um He used Sica Sica top 107 amazing stuff. It's concrete workable travel 116th inch coat on and boom waterproof. Boom Zoop-zoop Are you thinking of building how much would this cost to cover like Uh, like oh my god, I can't do enough right now A 40 foot diameter dome whatever Um, the next question is are you still thinking of building a track gymnasium on your off the floor? Do you want to talk about that? Yes This one may go short this week just so you know But uh, yeah, I still want to I still want to make a running track on the second floor So on the first floor of my house The she is like She's got like two kids just like let's go. We're going downstairs Just dragging them like like screaming footballs Oh, it's so funny. Anyway So I still want to do the same thing that I Was was on my original plan, which is kind of unusual often my my plan changes after you know after I start going But this one I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do with my house before And it's still the same So I got my first floor concrete my second floor is just going to be like An eight foot wide track all the way around the outside which leaves the Oh something big space in the middle So it'll be like from the first floor There's a really high ceiling in the middle part But then a running track around the outside and it'll be banked probably like 30 degrees on the on the end Just like the the last I don't know maybe the last foot like enough that I could run along it At an angle And then the third floor just floor all the way across for to make a gymnasium And I have these three king-sized mattresses like big fat king-sized mattresses in my house right now They're going to go up on the third floor. So, you know, you can do flips and land on them and stuff And I have also been thinking about getting like a gymnastics floor up there And because I have the uh The steel pipe frame up in the ceiling I can hang ropes and And uh, I think yeah, it'll just be like lots of fun jungle gym stuff I'm still not sure how I'm doing the stairs To get up and down though But I know I definitely want to have multiple ways of getting up and down Like there's going to be a rope climb obviously That you can climb from the first floor all the way up to the third floor Well up to the the ceiling of the of the third floor And then uh, I want to have a slide that comes down which I guess you could run back up to And then there's probably going to be a couple different ladders or something And there might be a normal thing of stairs somewhere I'm not sure But uh Yeah, I think stairs are not the most most important thing I I want to make sure there's multiple ways to go though Because you know when you're kids and you're running around the house You have to have multiple ways to go to to evade the other kids So if you're on the third floor hiding from your sister and she starts climbing up one ladder Then you go to the other end of the house and start climbing down that one You gotta have different ways to go and then you know, you can escape going down the slide Except every kid's gonna be like oh, they're gonna escape down the slide So I'm gonna Stand where the rope is and I can swing down to the bottom of the slide to intercept them So yeah, I want to have lots of different ways to get up and down and everything But then on the on the second floor where there's the running track I don't need an eight-foot wide running track eight feet is like two and a half meters So maybe the the outer half Will be running track and then the inner half will just be like different rooms So there's 12 12 different slots Spokes whatever you want to call them Pizza slices 12 different spots where I can put Well, at least a couple of them are probably gonna have to be Lego zones And for the Lego zones, I'll just have to make sure there's a little wall So all the Lego's not falling off one of the first floor all the time And then maybe some drawing sections I think that would be a great a great spot to have like drawing and stuff like that And then I don't know lots of 12 different things. Maybe some little kid bedrooms up there or something And then I can get a bunch of stuff off the first floor because it's a little crowded right now But yeah, I can just have like tools on one side of the first floor and like living stuff on the other side And I think the thing I'm most looking forward to is just like the third floor totally open Floor like nothing in the middle because it's you know, it's got the dome roof doesn't need any posts or anything And it's big enough that we'll be able to play frisbee across there and stuff. Oh, that's gonna be great I can play catch, you know And of course we'll do that stuff like out on the island too, but I mostly want to have that big that big open floor Can still have space to to play run around and You know play catch and stuff like that. Oh, that's gonna be so cool. Still a lot of work though I gotta get this I gotta get this roof done Which I'm not sure how long it's gonna take A month or two, I don't know Like I could see it taking less than a month, but I could also see it taking more than a month just Depending on how it goes. I'm gonna I'm gonna hope for less than a month But whatever I'm gonna do whatever I need to do to get this roof done and I should make it waterproof like for For a super long time Oh, and the reason I'm not using Well, like what the guy was suggesting a little earlier. What was it the seca flex? Well, I don't know how much would that even cost that would I was gonna tell you what he said Yeah, yeah, I know Okay So um he says It's got a polymer in it and it's two coats. They rated as waterproof with 16 feet of hydraulic head meaning it's waterproof But it yeah, yeah, water 16 feet um Let's see I said something else in here. I'm just fine. Uh, okay, you won't like the cost It's about a dollar per square foot But you can get it down to 75 cents if you buy a number of the kids um, yeah, I would be like My brains are not on the surface of a 40 foot dome is about 10,106 square feet. Well, there you go 10,000 dollars I don't have 10,000 dollars to spend on this one. Actually, that was how much it would cost to fiberglass it with epoxy Yeah, a cheaper alternative to the seca top is to add side packs to it. Anyway, it doesn't matter I'm not I'm not I'm not just putting a coating on because if there's a crack in the roof It's gonna open up and the coating is gonna open up it's gonna let water in right like and I'm not it's already waterproof Wherever there's zero cracks Like that's not an issue Like I want to this is why I want to make these dragon scale roof tiles So they can shift move around a little bit if a if a like a little hairline crack opens up under one It's the tile is still gonna be there. So it's still gonna be waterproof, you know So the guy who asked about the living on an island versus um, oh, yeah civilization said that he's Can we get car canyon outside or something? What is going on? Could you please put him outside? Thank you Okay, I think he's still sick because he doesn't get like that unless he's like really tired So my goal within the next year is to buy a private island and your videos have inspired me It helped me out so much not to mention the live videos are a hundred times better And then he's asking if it's possible to tour it while you're recording. Um, we're actually at my house right now He has done a couple tours like now. I did think about getting starlink at my house not Now I don't want internet at my house. I really like Uh, not having I really like just being present, you know, whatever I'm at my house And I'm trying to think of what to do There's no like well, you could just go on the internet and just you know Just click on some just one or two things and then like six hours later. It's like oh there goes like a whole day, you know Not that I ever let it go happen that bad or anything but um apparently in tomatoes just um gifted five jamie mansel memberships Who to who well he gave one to vasco zu juice. Oh cool. I don't even know what that means Yeah, apparently you can gift I wanted I I didn't actually finish what I was saying earlier about No, I was okay today like we're all sick and everything's gonna be all over the place and that's just sorry um But yeah, the guy who was asking about civilization versus living on an island And I feel like my island is much more civilized than any city. I've ever been in like they call Maybe maybe we need to redefine the the term civilization or just establish the definition but like Yeah What what does it dictionary say? I don't care. Anyway, I feel like like most of the world that people talk about being civilized is very uncivilized like Total lack of freedom Yeah, you can't do you can't like build a shed on your your own property without your neighbors Complaining and then getting the police to come and make you tear it down for a little bit. Yeah. Yeah And like here I can I can do things that make sense and it's just Yeah, the idea that that Living in the wilderness is less civilized. It's I don't know. It just doesn't make sense um, although I understand that is the standard way of talking about things but uh man Yeah, I couldn't live in a city now just because of the the massive lack of freedom and dude if you