13/ FWIW, I'd be amazed if Gnon has ever built shit in his life. He doesn't talk like a guy who knows a hawk from a handsaw.https://twitter.com/upstatefederlst/status/1440421103319465986 …

15/ > a hawk from a handsaw referencing Hamlet, of course > "I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw." hawk = a mason's platter of mortar handsaw = handsaw also pun bc wind / bird hawk / tool hawk

silicon age tulpa @mr_archenemyReplying to @MorlockPi think you guys proceed from different assumptions, his something like "you're in a civilization and there's division of labor and a market" so you can get stones from a quarry and yours "i alone have survived the apocalypse and must create things utterly from scratch"1 reply 0 retweets 19 likesShow this thread -

17/ he explicitly says "the stone is free" because he thinks that you can just pick up squared off quarry stone out of the dirt because he knows absolutely nothinghttps://twitter.com/wrathofgnon/status/1440337777187442697 …

Wrath Of Gnon @wrathofgnonReplying to @SeanByers1015A sack of lime is seven quid (you'll need a couple or more depending on how well you cut your stone). The stone is free. The roof tiles are cheap or free second hand. Rafters etc. made from round timber (cheap or free). The bricks are not strictly necessary but. And so on.11 replies 0 retweets 47 likesShow this thread -

19/ Great book! Also, as I mentioned at
@based_con over the weekend: the title of that book was inspiration, via a bit of wordplay, for the title of my first novel.https://twitter.com/EricMertz_KC/status/1440424931372646403 …ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs added,

20/ also, since we're point out how WoG doesn't know crap about crap: you can't use lime alone to hold stones together. Among other reasons, a mortar of lime + water will be too soft and will squish out under the weight of courses of stone. Need sand.https://twitter.com/undrbedMonster/status/1440425325708525572 …

22/ Also, as I read this thread on pick and shovel work, I'm reminded of the time a few years back when Patrick of P_pehat was trying to subtweet me and used the phrase "soft handed nazi". I guess he reflected for a moment and then deleted the tweet.

23/ yeah, I'm sorta tempted to offer him a $10k challenge to build a coop that looks like that, in less than 2 weeks ...but he wouldn't even try, so why bother?https://twitter.com/coinaday1/status/1440427661306646533 …

Another line would be to ask to see Gnon's stone chicken coup, since it's apparently a $20 weekend hobbyist project.-

Caleb Jordan Schulz @Based_JediReplying to @Manicton @MorlockP @based_conIt's heavy work. And if you buy all your stone it's not cheap. If you plan to get all your own stone, it's a LOT of work. Most people don't have a quarry handy. So you have to dig up/gather thousands and thousands of lbs of stone, haul it to your site, cut it to fit, etc.3 replies 0 retweets 18 likesShow this thread
