Grumpy landlords. 😖

Hex house?

This is not a model but a decorative element at most. Model is supposed to represent the real thing in scale. This one... I guess it resembles the real ship if you look at it at enough distance.

That model must have taken quite something to make.

😢

Sorry to bother you i need some advice if possible. I'm in the process of buying a Pageant and the owner said the engine has been taking out but the outboards are better so it's not a worry is this true. Yes novice so i apologise in advance

Two houses to be built & a boat! Plenty to do.

i also want to live in portugal

Great video thanks for sharing Hi from tagum

I should have said connected in parallel not series. A slip of the tongue.

YES!!! Plaining sailsboats are a thing and for monohull they are called scowbow and they are really fast light and roomy inside. Just Google the revolution 24 you're going to love it

Oh yes, totally agree with you, lol.

It always seems like an easy job, till you get on & do it & then there's a whole lot of challenges.

It's one thing cutting it down, then you're stuffed if you cannot then transport it & cut it into useable stuff (looking forward to this house taking shape).

Plenty of work to do.

It's all just mathematics and it's all in my head. The time I spend drawing it would take away from doing something useful. The workers have moved up the floor beams to Scottland, so that is the heavy work done.

Hey, It's us from the house.

Nice vlog🎉

Looks a nice place.

When l draw my pension soon, maybe cheaper for me to live there on the beach, than good old blighty here. Warmer as well.

No drawings of the intended design? All builds have an 'artists impression' of the finished building - let's see it. (keep at it, but pace yourself & don't wear yourself out).

The house will not be connected to the tree until it reaches my desired height. I will be using the natural fall of the land to create a an enhanced feeling of height. The trees will be connected to I beams which they will be allowed to engulf.

Good building materials, but plenty, plenty to do.

I actually did timelapse photography to study how trees grow. The distance from the ground to any branch you'd use to support your house will not change over the life of the tree. The trunk will grow fatter, as will the branches. Trees grow by making buds in spring which make leaves and a twig that grows in length for the first year. After that, the former twig will not grow in length anymore, it only gets fatter to support the weight of subsequent twigs. It is only the twigs grown this season that makes the tree taller and wider. Everything else stays the same length and only grows thicker. This is true of tropical trees as well. You can use this information to plan your house structure. You don't need to worry about the lower part of the tree supporting your house getting any taller. You can either leave space around the trunk filled with cloth or something easily adjustable to compensate for the trunk getting wider, or let the tree engulf the adjacent wall section. Think about trees you may have seen that grew to engulf fence posts and other man made obstructions adjacent to where the young sapling started growing.

I can see that shifting the decent logs would be a problem.

Those chain saws make light work of these big trees (I'm guessing the wood is pretty hard).

Mind how you go. Back your phone up on a memory stick. Dont keep all your eggs in one basket. 👍

Better than some of the cladding around here!

Looks like a shopping mall anywhere in the world (apart from when you look outside).

It's really interesting to look back on my videos as a more knowledgeable future version of myself. I am in the Philippines now and poised to start work on my proper legal house. I got through is just as I knew I would. Things are better and I am in a good financial situation. I will post a response video to this. It's important to show it all warts and all.

I'm sure that street food is really tasty (& inexpensive - unlike McDonalds).

Very good story telling - kept us listening to the end! Agree with all that you've said here. 'The way, the truth & the life...' you cannot compromise this for the sake of 'inclusivity' (we know where that idea came from).

Keep us updated on this wee jem, im adhd and l9ve cosy cabin boats, a safe space,

Yes, you have a point ultra sonics work by cavitation, which can do damage to things like boat propellers. So I guess there is a cost benefit analysis. The softness is really something to behold. It's worth it in my view. I can see other potential applications for this. This thing only cost me £18.

It will be interesting to see what the long term effects are, I'm wondering if the softness of the fabric is due to wear on the fibers from them being vibrated against each other in the weave by the ultrasound. I've noticed that new shirts tend to be a bit stiff and older, more worn shirts get softer. You can always get more cheap clothes at thrift stores for very little money, so its probably a good idea even if it reduces the lifetime of the clothes a little bit. I plan on getting an ultrasonic cleaner and using it to clean clothes when on the boat. I don't mind if it wears the fabric a bit. Its still worth it to me if I can clean the clothes easily with little power.

Try sonic soak thats American,

American amazon doesn't have that one. If you search for portable ultrasonic cleaner, they have some with the ultrasonic head shaped like a cylinder that run on 110V AC power for about $60. If you search for portable ultrasonic dishwasher, they have a couple kinds that use USB power. One of them is $16 and another is $30.

Seems a good tool, but a whole washload?

At least it doesn't look too hot on the tarmac.

You look happy. Have a good break.

Another new adventure you're embarking on in the Philippines - just a bit different to the UK. Good luck with the fluency in Portugese, it's just English for me.

It's nice to have quiet surrounds, but that rough concrete, like those old plaster ceilings, will collect dust & dirt and spoil the aesthetics - but it might be a solution?

You're looking well, especially after living in the wilds for all those winter months. The teaching job sounds good, and hopefully will pan out for you. Looking forward to your next adventure.

Thats very interesting. One project I'm working on is stereo speakers. I'm working on ways to make the interior irregular by gluing different sized rubber nubs all over the inside

The wood house sounds interesting. Congrats on making it back to the Philippines. You're right, the only way normal people can save money is to not give it all away for rent. Thats why the cabin is so brilliant. You could teach math the way you did it on your friends table, showing all your work. Classrooms have large chalkboards or whiteboards that should be big enough for that. I had a wife once, they are expensive. I got a cat instead. Cats work pretty good if you can keep them inside, otherwise they tend to wander off and go feral. Maybe a dog would work better in a more open environment. Good luck wherever you go.

Good luck, keep on keeping on.

I'm 47 this year and still waiting for a diagnosis, Its been around 6yrs journey as I've been assessed for autism and bpd only to come back to an original opinion which was adhd. I must say I dont do well but I'm confining myself to my home so I don't buttress up against much that can cause to much stress. I hope you all the best and hope to find some confidence in my little bubble as you have shown to be possible. we also share an accent so that helps, I'm in peterlee, co. Durham.

My wife and sailed one, built in Sydney BC 1964. We acquired it in 1995 and sailed Bird of Dawning for fifteen years. Loved it. We once sailed past a 100 foot plus old schooner sail trainer. We couldn’t understand why the kids were all on deck talking our picture. Then it dawned on us. That says it all.

You got to put everything from outside inside.pull out chimney and close the place down properly.and leave the area clean

It would be good to be waterproofed before you leave it for a while, otherwise it will quickly be a complete mess (knowing our British summers!).