want to live on a private island Oh, I I totally recommend it is awesome You just have to be prepared for Well, you say you have to be prepared you have to be the right kind of person like just living off grid in general I talked about this a little bit last week Oh, my brains are remembering things. That's good But I talked a little bit about this last week about how Living off the grid is like the ultimate no instructions lifestyle, you know Like if you're the kind of person who goes and buys something and gets a home And there's like a big instruction book and you read the whole instruction book before you even get the thing out Living off grid might not be the thing for you But if you're like the kind of person who gets a home and you're like Ah instructions forget that and you just want to figure it out and do your own thing Yeah, living off the grid is great for that because like when you're in a city, you can't do your own thing You try to do your own thing You end up getting fined and arrested and yelled at and all this crap You know living in a city in the civilization Yeah, if you're not if you're not coloring between the lines You're just in big trouble and uh Yeah, when you live off grid It's I guess it's good for some people and bad for some people like I love it because I get to wake up every morning and say what can I do to make my life better? And and then I I get to figure it out You know I get to think of just anything like I can think of anything that I want that I could that I could make There or life just in general for me and the people around me better And that's what I love about it and um the thing that really Gets some people stuck Is just the amount of responsibility That puts on you. So when you wake up and you're like You know, what can I do to make my life better? You're taking responsibility for your environment your actions for the the place like you're just taking responsibility for everything around you And if you don't want to have any responsibility just just stay in the city, you know Just get a get a normal job. That's you know a pre-made where you just show up do your do your time and You know nine to five you get your paycheck and you know where you're getting and you go to the store and buy your food And you know, you just go through these dumb little steps Which some people wouldn't think is dumb, but to me it's just it would just be like unbelievably tedious to go through all that But if you want easy life do that If you're if you like challenges and you actually enjoy Doing doing things that are hard and putting effort into things. Yeah, do do the off-grid deal and um I It's it's also kind of a hard thing to explain because I've had several people come here with the intention of Moving here and I always tell them well come and you know, just check it out for a week or two first But sometimes people are like no no i'm coming and that's it The most of the time People come and within a day or two. They're just like I can't handle it. How do you deal with this? You know and uh And it's like the kind and I've tried to explain You know how things work and they watch my videos and like all the information is there It's just it's just so far outside of their world view that until they're actually confront it in reality It doesn't make any sense Yeah, I think I rambled on enough about that. I don't know sure what i'm talking about I stole the shana's tablet here. Let's see what she's talking about Oh my gosh, what is this? Oh, is it possible to tour the island? Yeah, you know, I was Kind of considering getting a repeater like to send the internet from here over to my island But the problem is if I do that then It's like once the once the door is open Then I'm just gonna have the internet there all the time and even if I tell the shana, okay Just just turn it on Like once a week on sunday and I'll do a live from my island or something then I you know I'm always gonna know that at any point in time just radio or and say hey Dishonor, can you turn the internet on because I need to waste, you know three hours of my life right now? um So I I I think I really just want to leave my house with no internet Oh, yeah fire pole someone mentioned a fire pole Yes, I also want to have fire pole going From the third floor down to the first floor that'll be fun and uh Okay, so on the second floor of my house when I was talking about making the racetrack around the outside So that the inside will just be a big open thing And there are two poles holding up the third floor there And see all the chats and you have to refresh it sometimes. Oh, yeah, I was wondering why no one said anything for like 20 minutes or whatever So there's two two poles right in the middle holding up the third floor And that's just gonna be out in a big space and a really tall thing and the two poles are Actually pieces of a mast from a sailboat and I was thinking of giving the kids Those poles and maybe attaching a couple pieces of something and tell them they can make like a tree house up there and then say Let me think well say I've got the circle Then I can have like one bridge that goes right through the middle and their tree house would be right in the middle So from the second floor you could like go across a little bridge and get to like a kids Kids clubhouse and then go back or go across the bridge to the other end. I think that would be totally awesome I would love that when I was a kid and then they could have their their hangout A few minutes ago Krikanen just needed some hugs snuggles some snuggles. Yeah Yeah, I was running around. Oh good. I think this is resetting Um, somebody would like to know let's see Oh The guy that Was talking about moving to an island He wants to know is it better to learn how to build air creed homes or shipping container homes? On his own along with learning how to install a septic so that he can purchase an island that's not developed to save big I think that's all preference. Yeah, whatever you want um I guess it also depends on the environment because like a container would not really do so well Well, there are some there. There are some people around here using shipping containers um Do they make stainless steel shipping containers? I wouldn't want a shipping container unless it was stainless steel And I understand they coat them with nice paint and everything but you know paint always ends up with scratches or holes and then you get a rest eventually and Um, I like to try to do things as long term as possible. So I mean, that's why I'm doing it so much with concrete um And just because you know concrete lasts really long but uh Yeah, I don't know. It's whatever whatever you want to do and then you have to think about Can you get shipping containers? I mean, obviously you can you can you know Charter a chinook Helicopter if you have enough money and give them the airlift pretty much anything anywhere, but Like getting a shipping container here would be would be quite an ordeal Um, I don't think it would be worth it um I'm pretty I'm really happy with the styrocrete that I've been doing the styrofoam concrete stuff partly because it uses up What would otherwise be just a mountain of garbage? And also it insulates really well It's uh, it's a little bit flexible So where concrete would crack the styrocrete can kind of stretch and bend a little bit and uh And because it's lightweight it doesn't put so much pressure on the clay here Toe says that tow mators. Yeah, he used to work on shipping containers and they don't last very long Oh, well, there you go. He says shipping containers don't last so Um, he says that they own an aluminum shipping container. Oh, that's cool. Is it like Aluminum aluminium that's gonna last or will it like this because like You know, it depends on what the alloy is John christman says shipping containers remain from a formulation of steel that forms an oxide layer that prevents more oxidation Well, I mean that's any iron or steel will rust and make a Uh coating that's it doesn't really it doesn't protect it forever. I mean it just brings up a good point He says every home will have its own set of challenges. That is true. That is a good point You're never gonna come up with the perfect We were talking about like what is the thing you could use that has like the least amount of maintenance and if you made a stainless steel house, but then the sun is gonna make it Yeah, so you gotta yeah Yeah, so But the like just yeah just in terms of all that stuff the styrocrete Is really good I wouldn't say it's you know without any flaws, but it is it's pretty good in terms of the building material Or just concrete in general but concrete the the the downside of regular concrete is just it's so heavy And if you don't need that massive amount of compressive strength Then the styrocrete is great. So if you can find some garbage styrofoam Um, so abracca abracca. I'm not pronouncing it correctly. I'm sure Is that like Not a person who talked about the railway idea. Okay. What's that last time? Anyway, they say, oh, you know I do have to make a railway for when I make a lumber mill So what's going on about? They would like to know have you heard of earth ships before they're the buildings built in the soil using some Yes cycled material and an interesting design