I uploaded this about nine minutes ago. http://www.youtube.com/paulwheaton12#p/u/0/UxCfU7L-2X0

The bullock brothers farm has folks paying to work on their farm. And folks are lining up. And I've met these folks: hard workers that love the experience at the farm. Usually they have saved up for the first summer, and sometimes they get other jobs to continue living/working there. I just now...

I would guess that the cross brace walls would later become solid walls.

I've had a lot of people asking me to push this up to youtube, and .... presto! Whining pays! This is a pole structure with a thick earthen roof. Under construction. This is a design by the popular eco building author Mike Oehler. And it is on Mike's land - it will be his latest creation...

Imagine having a digester at your home that might be able to provide heat, cooking fuel and/or fuel for your car. All from your ... uh ... compostables. :) Oh, sure, biodiesel is cool - but this would be even better since you don't have to go all over town looking for ingredients. Nor do...

Hot off the press! This video is a response to three different requests from people: 1) "I didn't see how the roof was built in the rumford video" - this video has footage immediately after that, the structure is similar and there is a lot more of looking at it. 2) I have a lot of cedar, what...

I just uploaded this. I think this is a rather simple, elegant and cheap (!!) design for a solar food dryer. http://www.youtube.com/paulwheaton12#p/u/0/5U1JgAkW-xY

I just now uploaded this. This is an outdoor rumford designed to replace a campfire. People can circle around, not get smoke in their eyes and stay dry and warm even when it is raining. This is at "The Homestead" in Oregon, right next door to "cobville"...

In future videos I guess I need to be more careful about my feet! It never occurred to me that people would talk this much about feet! So now I had to go look at the video to see if my feet were doing anything weird. Yup .... I'm barefoot and in the kitchen. And with my pie belly, I might...

This video has gotten me some unusual feedback. It never occurred to me that I doing this barefoot until now. A previous comment still posted on the video, is about my hands.

Soitenly: http://www.richsoil.com/pancakes.jsp Are you able to get even heat under your pan?

1) the article goes into a lot more detail, but in short: don't use wood, use stainless steel. 2) Did you read my article on sourdough pancakes? Pancakes have always been easy - never a challenge. Are you having trouble? I was thinking about making a new video showing a pan where stuff is...

I didn't see the movie. The book was .... disturbing. As for the eggs on cast iron: did you see the video? That's the proof. Especially the cleanup.

Hot dog! You really did read it! I've had some people not read it saying it is too long. But there is just so much to say on the topic!

I just now noticed that my cast iron video has over 20,000 views! http://www.youtube.com/paulwheaton12#p/u/20/K3hGxEpuY2U About six or seven years ago I became obsessed with my eggs sticking. After freaky amounts of research, I wrote a rather extensive article...

Hot off the press! http://www.youtube.com/user/paulwheaton12#p/u/0/Ok1JyTPYWJ0

I just now uploaded this! If enough folks rate and comment on it in the first 24 hours, it apparently activates some sort of youtube magic and then our homesteading stuff gets a few minutes of fame in front of the general public! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtFvdMk3eLM Thanks!

I think no place is perfect. I think this is one of those things where the upsides outweigh the downsides. And, if nothing else, I feel I learned a lot of stuff that I had never knew was out there to be learned!

I just finished pushing these two videos up to youtube. The last cob house is the biggest and the total cost was $10,000. And was designed with the idea that anybody can build their own home. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qzX1jUWa_s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2YD4PenDxI
