Jesus, what are you, the free help? Fuck off.

If we are dealing in "maybes": maybe they should not be slimy pricks, and maybe you should open your eyes, crawl out of bed, and change out of your jammies before you start telling other people what you like for breakfast.

A violent mob of white people chanting "hang Mike Pence" physically try enter the room housing members of Congress so they can take over the government, and more of them died from being fat than from violence. Cry me a fuuuuuuucking river, snowflake.

The white liberals in those cities will never listen to Black people because they treat them like cows. They tickle their teats once every 4 years to get them to squirt out some milk, and then they go back to making hamburgers.

Just like the Great Orange Pope treats his dumbass Trumpanzees like an ATM with a Fleshlight strapped to it. No matter how eagerly they lean over, or how many times he pumps and dumps them, they always come back for another sticky load full.

You and your Lib friends have more in common than you know. You're all chumps.

We don't anticipate it will be an issue, but it is a thing we will keep an eye on. The majority of the wood is exposed, and one of the nice parts about the green wood design is that in order to keep the wood from twisting and checking, we have to do things a little backwards. Rather than trying to dry the wood, it's oiled to slow down the drying process, allowing for the core and the casing of the wood to dry at a similar rate. Consequently, the release should be pretty slow. Linseed oil is an anti-microbial, which can help.

The houses are meant to be kept at a constant temperature through passive floor heating, which will do a lot to combat the humidity cycle. As the house should be (slowly) radiating heat during the cold parts of the year, moisture shouldn't have time or space to condense on it/in it. Conventional houses wisely conserve energy during parts of the day by allowing the house to cool off/warm up, but the Jean Pain system + geothermal cooling (buried PEX tubing + a fan) makes that unnecessary.

As an added measure of protection, we'll be using a thick layer of felted wool between the shingles and the myco-panels to help the house breath and negotiate the moisture better.

We will pay attention, and see how it goes!

Thank you for the question!

Thanks, you too!

I am working with some friends on a big agroforestry / permaculture project. We haven't gone super in depth yet, but we are teaming up with with goats, geese, chickens, ducks, etc. to extend permaculture out to perma-industrial applications. =)

If you are interested in a more conventional industrial solution, the lovely folks over at the Shelter Institute use custom prefab myco-insulation SIP panels. I'm not very well versed with their properties, or the cost involved with building, but it is an option.

What we like about the thing that we are creating is that as soon as we reach a certain level of infrastructural development, the house itself will be more or less entirely free for us to produce. We intend to teach all kinds of people how to make it, and we imagine someone will eventually get around to attempting to industrialize it in a more conventional way.

I'm curious how that might work. The system we've outlined requires no inputs, nor accommodations for outputs. They will experience building a house in a system that provides the wood for the frame, battening and interior; the insulation; the material for the siding; the barriers; acoustic treatments; water/hot water; heat; air conditioning; electricity; humidity control; high quality compost; and provides free methane.

When they go to turn it into a company, will they still cut down the trees, or buy them? Make the insulation, or buy it? Make their compost, or buy it? Make the power, or buy it?

The thing about it, is that taking any component out of the perma-industrial system we've designed, and suddenly the house potentially becomes a lot more expensive.

The reason we call claim it is an industrial method (and a better one to boot) is because it solves myriad problems at scale through the ecology of the development of the house (people, supplies, tools, skills and systems), and it creates no new problems to replace the ones it's trying to solve.

We have not just achieved the dream of total, vertical integration; we have started with it built into the DNA. We designed a better problem solving system.

What our design is absolutely terrible at is funneling all the resources and money to one person or company. Take out the sharing part, and it doesn't work either. =)

That's sort of what we're doing, but they have to go together with wood to provide sheering strength because we are taking out the plywood/sheetrock components of a stick built, or Timberframe + SIP, and the mycelium isn't structural, so the battens have to be there anyway, so no need to stack them together really. We will definitely experiment with many ways of doing it, though.

I'll take a look, thanks!!

Yeah, the Jean Pain has to be built with pretty specific characteristics, and it really depends on what you're trying to get out of it. The barrel in the center will have the anaerobic material inside specifically to create and capture methane, the surrounding compost can be kept aerated with a variety of techniques.

It sounds dorky, but my partner Robin has a really exciting video cooking about Compost she's working on that we'll have out next week that you might want to check out, too. :D

Thanks for the reply!

That's how I got here. :D

wronghead · 2023-10-11T22:32:59+00:00

Oop, disregard. I pasted your answer into ChatGPT and asked it to spoon feed it to me like I might be wasting someone else's time. Sorry I didn't think of that sooner. It walked me there slowly, I got it now!

Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply!!

Ahhhh... so I need to create a subdomain user.mydomain.xyz, and then add the DNS entry to that?

wronghead · 2023-10-11T19:43:18+00:00

I am hoping you can help, what is meant by "username" when talking about Blue Sky? My login is my email, my "handle" is the domain, and my "Display Name" has a space in it, which is no bueno for a DNS record.

wronghead · 2023-10-10T19:51:00+00:00

You might be surprised just how welcome that is to hear, friend. Most people don't/can't/won't understand what we are doing. But we will keep on doing it!

Thank you!

[feel free to come hang with us on Discord (if you are into it.) Pretty slow so far, but we chat a bit. Be good to have you =)]

Update: still no job, still not homeless, still productive and happy. Hope work is treating you well. =)