philosophy Mike Reynolds So there's a movie you can watch it for free on youtube at least last I checked And the movie is called garbage warrior I that was a little bit of inspiration for when I made my movie. I was when I was making my movie I was like, I hope it's kind of like this movie garbage warrior You know, it's not going into theaters or anything But it's like out there free on youtube and people will occasionally watch it and be like wow I learned something and that was good Anyway In this movie I've spoken about this before in this movie garbage warrior It talks about mike reynolds and he's the guy who started the you know earth ships And basically he's just you know, uh building experimental houses And what people talk about earth ships now is kind of a Watered-down standardized, you know, governmentally accepted version And But like the original thing is like he was very experimental figuring out just trying all kinds of different things and just figuring out what works and uh He started getting into legal trouble because he was making these amazing homes That grew their own food like people people could live in these homes Grow their own food and just like and have their own water and like everything was self-contained They didn't have to go anywhere or spend any money and You know the man doesn't like it when you're not spending money. So they went after him like pretty hardcore and The second half of the movie is just so depressing. It's just him going into like Uh, what was it congress or something? I don't know. I don't remember what any of his political garbage There's some political place where there's like, you know, a thousand politicians all Wasting each other's time On Arizona, right? Maybe new mexico. Yeah He just got crapped on so bad and they just Permits and all what they required him to do and he was spending ridiculous amounts of money Like putting a big official road in because I needed him have a road as soon as he gets that down They're just like, oh, here's 20 other things you have to do and it didn't matter And then finally he goes into what is the political thing the political others can't call it the big political Garbage building whatever the government office place where they have all the talking the hot. No, it's that whatever Yeah, that's a matter. Okay. This is a giant room where all the the Politicians waste all the tax money and everyone's time anyway, he He worked with this lady who is a politician Doing all this all this stuff to try to get him permission just to have like a little Experimental zone set aside where he could build some experimental homes so he could at least Make him even though no one can really live in him Which is pathetic. I mean, that's this not it's It's not it's not what he's it's not what he was really doing But he was like, well, maybe I can at least get that he apparently lost his architect license too. Yeah Yeah, I mean they just they just crapped on this guy so bad and this goes back to what I was saying at the beginning smart people Figuring things out are getting oh trashed by the dumb people so Oh, yeah, so He managed to convince this lady to help him go around and get all these politicians to agree to You know vote for his thing and then they just filibustered him Which basically is they just talked endlessly And wasted time So they'd been out of time during the day and then they couldn't get to his thing And oh just just watching this movies like just oh it's like just sucked the energy out of my heart And I was like that was one of the That was kind of one of the final straws, you know seeing that For leaving the united states I mean I was already pretty much set that we were leaving the us and we had to go somewhere else But after I watched that I was like oh, yeah, I am totally making the right decision. We need to get out of here and the funny thing is So he's he's in the united states He's getting just crapped on like basically treated like a like a criminal like like he's a murderer or rapist or something and Then in I don't remember it was Haiti or cuba or something. I don't remember where it was There's some hurricane or monsoon or something and all these houses got wrecked And he goes over there with a bunch of his friends and they start building Houses and he's just like well, we'll use whatever building materials are here and then he's a huge hero so it's like It's like you take like this unbelievably smart useful intelligent imaginative guy And you put him in a place with too much government and he's just he's just a criminal, you know And then you put him in a place where Where he can actually accomplish things where where things make sense And and he's he's a hero and this is what I what i'm saying about civilized versus not civilized what's more civilized like Allowing a guy you don't even have to make him do it like he just wants to do this Like he's this is his passion. He's interested in this He wants to go and make houses and and you know make it so people can have this good quality of life What's more civilized to to shut him down and just bury him in paperwork and legal fees and just like throw him in jail Or let him let him make life better To me, it's more civilized to let him do the thing, you know, and that's why Why we ended up moving to a place more like, you know, where the guy was a hero You know, we're living in central america. There's words In this area people just do their thing people are living their lives. There's not a lot of government You know oversight or control around here because just I mean, there's not enough going on for anyone to care They don't there's no there's not enough money involved here for anyone to get involved like way of Controlling people like they can oh there's it could be done No, but they I mean if they wanted to they could show up with the police and shoot you I mean, there's stuff they can do is not like they Well in town, yeah, but i'm just saying it doesn't matter where you are There's something the government can do whatever the hell they want because they you know They steal all the all the money from people and they just use that That resource to turn everyone against whoever they want You know you paying them to fight you basically, I mean, that's how I felt when I was in the united states I felt like I was I was paying taxes to fund an army that was against me You look so much tanner than I do You're pale Yeah, I think i'm getting the color back I still look a little bit a little bit zonked out in case anyone missed it. We've been sick all week Oh my six pack is amazing though. It's so sexy. Oh Because I didn't eat for like days. I mean I ate just not that much John christen says that he's been to the earth's ship homestead in New Mexico south of tow And it is pretty cool. Yeah, um, and then he has a question Just imagine how much more cool stuff that guy could have figured out if they just let him keep doing it Like uh, he just didn't have enough money to force them What i'm just saying like that seems to be the way to who didn't have enough government Like if you have enough money, oh, you mean you pay off people a billion dollars To stop bothering you eventually You can't out money the government The government they're getting they're taking money from you and 300 000 other people I mean presuming you're in the united states. We're just here where he was You can't out money them. You also can't out military them. They have the biggest military. They have the most money You can't fight them. I mean there there were time most through most of history You could fight back but you know In recent more recent years when kings and lords or whatever Had just accumulate too many resources. There's there's no way to fight back against him. You can't do anything So apparently he can build legally now Yeah, there's can too But can but can uh, can people live in his things but and here's the thing He's got like a basic blueprint of a Earthship which is a standardized thing which is totally it defeats the point of what he was doing in the first place which was having which was being able to be experimental, you know to To try new things once you once you take that experimental process and you standardize it It's you lose You you lose any more progress. You just stuck there and it's great that he got things to that point But if he could have kept Trying things I mean maybe So chris would like to know are those internal flying buttresses for your cathedral? Yes, they're internal flying buttresses buttresses Buttresses Yeah, it's too bad. Oh lots on the father you turn back But plants love Gatorade but plants I thought it was brahndo But plants love brahndo because it's got electrolytes It's what plants crave, but how do you know that it's good for plants? Well, it's got what plants crave How do you know that because it's got what plants crave You don't know anything What you want to drink out of that toilet like a dog You feed babies water like out of the toilet Oh, we're I'm quoting the movie idiocracy in case anyone missed that great movie It's great how how well it illustrates the direction that our Our current society is going or is Yeah, and the funny thing is like the more years go by the less extreme that movie seems I remember when it came out We watched the movie and be like oh ha ha that's hilarious That's so ridiculous and over the top and then like 10 years later. It's like That's so That's pretty much what's happening Um, let's see. Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you Oh, yeah, brahndo the thirst annihilator Yeah, what's up? So yeah, um, do you this is steve vest was saying that ila musk is one of the people that can fight back He became the richest man in the world by simply recognizing what could be done That isn't stupid like paying billions for a rocket to fly once I mean Yeah, but then he wants to stick microchips in everyone. So then it's like, well I don't I don't know. I don't I don't know enough about ila musk to make any kind of uh judgment calls there But there are definitely some red flags. Do you guys ever find useful stuff floating in the ocean? Oh, yeah, I found a tennis ball on the way here this morning Tonight I didn't try playing a game. No, I wanted a roar to throw it for the dog She won't go after it. She won't go after it. I can train her to go after a ball I'm just saying she won't just go get the ball. She like looks at it and it's just like Like down the wharf she walks right behind me But when the kids walk down the wharf, they like she like tramples her feet and runs in front of them or behind them and like Well, they're like for people. Yeah, I'm just like dog Now and she's like She shakes for me. I'm like shake whatever you want whatever you want. Yeah, I guess I'm scary You guys are these guys are friend jamie's valley girl voice is funny Did you do like my holly girl eyes like oh my god, like I can't believe that um Like oh my god, so like what is the next question to check out the fire full and mark robers latest video Instead of a full it's a rope and puts you on the ground gently using a mnemonic. Oh Please That sounds stupid. I'm sorry that Maybe it sounds great. It puts you down gently Yeah, it's got over complicated garbage that that does it for you Yeah, so like instead of being a human being and sliding down and controlling myself It will all I have to do is get on the pole And it will do it for me. I guess Wait, why don't I why don't I just get in a floating chair and live on the axiom? We watched wally the other day Apparently musk says without these chips humans will be put aside in terms of well, that is the uh, yeah I mean, that's true Yeah, but then like, yeah Maybe Yeah, so Rolfi says no and it doesn't matter because like we're doing so many stupid things Like the idea that humans might make it is so far-fetched at this point Like so many things we'd have to do stop doing so many stupid things To have any chance of making it Which is insane because we're we're It's just like the smart people are aware of this and you can see the problems But there are so many dumb people And the smart people have shown the dumb people how to do things And then the dumb people are like, oh if I push this button it makes a loud noise. I'm gonna do it a thousand times Oh, you mean I can control people's minds if I do the marketing this way and I make a commercial do this and this and this Oh, someone wrote a nice instruction manual of how to manipulate people Propaganda. Oh good. I don't have to be smart enough. I can just read the instructions one step at a time Oh, so frustrating Smart people stop telling the dumb people how to do things, but it's too late at this point. There's too many There's too many Too many things have been given to dumb people and dumb people are just running full speed with all this stuff Yeah, that's true Yeah, I really basically was saying like humans will hit a wall eventually soon I don't know. I guess I you could argue that we've hit a wall And we're just kind of like slowly sinking I don't know These the artificial intelligence thing There's a chance that An artificial intelligence Would would not want to just destroy us now if it took our if they found us amusing like little hamsters No, I don't think it would see the thing is the artificial intelligence has to not be us If we say if the artificial intelligence is going to take our example. Oh, yeah, it's going to annihilate us It's going to be like, oh stupid thing um But if it You can't you can't look at it like like it's a human You know like, you know, it's going to toy around with us. Why would it toy around with us? Like why wouldn't it become more intelligent and figure out something better to do like say Well, these humans are kind of a waste of time right now, but maybe they'll develop into something Let's just leave them and since I'm an artificial intelligent Super intelligent thing that can do anything Well, let's go off to some other planets and you know, just do whatever we want Um, john chrisman is asking how you can buy a shirt Oh, those are hard to find man. Those are hard to find but to answer the question The shop is actually a canadian shop So because I was born in canada. Oh, I should be able to click right on the spread shirt Wait store shop so like totally like go to the like spread shirt spread your story and like click on the buttons so for like for like getting a shirty And uh, y'all hosers can just do that and uh, yeah, take off a That's about covers the day Mike Mike can you even what you say? Are you going to build that better outboard motor for the boats? Which better better outboard motor? I don't know I'm gonna get a motor soon. Yeah, you're gonna get a motor, but I think my favorite motors are the long shaft motors Just like motor shaft propeller. I'd Sally's talking skookum That's what john said about the shirts Oh, the shirts look skooka me. I don't actually know what skooka means, but I don't either This is not one of the shirts. I painted this one like Like 15 years ago or something. This is a really old one. It was like in a box. I pulled it out Yeah, I painted on with a roller and a stencil and this is just because there's a pocket here Yeah, I didn't I didn't miss a spot. It's just a pocket apparently astral economics is offering to pay you to find him a private island And he's posted that twice. Well, if he So now somebody needs to tell me what skookum is. Okay, we're all for you. Better. Tell me what's all right What's skookum and he wants to he wants to live on an island like in this environment like maybe coming here Astral economics here is what I will say to you send us an email and then we can talk about the details Okay, I think that would be easier than trying to figure out through a chat Right, but I just want the the basics. So, yeah, if you're if you're actually serious about Maybe wanting to move here like There are some there is some land around There isn't uh, how do you say it? I mean, I've explained this before like Looking for land around here or looking for land in a lot of places It's you get you'll get the best deal if you go to a place And you kind of get to know people a little bit And you know find some land that's not specifically for sale, but someone would sell it and you know Because the people are trying to sell land and they go through a real estate agent. You can just yeah, it's so expensive No, it's like it's like adding a zero to the price like This island we're on was $5,000 and there's another island not too far from here about the same size 50,000 with a real estate agent in town like literally 10 times the price And you can probably negotiate it down a little bit still like it's on the order of 10 times if you're going with a real estate agent But yeah, you know if you if you stay in a place and we've And we got some of our friends an island A couple years ago You want to know what's basically just by asking people around you know in the area and introducing them and saying You know, these are our friends. They want to move here. They're looking for an island And yeah within within a couple months. We found them something that was good and they they ended up buying it Skookum is rock solid. It means tough very cool bulletproof Works good quality thing No, well not really bulletproof Well, I was getting sick Very cool. That'd be cool. Sure bulletproof. Yeah So there's that um And then they're having a conversation about railroads and apparently joseph blowmeister Uh loves railroads and he started an ho model railroad but never finished it later Had a fantasy of a narrow gauge railroad on my mountain land Nice, that's cool. Yeah Yeah, mountains are hard to make railroads on Although if you had a railroad on a mountain, you can just have like a winch at the top to pull it up and down Yeah, your uncle is a train engineer. That's right all those trains. He's like super tall too. Yeah Four guys he hit his head on the ceiling of the train. They must make the trains for big people. Yeah You know, yeah, maybe that maybe that's why he sticks his hat out the window all the time because he's too tall I'd love to have a train like on the on our big piece of land over there having a railway around is just You know, that's kind of a lot of material Rex clay would like to know if there's Rex clay malaria here No, actually, this is one of the places that there is no malaria currently. Yeah Yeah, did you know I learned something? Salmonella yesterday. Yeah evening when I was Did you learn that has nothing to do with salmon? No, I used to I learned that