Gotta say, I'm jealous. It never gets cold enough here to have a fire.

One of the guys on the show was able to get clean water by making "ozone" by making his own little tesla coil. Super jealous of that guy's smarts.

winters here can be long and dreary, last winter we had a period of temps in the very low teens. and since we are in the country if the power goes out....

we do have a heat pump, but the wood is free and our fireplace is super clean burning, it heats the whole 2800 sq ft all winter.

Purdy. If it ever got below 60 degrees here, I would love to have one.

Yes she is a speech language therapist. she does therapy with people who have had brain injuries, strokes etc.

I would pray, but you know how useless I think that is :D

Wow, that has to be quite the two-sided job, you can either feel great at the end of the day, or horrible. What's the longest recovery time she's experienced?

Beautiful! http://www.kitchenroundtable.com/i/smiley/bow.gif

I've got a big house and all, but I'm in one of those cookie cutter neighborhoods where I could run a ladder over my neighbors' roofs.

Thats your home?

exactly right, plus she takes heat from family members when she makes them unable to eat. many people with brain injuries or strokes lose the ability to swallow so everything they eat or drink goes directly into their lungs. we refer to this as "bacon lung." :icon17:

Nice house Tin!

Yes my wife and built it starting Dec 07 and it was done august last year. LOTS of sweat equity. :tup:

That is beautiful!

Whoa, I would have thought that would cause almost immediate death.

Thanks, it was quite an ordeal, but we got the exact house we wanted, where we wanted it. When we bought the land there was an old single wide mobile home there that a bunch of tweakers were living in. They were evcited and to protest they took all of the stuff and burned it in the front yard! :ugh2:

No, it just keeps piling up in there until you get pneumonia, then you die.

:roflpuke2:

Thanks Dad! We feel very fortunate to have such a great place at our age.

wow thats some crazy ****! Thats cool though that you guys built the home exactly how you guys wanted it. It's so expensive to do that where I live, everything is all developed and when you build the taxes are through the f'n roof!

I've got close to 1000 photos of the process. I tried to give the mobile home away on craigslist, but nobody had the money to move it, so the fire department came and burned it down for practice. It was cool having 4 departments and 50+ firefighters there! I was so happy to see that POS burn down.

BTW that included couches, file cabinets, clothes, mini blinds and a bunch of other stuff.

Oh we should get to see pictures of that!

Well I'm at the weather shack right now and all the pics are on my home PC.

Agreed. Any good pic of the fire?

I shot video of the mobile home burndown, I can post that on youtube.

Well then laters, I want to see that

Nice. That will be a laugh.

OH i'm so game for video thats got to be sweet

at least 30 or so, plus the video. the fire was amazingly hot! i ended up moving my truck back because i thought the paint might blister, and there dozens of heat tornadoes swirling around, being a weather douche i got lots of pics of those too. :ugh2:

it'll be a hoot

lol... u burned a mobile home.... whats going on

okay i'll try and upload it and post it in the next few days. i've got a lot to do on my days off this week but i will do it for sure. i can post pics when i get home after midnight.

Sweet man, thanks!
