Dome of Many Colors

Filed Under : Alternative Living,dome home,Donations,Gnome Home,Hobbit Hut,Skydome,survival skills by Living Documents
Jul.15,2010
Got a small donation today.  Not a lot BUT ENOUGH to get ANOTHER ROLL OF THE TAPE I PREFER!  10 ROLLS now!  (Had THOUGHT all I needed was THREE!).  Live and Learn.  ( :
Going to put “useless” (weather ripped / etc.) tarps on the dome today.  Will at least help SOME on covering “Pokey Through” Willow “nubbins”.
THEN MORE BLANKETS over them….THEN the heavy GOOD Hay Tarp.  Gotta wait on  the blankets (donations $$) before doing the big tarp though…so will be awhile.  Aho?
As of now, MANY DIFFERENT COLORS  are on.  Will get DECENT Cheap Shop (cheap) WHITE sheets and put these INSIDE…hiding all those various colors.  Aho?
Went “window shopping” and looked a various sized STACKABLE (and “lockable”) Plastic (see through) containers.  Ones that stack from Bottom BIG to progressively SMALL size.  These to be Sky’s Food Storage compartments “Kitchen” area.  RODENT PROOF.  Have a large Ice Cooler for perishables.  He’ll be all set when finished.
Looked at other things as well.  These are “add-ons” to the dome.  I don’t count them as Dome Building cost.  So, with tax…$60.00 will finish the “kitchen” area.
Got a number of free wood pieces yesterday.  All helpful in his dome And any others yet to be.  Always looking and always thinking ahead.  Just couldn’t over-look the FREE opportunity.  Aho?
Sure have a number of BUILD CHEAP li’l abodes in mind.  Show ALL the options THEY can do…on next to nothing.  Aho?
Saw a tall “bucket” too.  Not sure if it can accept the Porta Potty seat.  Would be wise to double up 2…stronger that way.  IF the seat fits right, I’ll get ’em.
So, THINKING ON THE INTERIOR now.  Might as well, need the blankets and sheets before the abode is ready to occupy on a consistent basis.  (CAN be used NOW, IF the boy(s) want to sleep on EARTH for a night).  Aho?
Ok, off to ‘DOING’.

Play Like the Lord – Make Stuff!

Filed Under : Alternative Living,Creator,Gnome Home,Hobbit Hut,Medicine Man,Red Elk Speaks,Spiritual Matters,survival skills,Tellings by Living Documents
Jul.13,2010

To all:  I am really enjoying my “Gnome Home / Hobbit Hut” building.  Very relaxing to me  (despite little help).

To see something emerge from pure imagination to full reality is always….Awesome!

You don’t need to “build a house”…it can be Anything.  Write a book.  Learn to ride a horse.  Do a miniature of an invention idea.  ANYTHING.

“Ye are as gODS” the Good Book says.  What would THAT mean?   INVENTER!  Is but just one Major one.

As a LOVE Follower tho, be very careful of WHAT you ‘invent’.  A good idea Can BACKFIRE!

The MACHINE GUN was invented by a PASTOR…who thought less men would be needed to WAR, with this.  He WANTED to SAVE LIVES!  So what were the end results?  To defeat the enemy(s) the “Leaders” sent MORE MEN against these guns to OVERCOME ‘EM.   Killing THOUSANDS, instead of Less.

See what I mean?

The BEST INTENTIONS can go awry in OTHERS’ hands!   So, BE CAREFUL!

As a Medicine Man, there are many “doings” I’ve learned . “Doings” I DARE  NOT teach / share.  These would be used IN THE WRONG WAY by others. WONDERFUL “secrets”.  Secrets only the Creator “Himself” has / will pick out the RIGHT (hearted) people to have the knowledge of.  Folks “He” can TRUST.

Believe my on THIS statement :  “HE’S” VERY VERY SELECTIVE!

In time, more and more Will be able to know these things as well, too.

Still “down the road” though.