certain strain of it actually is what causes typhoid Like typhoid Mary. Yeah, and then apparently There are There's like different types of E. Coli, which is a different bacterial Thing and there's good E. Coli and bad E. Coli. Well, I'll take the good one. Can I have the good one? So Yeah So there's that And there's a guy in redmond washington that has an 11 inch gauge railroad around his property. Oh, no way Apparently has ridden it. It's a steam driven locomotive. That's amazing. That does sound pretty awesome I wonder Where do the guy get the tracks and how much do they cost per meter foot or whatever Anyway, that's I'm not ready for that now. Anyway, I got a few other things I need to do It's so funny to see we have a bunch of little members pop up in our Chat, they all have the little adventure builders. Oh, nice. Yeah Cool, I believe it's courtesy of tomaters. Tomaters. Tomater Um, so do you know there was Tomater in that movie? You know the the truck Yeah, and cars the the tow truck. Yeah, he was actually named after a human being Yeah, you were talking about that on the boat the other day It was this guy who ate lots of Tomatoes when he was a kid and so they they named them they nicknamed him mater He said it's like it's like tomato without the toe. Yeah That's pretty funny and he liked to watch raised cars and he watched raised cars or weight races car races Rex place place says thanks jimmy for all your videos over the years. Oh, you're welcome. I'm glad you appreciate them. Yeah um, apparently chinook native word from bc skookum chuck as a place What that's where he just said I might not have read that correctly Chinook native word from I can't read Skookum chuck is a place Yeah Tomater I'm tired. I'm gonna put the baby down for now. All right. You can do whatever you want. What else am I supposed to talk about right now? You think that's it. You think I'm zonked out. Yeah, wait. There's one more question Do you guys do much composting? Yes I have uh Well, you have all those banana circles Which is like you dig a hole and take the dirt and make it an amount around the hole And what's it like six or eight feet across or whatever and then plant banana trees along the Along the the the high part of the And then put compost in the middle and it feeds all the banana trees so I have one of those and then I have a few planter boxes made out of logs and they're made out of logs because I I plan to keep making raised beds all over until it's just all raised beds And then I'll just throw dirt in the in between and then the logs will disintegrate and then the whole land will just be higher And then I'll stay ahead of the global global warming, you know, uh sea rise, you know, you know, it is So Annie would like to remind you to be kind yourself and rest when you're ill She's from summer that Summer's at massachusetts? No, england summer's at england Yeah, and um anatomatron would like to know how many roads must demand walk down None You know walk down no stinking roads. You can make your own dang roads the whole time dangle All right, you know sometimes when I rest I end up feeling worse and then When and then like I'll do something really really vigorous and energetic and then I'll then I'll feel more rested Oh, there's another question. What's that john christman would like to know if you're using the methane gas bag Oh, not a bag. I don't want bad. I hate bags Because they don't last oh actually wanted to talk about something. I just totally well. I should answer this don't forget Okay, go ahead. Um, so Last week we were talking about gas and smell And sorry, was that me again? Apparently you can't smell methane Which is right. I add a smell to yeah the gas things So I just wanted to say thanks for matt's awesome stuff for like pointing out the ridiculousness of our conversation last week about smelling gas When in fact what we were probably smelling was just like decompose. Wait, what's this we stuff? Oh that I was Was probably like just poop composed poop But the weird thing is is it totally smells like gasoline like that you put in your car Which they probably add a smell to also. I don't know but um at any rate um When I was talking to you about the smell you were like, oh Do you smell anything because then it must be producing gas or whatever. So that was where the Ah, yeah, yeah, totally man. Totally. So gas has no the methane gas has no smell I just wanted to correct myself. Well, what if I can smell it? I don't I don't think you can I might be able to smell it I don't think so. I want to I want to do a test. I want I want some pure methane. I'm gonna see if I can smell it. Yeah Yeah, I don't think so. I can smell carbon monoxide. They say you can't smell that But it's not even so much that I smell it as much as I like feel it You know, it feels like it's like it's different kind of air and I'm like So Um, joseph says you can stay a while more if you want if you feel like a chamber All right, I'll stay a while longer Because I want my tablet back soon. The funny thing is like Since we since I've been sick for the whole week. I'm actually sweating just sitting here Not a lot or anything. I'm turning the fan on but like just a little I can feel my My sweat coming actually my back. Oh, yeah, my back's sweaty. Oh gross Yeah, black water boy says yeah, he can he can smell That's who that's rulfi. Yeah, like like the muppet cool. Yeah. Um, yeah, he can he can smell um Carbon monoxide too, although he didn't say he can smell he can tell it's there. Yeah, it's like I wouldn't I wouldn't say I can smell it but like if I uh I mean, I have this doesn't happen in a long time, but if I go walk into a garage And something has been burning in there that has no odor It just it just feels like the air is stale or if there's a fire that's just Smoldering and mostly out like can't really smell any smoke or anything But yeah, it'll still be producing carbon monoxide and it's just like It's like you can kind of feel it Not really smell it. Yeah, it just it just feels feels different Yeah, kind of like the feel Yes, the gas from a biodegester is going to smell. Okay. Yeah, before Dishana totally Uh mangled what I was saying or Made me forget she's rolling her eyes right now um Oh, yeah, I was saying about uh Gas bags So one way to do the biodegester gas Is to have a bag that inflates and deflates But the way I'm doing it is kind of a more old style way Which is where there's the one container I don't have any props right now Oh, I do have some props Okay, you got one container and this is filled with with poo and food and just decomposing stuff in here, right and the top is blocked off And then you got your tube coming out here that you can get methane out so So the top here is methane and the bottom here is all we'll just call it poo And then you have a tube coming out of here going into this container, right? So as the the water pressure builds up here It pushes the poo down and pushes The poo through the tube and moves it up here But then as you use up gas on this side Whoa use up gas on this side The uh this The pressure of the weight of all the poo here pushes back down and uh, you know pushes the gas out So as long as this poo level is below this one, you'll still have gas pressure But once they end up leveled out, then that's like all the gas you can use So then you have to wait for this to produce more gas and like push down So that way the only moving parts you have is the liquid itself So you can make your containers out of something solid like concrete or plastic or whatever But something hard so that you're not having a like a plastic bag that's moving That's eventually gonna you know get little cracks or rips or whatever So I like I like that way Of doing it Oh my gosh, what I miss what I miss I make a big thud when I smell CO and carbon monoxide. Yeah, that's that's not a good thing. That's a bad thing Uh, do you do any welding? I notice a lot of rivet connections I have done welding. I have not done a lot of welding since we moved to Central America I do have my welder here, which I haven't even used yet The only welding I've done here is on the kids car, which And I I fixed your yeah, I fixed a handle on to shana's bowl and I welded My kids car, which I'm still in the process of making And those are both stainless steel and the way I did it was I had a bunch of solar panels on a boat and Those were all connected in parallel So it gave me 24 volts with something like 100 amps And so I connected one wire to the material and used a vice Well, I used two pairs of vice grip to connect one wire to the material and the other wire to a stainless welding rod You know just uh, what do you call it arc welding rod? You know those rods they're little electrode things and I just did it with that and uh It worked pretty well actually it was a little harder to get it started because it doesn't have a huge startup current Because it's just the current maxes out at whatever the solar panels are It didn't appear to damage the solar panels or anything because the the solar panels Will only create a certain amount of current. It's not like like they're creating the power So it's not like they're going to overpower themselves, right? and uh But once I you know once I got the arc going it worked pretty well I didn't