17/ this ecological argument is tempting, but bad and wrong. I explain in depth in my homesteading books https://www.amazon.com/Escape-City-1-Travis-Corcoran/dp/B093BC3K1T … https://twitter.com/sandrewdunn/status/1413868398153502720 …

28/ Take a timber framing class. Sharpen chisels and hand planes. Help carry 500 lb timbers. Knock the mortises and tenons together by hand using a massive hammer "persuader" made from a log. Tie ropes to the bents and pull them into position.

29/ I've done all of this, and more. I've helped build conventional houses, and I've helped build an alternative (timberframe) house. Get some callouses. Get some splinters. THEN I will listen to your opinions on this stuff.

31/ TY! Stick building optimized for industrial scale. It's almost free to cut a tree into 2x4s and then the 2x4s are easy to move. Timberframe requires much less sawing, more hand work. Results are beautiful. I like TF, would use it in this scenariohttps://twitter.com/looking5452/status/1413879869000323076 …

32/ this sounds like a long and fascinating and ultra rewarding path! best of luck to you; you're going to love and (hate ! :) every day of it, and no other project will be as rewarding or make you as proud when you're done.https://twitter.com/looking5452/status/1413882611487870976 …

Somehow I cannot imagine some of these steps happening without obligatory swearing.
