Most of my neighbors I talked to only have gravel, they skipped the drain pipe. I would think it’s better to add something like this. Thank you for your advice!

Yes I do, because it doesn’t run… lol I really need to fix it haha.

I was welding outside the shipping container, going to make a mount to hold solar panels.

I knew this was a possibility, but I didn’t think anything was behind where I was welding. I was wrong lol

It’s very important to have fire extinguishers… I had to use mine yesterday! Lost a lot of good board games.

Luckily I caught the fire right when it started or I would have lost almost everything I own.

Cheap cameras often have bad side effects.

Amazon cameras stream everything to Amazon. There was a story where a delivery guy heard the camera wrong and reported it to Amazon, then Amazon disabled their Amazon account and it disabled their entire smart home. Amazon also gives all the footage to police, even when nothing wrong has happened.

Arlo cameras were sold as “local” but still uploaded to their cloud, and everyone has access by guessing the URL, there was no password or anything.

Lots of these cheaper cameras have so many flaws.

I have 2 camera systems. Offline local system that just records if anything happens, no internet at all.

I have another system that I have cameras in specific places (like the driveway) and I can get notifications of any movement.

It’s really, really hard to find a good one, thats also secure. Also does it have to be online?

Firefox focus, it’s a browser with only 1 tab and built in Adblock.

My neighbor does that with his grey water. Just be sure to use the right biodegradable soaps.

That’s a great start! I’m sure it can be filtered and sanitized. Filter out solids and kill the bacteria.

We use very little water, we wash dishes with a pump sprayer. The biggest use of water is drinking.

Hopefully you will be able to someday!

We have been off grid about 8 months now. Right now we don’t even have water access. We haul water from Walmart. Just got a free rainwater roof a few days ago, and found free gutters, but need to find IBC tanks. It’s a ton of work but so satisfying.

I am very happy to not be on the grid. We have a smaller setup, but it runs the AC during the day (even when we are not home) and it’s FREE.

Oh yea and during recent heat waves people in town have been having power outages, not us.

Rich people also get handed so many free things.

Put over $100,000 in the bank and they will throw free accounts, low interest credit cards, rewards, free safety deposit boxes, personal concierge services. And that’s just the start.

If that was under the pillow, then they didn’t change the sheets and pillow cases. 🤢

Thank you for the link. I can see he used a concrete foundation for his home. That is way out of budget for me. I have seen some people use the bags as the foundation but filled with gravel for the first few layers. But I’m not sure how they drain any moisture away if it gets wet.

I live in a place where I can get it permitted. Not worried about that. I just want to see several ways people build these and try to make it the way I feel is a fit for my area.

lol weird artificial intelligence generated image (I should have spelled it out) Weird AL though is awesome

Oh, I zoom in and see it now. Looked like a weird AI thing before (also resolution didn’t help)

Wow what’s up with their finger nails!