have a mask at the time So I was doing it, you know the the try not to look style. So I was like, all right Oh Oh missed. Oh, okay got you know like that Um, but it came out pretty good like when I did the the reason I welded part of the car For the kids is because I wanted the frame to be really strong And it appears to be really strong very solid. It has none of the cracks have broken or anything Although everything else has riveted Um And then your bowl that never came apart. So the welding seems to have worked well And it hasn't broken though. Yeah, it's been dropped on the The bowl has been dropped on the ground a few times and the welds have not broken So the welding has worked well Um, but I I really like rivets Um, partly because they look kind of like like old cool stuff and partly because You don't have to weld Like welding is what's that? Hold on. There's a question about rivets. Do I do anything with the ends? What does that mean? Oh So the question is do I do anything with the piece of a rivet that comes out? So I need another Another prop. Oh, I'll use my finger Oh, no. Yeah, I'll use my finger. So the way rivets work is you drill a hole And then you take one of these rivets and you put it in here and you attach a thing that goes And it like bends the the inside well kind of flares it But my finger don't want to do that. So it bends it and then you rip off the end And then you have like a A piece of metal going through that's fatter here and fatter there so it locks it together, right? But when it when it's doing that it's pulling this Like nail through to spread the metal on the other side. So you end up pulling this nail out Of of your rivet. So then you end up with this like little rod of metal kind of like a nail Um my aluminum aluminium ones often break in half while I'm doing them and I end up just throwing them in a bucket That has scrap aluminium aluminium that I will at some point probably melt down into things But the stainless steel ones Whenever I get a stainless steel one, I always keep them in a in a bucket and I just call them stainless nails Because they're just basically stainless steel nails. So I use those for anything I need stainless steel nails for like either hammering nails into something But I'll only use them for something that's going to be a really long turn I'm not going to waste them on like Something where the wood's going to rot in two years and then I lost my nail because it falls in the ocean or whatever But I always use them for things like Like if I'm making hinges because I never buy hinges. I just make them but those those stainless Rivet leftovers make good hinge pins And they're just they're good for a lot of things, you know, it's just like a little rod of stainless steel What was I what was I talking about before that? You use the break off of the rivets on the hinges for the toolbox. Yes On my aluminum aluminium toolbox I made recently. Yeah, when I made the hinges, I used the the stainless steel pins That came out of rivets For that. What was it? What was I talking about? Oh, yeah, why I like to use rivets instead of welding So partly just because they look cool. I think do you think they look super cool? The other thing is they don't they don't warp the material, you know, whenever you weld And you know, if you have thin material, it'll keep the material and it'll it'll warp it Yeah, so that won't happen whenever you use rivets and You can also get the bits off if you ever want to change what you've made You know take it apart or whatever if you weld something Like you have to grind and cut it to get it back a crap on welding though Because welding is amazing when when you've got something where welding is the good thing to do Like welding is super awesome When you've got set up and you know my favorite welding to do Is just oxy acetylene like the old style welding on normal steel Man, you can do such a nice job of that and It's just yeah, it's easy to do a super duper nice job of that Although if I had to pick one kind of welding That I could use I'd probably pick mig welding because it's like Kind of like the easiest to do anything with You know, if you have a if you have a mig welder with the the flux core. Oh, it's like I mean as long as you get a little bit of practice like an idiot can do it It's almost like like using a glue gun just You know just melting your metal together. I mean you have to practice a little bit first, but once once you get it It's super easy to do It does come out Messier than oxy acetylene though Because man oxy acetylene welds can come out so nice Mig welding aluminum sucks though because it melts and turns into liquid so fast You have to be really careful not to get it too hot Oh, this guy likes welding because you don't have to drill holes. That is true Now part of my thing about not being in in the welding Lately probably has a lot to do with how much welding I did A few years ago like on the giant robot and on a bunch of other stuff Like for a few years I was welding a lot a lot So I was always wearing the mask and they're all used to fumes and I I probably just kind of got a little bit a little bit tired of welding So maybe at some point I'll get tired of drilling holes and putting rivets and things but but right now I really like rivets Those hinges hinges were the nuts. Those those were good Good hinges too. Yeah, this guy says rivets are tough too. They are tough And this guy says Jamie is riveting Oh, yeah, DeShayna has a question. What's up? Some people were asking some Oh, I have one more thing to say about riveting and welding before you get to that So I do want to build an aluminum aluminum boat. Are you coming to hang out again because the baby fell asleep? Cool So I want to build this aluminum aluminum boat and I want to build it out of marine grade aluminum aluminum and I want to rivet it all Except I can't get like, you know 24 or whatever 30 foot long sheets So I'm going to have to rivet like below the water level And it would probably be better to weld those parts so and that in those cases maybe Welding would be better, but I want to I'd want to do rivets all above that I don't know. I might I did look at some blind not blind rivets flush rivets though that you know, once you put the rivet you like you drill a Like a v-shaped hole, you know, like Like countersunk. Oh gosh, my brains are not working If anyone missed it, I've been sick all week So countersunk rivets so they actually end up flush But anyway, go ahead. What are you talking about? So recently I mentioned on my channel that I've been building a new house Oh, yeah, I didn't really want to mention it on my channel because of the Conversation that that was going to bring up What is that? Well, because now a lot of people, you know, are concerned about the safety of my current home Oh, it's not gonna fall down or anything Oh, no, your house isn't gonna fall over. It also brought up some kind of I think valid question Well, should I should I cover your house falling over? Well, let me just It's not gonna fall over But go ahead But go ahead The big question that seems to be on everybody's mind is What have you learned? Like what is your takeaway been from this particular house? And how have has it helped you to like improve your building technique on your current house And any future things like, you know, what were your big takeaways from this experience? I see I think I think there's a different question Which is more You never felt like this was your house You say mm-hmm so quietly like mm-hmm like yeah or like No disagreeing So I think that was the big problem with this house Because you never felt like it was your house like you never really took ownership of it and like Like said, this is my house. I'm gonna make it Whatever, you know, you've always kind of thought of it as like Just I don't know Like too associated with me and we have a lot of a lot of bad history and stuff I think regardless of that people just want to know if you learned anything that you applied to No, I already knew everything. I knew everything you knew first No, shush. Um I don't know. It's hard. It's hard to say like if I really learned anything maybe I learned stuff specifically about The clay we're on. Well, that's I think just like what did you learn? Well, yeah, I'm trying to say that One thing I was a little bit surprised about is that The side of the house that's in the water is actually A better foundation than I was expecting Like Well, it's because so the one under your house over here, which is on old clay Um, and then there's a a piece in the middle that has some new clay and then there's a part that's in the water I was kind of expecting the whole thing to kind of like sink that way a little bit But it's more like The two sides are supported and the middle sunk a little bit um, so Yeah, it was just I was just kind of surprised at how How good a foundation the part in the water was Like, you know, the it's basically the ground where the mangroves are because it's all still visible Yeah, it's just it's just sitting on What kind of looks like muck but it's Like it's solid, you know, it's really solid like you can walk up to the pieces and see the little Yeah, and they haven't really sunk and like they're You can like just by the cracks in the building