LIFE LESSONS - LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES...
I did a terrible job on this one.
When we first moved to the Ozarks, we were excited about finding a way to put our family into a debt free home. One idea that we had was to use old grain bins as part of the structure.
With a lot of excitement and very little research, I ended up purchasing two grain bins that were located over three hours away. Sad to say, I bit off more that I could chew, and at the moment I have neither grain bins nor the money I paid for them.
Learn from my mistakes people. I did an absolutely horrible job on this one.

Until next time…
STEEMIT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!
Good example in that sometimes life throws stuff at you that you have no control over! Hopefully you will be able to get something back, good luck on that!
Also about the mouse not working....are you telling me you still have not had @dwells get the new laptop working for you??
@simms50 I I think the simplest solution is for him to download all of the drivers for his new computer onto the hard drive of his old and then pull the hard drive from his old and put it in the New, then install all the drivers so it will be like his old computer in a new body.
What? That doesn't even sound close to simple!
Well some people find working on computers very simple other people find growing trees very simple. we each have our own talents.
Downloading drivers...ah no problem there for me but @dwells you do make a good point....sooooo you might just have to do it for him! Sounds like you need to love thy neighbor as thy self and help a brother out!
I like your idea for the silos. Hope you get blessed.

Not a good day but there will be some good and reason behind it all. I love the idea of the grain bin house shame it won't happen, I plan to build a container ship building maybe. Also a earth ship have you looked into these complete sustainable and ultra cheap as you can get volunteers to build it. Check out @eco-alex. I am just about to enter into a mortgage but it's so much cheaper than renting it will save me £300 a month. My intention is to save and buy some land and escape the debt too. But I think I have to get in deeper before I have the means to climb out 💯🐒
Papa P,
I am trying to learn to do things with less expectation and increased humility. I am not very good at it. Getting through a day in a dignified way and with gratitude is not easy as the months roll to years. I didn't expect permanency with regards to illness and pain.
Life throws stuff at us. Your video didn't talk about these things that I speak of, but it did demonstrate acceptance. Radical acceptance of the things we can not change, and then turning that into opportunity.
Spending time with monster truck, taking photos, preparing for not getting the outcome you hope for and celebrating the achievement of the books you have printed (I have these on the back burner too.).
I have told people before when people ask you how you do it. It is integrity, being yourself, consistency and unapologetically continuing.
Congrats on the new little pep on the way. Send my sincerest to mummaP. She is amazing.
I noticed you are putting the photo contest on hiatus. I haven't entered it too many time, but I need to tell you, it has been the inspiration on many occasions for me to get outside with our little guy, which is no easy task sometimes.
So, Thanks for that.

That's a really cool concept! The two silos almost looks like yurts, with a tiny house in the middle.
Can't watch the video at work, but definitively marking it to watch later.
Thanks for your post, no doubt it will help someone avoid the mistakes :)
haha I am sorry but this one actually made me laugh. Be grateful for your beautiful home and that you didn't end up living in these things ! hahahahahahahaha Way too much metal
I never get tired of seeing the grain bin house. I hope it works out for you and you eventually catch up with the guy.
Seems like a difficult task, aside from getting them moved and set back up... foundation to sustain inside movement, etc..... well, it was a cool idea.
@jeejee
Let's put it this way, you learnt one way not to do something. That is a very valid experience which you have started teaching others. So there is a great learning from what happened to you. Kudos.
