    The technology that you are teaching us, the hydro electric power for domestic use, the wind power, the building techniques, the use of sustainable agriculture is what everyone needs to learn for what is coming in the next century.
    It's obvious that pandemics are back with a vengeance, war, famine, pestilence and plague will be a feature of this century and unfortunately we all need to learn what you are teaching.

    It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.

    That frame has a truly medieval look about it ! That will last your lifetime and beyond. The only negative thing about using such thick timbers is that they will restrict the amount if light that gets into the greenhouse. Probably not a problem in the summer, but in the shorter days the more light the better for the crops. But, absolutely fantastic.