you can tell it's it's sunk Not there More than there so Other than that, uh, I don't know it's like I mean did you Would you say that I think I learned things that are hard to explain like just just in terms of You know, like when you when you do something you get experience Then you kind of get a feel for something and then If someone asks you to teach them it it's like, ah, it's not anything I could put in a book, you know it's like I kind of have a feel for how the material works and stuff like how it's going to move and yeah Would you say that you've used any of those skills on your I have gone Absolutely psycho knots on any termites because I think the the biggest problem with your House where the places where it has sunk is that the termites got under there and pulled dirt out from Under your house and you know, just Like undermine the foundation like took dirt out from under your house and that's where it's it's sunk where the termites Pulled the dirt out So at my house I see one termite. I'm like kill it kill it and I'll and I'll try to follow them and I'll I'll find a termite nest somewhere in my house and light it on fire In your house not at my house on my island I was like wow, I told you I've been I've been sick all week. My brain's not working right My dome is not functioning at the ultra capacity What if I looked like this all the time some other people would like to know What is your plan with this house? So do you think you'll just leave it or do you think you'll take the pieces and use them for something cool? or Just like I don't know what to do it. It's like dynamite in the middle and it's not like a kind of thing that could easily be moved or dismantled and If no one's taking care of it, it's Uh Like it's not going to fall over um And the reason I say it's not going to fall over is because it all leans in on itself And it's a dome shape like it you know just fall onto itself like it's Even if it's broken up into pieces, it's you know, it's like an igloo, you know Like just like any dome like it's just leaning all on itself so It's just gonna hang out I don't know. What do you want to do with it? Put the chickens in it. You can put the chickens in it They would have like a mega palace in here But anyway, so you're so you're gonna make a house and you're gonna make it this time and now that's that way you'll feel like it's your house Yeah I just had chocolate milk burp. Uh, it tasted great What do you mean probably should we not talk about that? I don't really want to talk about it. Okay, fine. Um What's the motor sound in the background of fan? It's the fan blowing on the baby Oh, I could use one of those right now. So I bought I bought a bunch of these You don't have one not attached to anything, right? It's just like a 24 volt fan about that big, you know, like a like a computer fan but like a big one and I got them for a dollar a piece By buying a box of 30 I think from from a surplus place Normally they were like 30 bucks each or something, but if I bought a whole box and I'm wondering if They were so cheap and in the surplus place because they're so loud Yeah, they probably made them send them to the company that ordered them and the company was like what the This is no It's like sounds like an airplane taking off. So anyway, we we got them for like next to nothing Yeah, they work great though We's looking at Piezo piezo piezo. How do you say that? I've never said that word out loud actually piezo No, what is that? I don't know The fan apparently is a perfect B flat today What was it the other day? I don't remember it. What is the piezo fan? I mean, I know what a piezo crystal is is like some it oscillates in some way like to make a fan The fan oscillates in some way. I don't know. Well, I guess I could if I had a Like a flapper. Yeah, several people have brought up, you know, turning this into a rental But I think the amount of work that's going to have to go into Probably not gonna have it. Okay. Here's the problem with that. I think no one's gonna take care of this place And I'm not doing it because I'm doing my island and you don't have Strong connection to this place like you don't want it. You don't want to take care of this place either I mean, I just feel like the amount of work that is going to be required for the amount of rental that we're going to make for me It's just not going to be worth the amount of energy spent on it You know for some people to come out and have a vacation Never reminding the amount of work I took to build it. No, I know it took a lot of work to build it And that's why I think that anyway, let's not let's not get into that. Yeah But I think that it has served a good usage for the children to have a safe place to live and You know things like bombproof If if the zombies were coming to attack right now, this would be the place to go like my house's pretty good, but This this house is like Like the zombies are not getting in Yeah Not that there's zombies coming And why don't we have a real apocalypse that was the worst apocalypse ever wasn't it? Whatever is the same thing as crystal no moving parts. Yeah, so how's it working the fan? That's what I'm wondering There was something recently that came up that I wanted to look up on the internet And that's all the thought I've gotten my head right now and that's as far as it goes I don't remember what it was never mind question um Oh, so somebody is still asking about the dome and they want to know if it's bound to sink or what needs to be done exactly Someone trying to move in here um No, I think it's fine. It's gonna sit here for like the next thousand years. It's just gonna be here Yeah, I'm trying to think of like what should we end up Destroying this building like if you left it you left it long enough I don't know maybe Maybe the concrete down on the salt water side Would degrade enough that it would crumble and then the whole thing would Yeah, we like it'd be like a big like a horn of plenty like a like a big uh Like a clamshell concert thing But that's not gonna happen anytime soon. Okay That's all I've got. That's all you've got. Yeah Okay, two more questions and we go have lunch. What are we doing for lunch today? Yeah. Oh, we should talk about the pizza place Oh, wait, there's one more. I did talk about it. Oh wait. Yeah Wait, it says question won't one of you your mini means want the house pretty soon Will one of your mini means want this house pretty soon? I know it's there I think they they're no I think they should build their own houses Well, I won't I'll help them build their houses, but when they're ready for houses, I want to help them build their own houses Carcandian said tomatoes left the people that want to rent the place. Let them fix it up I mean the problem there is that I have tried letting volunteers. Oh god. Yeah done and But you have to have someone competent Yeah And you don't you don't even have to be that skilled you just have to be competent But like in in today's world, you know, most people live in these civilized places And they don't learn any any kind of competence They don't learn any skills and uh, well they'll learn one skill like whatever their job is But like just general competence A lot of people don't have that you have to you have to figure out if someone is just generally competent before you let them You know start working on something like this or else they just make it worse like everything they do is worse Oh, yeah, so there's a pizza place over there which What I when did we find this out a couple like two weeks ago? You're like Well, yeah, we've kind of heard about it a little bit But we didn't like really know anything about it But then a couple weeks ago you're like, hey, what's your face? He's going to get pizza my dad said go get one So I got a pizza and I was like what you got a pizza like how is it and you said it's pretty good. So Every thursday and friday they have happy hour and pizzas are cheap and well cheaper And we went over and got two pizzas the other day on thursday. Yeah, it was great What they're normally like They're normally like 10 bucks and 12 dollars. Yeah, what's on them? But like happy hour, they're eight bucks I thought we paid eight dollars. No, I know I'm saying normally they're nine to 12 dollars and then happy hour They're a dollar off. Oh like cheapest one eight dollars But it actually comes with like Yeah, why how's that the cheapest one we got three toppings on each one. Yeah, we got A pepperoni and yeah, you're gonna meet in two bucks. What was it pepperoni peppers and mushrooms and stuff Anyway, we got we got two pizzas and onions over there. It's pretty good So we drove over and got them and the people were very nice too. So, yeah, there's a pizza place right over there I mean, it's a couple miles away not right there Yeah Yeah, maybe two and a half three two or three miles to the shop is three ish Yeah Pretty close Yeah, whatever Yeah, so maybe once in a while, we'll go get pizzas How many pizzas can you eat before you get full? Normally, oh man, I've eaten I've eaten a lot of pizzas in a row before But it also depends what size they were the other day We got two pizzas and that was good, but I was also, you know feeling kind of sick I didn't want to eat that much still I I did eat most of the pizza