I’m writing this ‘INVENT’ piece to help you Fulfill the DREAMING(s) many have.  To have FUN.  To SEE what you thought could be done, CAN be done.  Aho?

LOOK AT MY DOMES as an example…..10 CENTS for one.  $350.00 for another…and my latest I estimate at Under $200.00!  All, LIVABLE SPACES.

I didn’t need $200,000.00 and UP  (AND the SWEAT of PAYMENTS or TAXES) to do this. Just a Dream it COULD be done, cheaply, given some thought.

So, turn yourself loose….TRY!   and maybe You TOO can “have fun”.   Aho?    re

Another Place for Cabin Advice

Filed Under : Alternative Living,dome home,Gnome Home,Hobbit Hut,Skydome,survival skills by Living Documents
Jul.9,2010

If any are interested in building a “get away” cabin on similar lines to my domes, you can go to Google  SEARCH and type in:

BUILD A SURVIVAL CABIN ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET

This is a HUB….by GHOST32.

Scroll down (past his CABIN Picture).  SOME pictures of mine (#1) are there. Then begin reading the Comments.  MANY ADVICES ARE THERE.

“Ghost” and I have become good friends.  The interaction is very extensive.  He has nearly completed his own cabin MADE OF SAND BAGS.  FAR bigger then the 3 I’m doing.  Has taken him a full year…ALONE!        QUITE INTERESTING!   Building it where illegals cross his land.  Well within site of the Mexican Border in AZ.  It’s like a FORT!  AND extremely cool in their heat.

If you’d like to see more on mine, then go to:

RED ELK SPEAKS (The Tellings of a Medicine Man)

(aka previous posts on this blog.  Check tags ‘dome’, ‘dome home’, ‘tribal living’, ‘Skydome’ and categories ‘dome home’, ‘Hobbit Hut’, and ‘Gnome Home’. – WS)

This has a lot of pictures of #1 and #2.   #3 (SkyDome) pics may be up by the time you look.  Taken…just waiting to be put on by the taker. (past MY abilities!).   This is by far the largest.  More a “home” than a semi-to-temporary (as are #1 and #2). Still, a SMALL “cabin”.

#1 cost me $350.00 TO THE PENNY.  #2…TEN CENTS!  #3 will be UNDER $200.00.

These prices do not include “fancying up” inside (furnishing / etc.).

Each almost all from Found / Given / Collected material (the reason I could build so cheaply).

It’s just a matter of keeping your eyes open and thinking differently (“Out Side The Box”).

BUILDING MATERIALS are “Out There” for all, with these 2 things in mind.

I call these (others planned) because, as man progresses on the path they are on….YOU MAY BE LIVING IN ABODES LIKE THESE (Or your children).

I call this “The village of YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW”

YOU may never do as this, but YOU WILL KNOW IT CAN BE DONE.

Please take advantage of this knowledge.  SHARE IT.  PASS IT ON to friends / needy / homeless.

I “do” in the Old time-honored way of the ancient N.A. Elders ….. ALWAYS OTHERS FIRST

“Money have I none, but that that I DO have, I GIVE UNTO YOU”

I DO SO, FOR YOU!  Aho?    red elk

Don’t See Trash – See Building Material!

Filed Under : Alternative Living,dome home,Gnome Home,Health Tips,Hobbit Hut,Skydome,survival skills,Tellings by Living Documents
Jul.8,2010

As I drive back and forth to the 2 towns we are in-between, my eyes are always looking…my mind always “rolling”.  LOOKING FOR FREE BUILDING MATERIAL.

I see differently than most.  See a field full of stone and “see” a Small Abodes Foundation…or Landscaping…even the Abode, ITSELF.

I watch tree trimming being done…”useless” trees being cut….even big thick branches either being placed in a pile to burn or cut into firewood.

I SEE A LOT OF WASTE!  Waste of PERFECTLY USABLE MATERIAL…but ONLY usable through OUT-SIDE-THE-BOX thinking.

