We have a lot to be thankful for this year! Hacking an existence out of the desert is no easy task, so it makes us appreciate all the more the little wins along the way that add up to something significant. I want to highlight some of the simple things that are paying dividends.
We’re happy to have completed our second dome this summer! With this third and final report I hope to have provided a good overview of the process for anyone considering it. (See Part 1 and Part 2.) With a team of seven you can build one of these small domes in about a week, but …
In this post:
– I recently posted a personal ad on behalf of our rooster, Big Red. No responses yet, but we’re still looking.
– Summer is finally winding down and so are many of our projects. High temperatures this week are in the 70°s, which are the lowest we’ve had since probably April or May.
– Today is our 25th wedding anniversary!
Over the last month we’ve had an influx of new subscribers as word is getting out about what we’re doing. Unfortunately, after publishing weekly, educational blog posts for almost a year, this is the first update we’ve provided in a few months. We’ve just become too busy this summer to stay up on it. But …
One of our goals is to become self-supporting. The plan is for revenue to be generated through food sales. But we have to grow it first! In order to do that, we have to build a fence that will keep out rabbit, javelina, coyote, and deer. That will cost a pretty penny. I poured all …

But because they captured government schools and other influential institutions so long ago, they are able to get away with it. Most Americans were taught …
With this dome build I’m trying to take pictures of all the key steps involved and include basic explanations in a series of articles. If you’re just interested in the process or are considering this option, these articles give a good overview of everything involved. But if you were going to build a Superadobe or …
God gave you a body. How are you stewarding this responsibility? If you read my first two articles on health optimization, you might be left feeling a little hopeless. But it was actually a case of, “First the bad news, and now the good news.” In this first article on healing I provide some practical …
Do you know how fast your local grocery store would run out of food if trucking stopped for some reason? Three days in the average American city. Combine this with the fact that most Americans have been priced out of chemical-free, nutrient-rich food and we have a “real food” problem! Many years ago this wasn’t …
Quick update on dome build status, but first check out the flowering prickly pear cactus near the dome that has yellow, orange, and pink blooms all on the same plant! When we built a dome last year I kind of waited until we were pretty much done and then did a reveal. This time I’m …