and they were getting lots of pizza They're pretty good size pizzas Paint does fix a lot of stuff paint Yeah, just just cover it in paint Well, I mean the thing about paint and the concrete which I tried and doesn't work very well And I've tried it in several different areas the type of paint that I'm willing to spend You know by which is not expensive It just eventually Peels off comes off rubs off wipes off like if you go to wipe the wall the paint comes with it I want to put Sodium silicate is that what it is water glass on my roof when I'm done Which is uh, it kind of waterproofs the concrete And it's hard to find but you make it with Crystal kitty litter and lye Yeah, so I'm gonna have to try that and actually do it Because what what I don't know how cheap kitty litter is really how a kitty litter can't cost that much Can you cats are pooping it and no one's spending a hundred dollars on cat poop catcher? I don't it's just to paint on the concrete it's not like a dumping buckets of it on there Like oh my god, I don't know no you don't grind it up you dissolve it in water Yes, it does if you heat it up Not not the clay key litter the crystal kitty litter the one that's silica. It's like you know like in those desiccant packs Silica gel And I don't even know if it would dissolve in water on its own, but it does with the lye so whatever Like whatever dad like totally whatever What do you want for lunch? Yeah, I don't think we're getting pizza So do you want to know what type of crust are they thin regular or pan style? They were it was pretty good crust crust. Yeah, I would call it average. Yeah Yeah, you know first one I got had a lot of crust But then when we got the two pizzas the other day it was pretty good stuff I really want to make pizza with my new sourdough bread. So You know, I make a lot of bread here because like flour is cheap and I have coconuts and Coconuts don't he can get sick of coconuts pretty pretty easily But shredded coconut in bread is great like it goes really well in bread So I've been making a lot of coconut bread and my my coconut bread is like 50% coconut. It's a lot of coconut. Anyway What like a week ago? I got a sourdough starter from Dushena and a sourdough starter is basically You take flour and water and put it in container and you keep adding flour and water and it like Some it turns to life like it turns into the blob and it's like alive and it's breathing and it's like Oh, hey, how you doing? It starts talking to you out of the jar and stuff But anyway, you've had a sourdough starter for how many years many years So I got a couple of scoops of this and took it home and and started feeding it some Some flour and water and the first day it was like And the second day it was like more more anyway So I took it just makes this slimy blob bubbly thing And uh, it's kind of fluffy. Yeah, it's just like It's just it just makes bubbles and it's slime. It's like slimy and bubbly So then you take a then I poured some of it out into a bowl I'm basically telling you how to make sourdough bread at this point I poured some some out into a bowl and added a bunch of flour And it was liquidy enough that I didn't have to add any more water But if you know I have to add whatever water is necessary Um, and then I added a bunch of like most of a shredded coconut And some salt and that's it and then you just like You know stir it up and then smush it and knead it up until you have some good dough And then let it sit there and the the sourdough Stuff in there starts making bubbles and it you know Fluffs it up just kind of like if you put yeast in the bread it makes the bubbles and you know And it fluffs it up so you leave it for a while and then you eventually cook it and then you get bread And I really like the sourdough bread because once it's been Kind of eaten and pulled out by the whatever bacteria or whatever garbage is in there It's like better for you, right? Yeah So yeah partially digest it so Like when I when I have the bread that's made with yeast I can only eat a certain amount before I start being like oh, it's too much bread I'm just like you know feeling like like like like black But the sourdough I can eat like five times more And it doesn't I mean I'll get tired of bread, but it doesn't make me feel like you know like sick kind of You know, it doesn't give me that I'm I'm uh wheat intolerant kind of feeling Um, a currently water glass is used to preserve eggs Yeah, you can like dip it in and it coats them. Is that what you do? That's what Warren says Yeah, hi Warren. The thing is like how long do you need to save some eggs? They're already less We need to get through like a winter or something. Yeah, I guess that makes sense But if you're in a winter you just put stuff outside. That's what we used to do Put it out in the snow of like anything. That was the best thing about having a Right. Yeah, you're on a shipy voyage. Yeah, it's true. Yeah What do you think's easier taking a chicken on a ship now because then you have to take all their food Stupid chickens. You know, uh chickens are so reliable. Yeah. Oh guy, it's kids bones, but it's so bony Apparently Morgan James C is in South Royal Timbermont Oh From South Royal Timbermont. That's where we used to live. Don't forget to hit that like button So apparently Rolfi's wife missed you just made banana bread and it was real good Oh, I've got a huge thing of bananas coming out on my my banana tree in the video I made a video this week because I was like, oh my gosh I haven't made a video in like a week and a half or something and I'm about to run out of videos So I made a video of when I was sick and I showed my bananas I've got a huge I've got a huge thing of bananas coming out of my giant banana tree I've got one huge banana tree. I've been thinking like it's it's been it's huge Like I've been wondering when the heck it's going to make bananas because this thing has gotten enormous And yeah, it looks like it's making a huge bunch of bananas Which is You know a minor problem because it's going to be like 250 bananas at once I need to figure out how to get them to ripen like Like in sequence not all in like the same two or three days Because like I can eat a lot of bananas at once but man, I can't eat like 250 And even like the kids like carcannon and bellatrix. They can eat each eat like 10 bananas a day no problem, but like It's just so many at once Do you know anything about bio concrete? No, I don't know anything about Well Maybe Probably not I mean there's there's that whole um Oh, what's it called? Do you ever sing the I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts on? No, I've never heard that one I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts. I always love to have some nice coconuts to play with What Um Somebody would like to know if it's made from captain morgan's original sourdough yeast No, this is made from coconut rum. It's just made from Flower and water in a jar right no, I don't know anything Carcane the same mama Oh, no, right. That's somebody being asked What's up carcane you want to come up dude? Okay, joseph says hi to the kids. Oh hi to the kids joseph from the kids Man you guys are going crazy when we started this thing How you feeling dollar tricks? Are you still sick? That's what I've been doing Right now if right now, I don't think I could eat that much Just because like I've hardly I've hardly eaten over the last week Not like I haven't eaten at all. It's just I haven't been eating a lot for like two days I almost didn't eat anything. We're just fine. I mean a day or two without eating is not a big deal for me Ken has to go back to work. So he says go to work. Ken. Have fun. We need to wrap this up Yeah, shut up and go go make some lunch. Yeah. Yeah, we need to go make some lunch I'm not even that hungry though. It's because I've been lazing around although I I really have like no appetite Yeah, how you feeling dollar tricks? Are you feeling any better? Do you think your uh, your big adult teeth are getting straightened out soon? Yeah, they're straightening. They were first they were funny when they first came in All right, let's go do something The background sound is starlink That's what it is. That's why I don't want starlink because I don't want this. It's too noisy, man You know those starlink fans are just I don't know Have a great day. That'd be funny if he was watching this like Hey guys, what's up? I've got nothing else to do, you know So his like days are like organized by the minute Can you imagine? He'd go nuts He's got schedule Yeah, I'm done. I'm ready I want my tablet back. See you guys next week. Yeah, hopefully next week. I'll be back back to normal Normal us. Well, hopefully better than normal. I don't know. I feel like I've been slacking off of these a little bit lately The box opening I'm just gonna do a going to get it and see what I got Lots of fabric on this one Really? How much stuff am I gonna be able to fit all this stuff on the boat? Yeah, but like a lot like I can fit it on Am I gonna feel to fit it on my boat a lot? Probably Oh, I hope I get a good weather day that day because I don't want to be driving through like a storm with like a Full on loaded boat of like a thousand pounds of stuff. I'll push the button Glad I'm gonna go go push the button
