Well developed space there

But

Its giving Nate, Me, Bobby and Sean the shivers

We lived out of those things! You're bringing back memories of a plywood life at 20 and 40 feet...

So apparently Obama made me a hoarder. Most of this stuff I haven’t seen in four years.

In this pile is 55,000 primers and 103lbs of powder and 20,000 projectiles.


In this pile is 15,000 rounds of brass


And I apparently have a nice reloading set up. Bad thing after not using it in four years I need to go through setting and calibrating it all over. Same with the brass. Not sure which was fully prepped/sized and what wasn’t.


Got the shelves done this morning too

Yeah. Need to do some shooting. That doesn’t account for the loaded rounds I’ve hoarded. I’d be embarrassed to admit what I have stored in loaded rounds.

you may want to get some boards cut and put on those shelves with the particle board.  those things will start to bow in about 3 months.

Since I’m storing my surplus fireworks that might not be a bad idea. Halon pipe right down the outside long wall. Shouldn’t take much in an enclosed space like that.

Now I have the can finished and I’m filling it up with stuff the kids are asking questions. Interesting convo with them about my concentric circle planning and where the next piece of property will be for the last circle. I did have to detour a bit to “resort up” the place because life with kids, ya know!

They used to joke about my “phases” as they would call them. Weapons, reloading, HAM radio, Ready Store, etc. now they are starting to see all of it put in order in the “plan”

Will run inventory on all my stuff with a eye towards one year self sufficiency here. Next step is looking for some acreage in ID or MT as the last and final circle.

In retirement it will be the summer get away from the heat for a couple months and the permanent get away if something really really bad happens

Having been through both of those states in the last week, the heat during summer isn’t much less than Texas. Still hits the low to mid 90’s. The southern parts of both are pretty blah, but up north it is very nice.

We’re contemplating moving to Montana...

I’m thinking up near Grangeville at some altitude. Much cooler there than Boise. Finding the right piece of land will be the trick. Has to be in the area where it gets sufficient rainfall for crops and high enough elevation to be cooler and flat enough in at least 1 acre to be farmed.

I was really surprised that our new place up there hit *102 last week. That's pretty hot for the panhandle area me thinks, especially when it was in the upper *90s here.

Yes it was hot up there Ken. Spent 3 days in the area last week. That is some very nice country for sure and that new mini will surely help the looks of your new place.

You know Charles, if you're only attempting to plant an acre the actual amount of rainfall wouldn't be that important as long as you have a good well. At my farm in Indiana we installed a windmill powered hand pump which the design also could build pressure. IE you could run a small irrigation off of it if you had wind. The amish still make them and some have them plumbed into their house and a pressure tank for indoor plumbing.

What’s interesting is that the seacan fulfills the original mission of climate controlled storage and reloading facility. The casita is full on mission creep and has taken on a life of its own. Next month will be one year since I started the structure.  I’m tired of working this project and am ready for it to be done.  It’s much bigger Than I imagined and weighing on me like a brick. It’s taken most of my free time and I’m ready for it to be over.

Oh, and I just threw on some ribs for a little team meeting at the office today at 11

So I'm getting ready for sheetrock.  This I will sub contract to guys that do it for a living.  2000 to rock it, tape and float and texture.  I have to supply the rock. 1650 sq ft of rock so I think its reasonable.

So I’m trying to make sure that everything is ready for Sheetrock.

Going to use a composite shower basin that is made by KBRS and guaranteed never to leak. It gets set in thinset and then tile over it.  I got the corner seat and shampoo niche as well.

Also had to install a few outlets outside on the porch and the rear where a the AC is going to be.

I have 1 inch smurf tube coming in from underground conduit for cat 6.

I plan to make the casita the nerve center for the network. The 100mb connection will start in the main house and switch will send internet to the casita where another switch will distribute network cameras, a wireless access point, and send internet to the shipping container where more cameras, internet and distributed TV will be.

All the AV sources will be in the guest house and a matrix switch will send any of the 4 sources to any of the 4 TVs. 2 in the main house, one in the guest house and one in the shipping container. TV will be sent over CAT6 to bakuns.

Here is the smurf tube where it enters. It goes up and across and to the upstairs storage where all the computer rack stuff will be



Ran out of romex so went to Lowe’s to get more and will finish the upstairs wiring tomorrow along with the ceiling fan mounts and can lights.

Yes. The can will have a WiFi access point and will probably have a cell phone repeater like the one in the main house since no signals get through. Although I do like being un reachable

Not the same, I can drive up in the mountains and do that too in many places.

You know the days when you had a landline phone with a tape recorder attached. The really nice part was if you didn’t want to be reached then someone else in the house must have deleted that message......

Here’s the KBRS shower basin. One piece some kind of foam core with composite material covering it. It better be good. This shower pan was $600



It has the curb molded in which should make for a stable curb. Most showers have trouble keeping tile on a site
Built curb when it’s wood with membrane

Also added a double stud where the tile backer will end and the Sheetrock begins to give me solid place to anchor the shower doors.

Finished roughing/finish electrical upstairs. Outlets and lights in the storage space behind the knee wall are done and tied all the commons and grounds in the 3 gang box for lights and fans

It’s a good thing I double checked before Sheetrock. I found I omitted a piece of romex that I needed to tie the storage area lights on one side to the other. That way I have one switch that turns on the storage lights all together.  Would have not been able to tie those together after Sheetrock.

Double checked all the edges for nailing surfaces and declared it ready for Sheetrock


All that’s left downstairs is to install the drain in the shower, lay the pan in thinset and hang the tile backer board and then finish the pocket door framing. All the electrical rough in and vent fan got done Saturday.

I don't see any steel plates where each stud has a romex running through (to keep drywall screws from hitting wires) it's code out here, no matter how thick the stud is. Not sure what they're called.

Yes. Thanks for the reminder. Those were on my list. JR the spiral stairs go in last.

Got the shower pan installed and backer board going up. Pics later.

Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

Got the pocket door installed and the nail plates on. Ran about 8 short and will get those this week and order the Sheetrock.

Today the rockers showed up at 7:30. There is a separate crew for hanging and floating/texturing.

It is really starting to look good.  I did smile at one compliment today as the rockers talked about how straight and square it was which made it easier to hang the rock.

I also thought i ordered about 5-10 extra sheets just to be sure but they used every last one.  It came out perfect.  80 sheets, granted they said a few were buggered but it was good to have some extra!