This is not Only at this…I see our States Fish and Game management poisoning BIG ponds…to kill “trash fish”.  EDIBLE “trash” fish…hauled off to rot.  FOOD FOR THE ELDERLY….or recycled into FERTILIZER for someones small garden.

Waste    Waste    WASTE!

Friends, THINK “Outside The BOX”!  Take ADVANTAGE of these things.

Prices are ALWAYS rising.  Just to EAT is expensive.  But KNOWLEDGE is FREE!  Learn to supplement your foods with whats in your back yard…EDIBLE “useless” “weeds” / Etc.

Here our trailer house is not conducive to overnight guests….but now my DOMES EASILY handle them.  A DIME for ONE…$350.00 for another…and yet a 3RD now close to covering / use….for UNDER $200.00!

We no longer need to be apologetic over our home clutter…simply send visitors to experience a private dome.  THEY LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY!  (Primitive as this ‘way’ is).

YOU CAN’T BUILD AN EXTENDED House Room at even the COMBINED “3 dome” PRICE!  And MINE are ALL Code free…ALL no extra TAXES.  AND MOSTLY from FREE Materials!

I do this by keeping my eyes open and THINKING “OUTSIDE THE BOX”!  re

SOn, You Aren’t Just a Sun – You Are All Of Creation

Filed Under : Creator,dome home,e-mail,Gnome Home,Hobbit Hut,Skydome,Spiritual Matters by Living Documents

In response to this post, a brother said:

That makes a lot of sense, Nature sense. Thanks, you know GOD had the twelve tribes circle around the pillar of fire and smoke with their openings to their tents facing the Pillar. GOD bless

Red Elk replied:

Forgot that.  Thank YOU!

If I recall (?) wasn’t JERICHO Circled a number of times before the Hebrews blew their horns?  I don’t recall HOW MANY CIRCLES (if they did).  Do you recall?  Interested (reason WHY too)!  (Hummm, gotta study this).

CIRCLE AROUND SUN…(our solar system)…NA have the SUN DANCE Circle.  BUT they have ALL FORGOTTON the MEANING…sOn DANCE!  CHRIST JESUS IS REPRESENTED BY OUR sUn!  ALL CREATION RADIATES from THE sOn!  The SUN is SYMBOLIC of the SON!

What is the SON Symbolic of?  ETERNAL LIFE!   GB    re

A sister replied to Red Elk:

They marched around the city once a day for 6 days, with seven priests carrying 7 rams’ horns in front of the Ark, and on the 7th day they marched around 7 times, blew the horns, and then the whole of Israel shouted and the walls fell.

Kind of funny that most people wouldn’t consider circles for themselves but don’t think anything of putting plants in them.

Red Elk replied:

Thanks.  Been a long time since I’ve read THOSE passages.

Yes, is odd, isn’t it.   Re

The “CIRCLE”

Filed Under : Alternative Living,Creator,dome home,e-mail,Gnome Home,Hobbit Hut,Skydome,Tellings by Living Documents

My comment on the use of a Circle for sleep / meditation has caused 3 returns.  All 3 wanting to try it but an impossibility in their bedrooms.  This IS a problem.

Ever consider WHY so many NA make a “circled” abode (others, world wide, too)?

IT KEEPS THE BODY “IN TUNE” WITH ALL CREATION!

Our Great Turtle (Mother Earth) and all planets CIRCLE the sun.

It STARTS there.

Many Nature Beings build on that ‘line’.  Birds / Squirrels / Beavers….even schools of many fish swim in vast circling ways.  Many Herds stand against their enemies in a  circle.

We NA observed this and paid attention.

You are not aware that the Pyramids were CIRCLE Set.  Their 4 corners TOUCHED the EDGE of A CIRCLE!

TiPis / Domes / Hogans are Circle “based”.

Why has the “civilized” world gone Square?!

I THINK, for better FURNITURE PLACEMENT!

Circles allow Earth’s wind flows to be less disrupted.  Not so SQUARES!  Squares FIGHT the wind. “STAND AGAINST them….and get KNOCKED DOWN!”  NATURE FIGHTS BACK, in a sense.

To me, square buildings are an offense…AND an ARROGANCE, toward the Creator.  “He” set the circle way up…and MAN STANDS AGAINST “Him”!

If you will note,  The NA Nations that “lived Square” were often the more WAR-LIKE.

Lots to consider, that most never EVEN THINK OF.

Some NA built along the line of a COCKROACH body shape.  Rather low…Round ends, Sloped Walls.

Science says the cockroach has not changed its shape in “ages”…AND say THEY will be the Survivors of nuclear holocausts, as well.

Yes, LOTS to consider.

OK, Can’t “circle” your bed?   THEN CIRCLE YOUR HOUSE!  Even if a COCKROACH “Circle”.  Use PLANTS to “draw your circle”.  Re-design your LANDSCAPE to protect / energize the WHOLE HOUSE!

Then, your Square is IN a CIRCLE!

Just as are the pyramids.       re

Going Truly ‘Green’

Filed Under : Alternative Living,dome home,Gnome Home,Hobbit Hut,Medicine Man,Red Elk Speaks,Tellings by Living Documents
Jun.29,2010

We’ve “busted” our old piping under our kitchen sink.  $$ lack = IMPROVISing is needed ‘til………….

I have an oval shaped plastic tool carrier.  2 compartments. One per side….carrying handle between.

Washed it, filled one side with dish soap water…the other side used to rinse.  WORKS LIKE A CHARM!  Even pots and pans and frying pans.

Bio-degradable soap and NATURAL Soap Weed isn’t in our area.

Using ALOT LESS WATER TOO!

Was intending to use this in the domes.  Thought it would “do”.  Now have Proof of it!  PTL!

I “trash” the water in the septic Leech Field.  Can’t afford Bio-Degradable soap and NATURAL ‘Soap Weed’ isn’t available in our area.

Didn’t know such was even ‘THERE’?   LOTS we don’t know (myself included).  My own “Indian Awareness” is forefront in my life, so I STUDY….and LOTS of study, at that.  Wanna learn?  Can you READ?  Well, START READING, then Get OUT THERE and TEST!

You’ll both save $$ and Enjoy being OUTDOORS at the same time! Helps make LIFE less Stressful.  THERAPEUTIC to your Inner Being.

While looking into NA “dish washing” ways of the Ancestors…look about our POT SCRUBBERS, too.  HORSE TAIL “weeds”!

READ  HUNT  TEST.  “Dad” has ALWAYS provided.  WHY DO YOU RELY ON EXPENSIVE Man-Done things?!!  GB    re

“Mistakes”

Filed Under : Alternative Living,dome home,Gnome Home,Hobbit Hut,Tellings by Living Documents
Jun.24,2010
If any are considering building a small “Hobbit Hut”….keep this ALWAYS IN MIND:    There are NO MISTAKES!  “Mistakes” just = CHARACTER,  in one of these.  Work WITH ‘EM.
With this in mind, let your imagination ROLL.  So SIMPLE building one of these…once THAT’S understood.  So MUCH SO, you are an “Instant” BUILDING CONTRACTOR!  Aho?   ( :

SKYDOME Report

Filed Under : Alternative Living,dome home,Gnome Home,Hobbit Hut,Skydome by Living Documents
Jun.22,2010

BEAUTIFUL DAY.  A “DO” day.  Cut Sky’s Bed Ledge front.  Leaving a narrow storage “shelf” beside the bed.  On now level main floor will go his 2 seat/table with back to ledge wall.  (There are 2 of these)…the other will be across from this set.

WAS going to dig a storage spot for the portable fire pit but instead have a better place below his Tri-Pod “pots/pans/etc.” area.  Easier to get to when wanted.  Pull it out to middle of floor for “campfire”.  LOTS of inner floor space for this.

Added an upright in a gap.  Will take and move 2 or 3 from circle.  This is going to make that side FAR more WIND RESISTANT.  (The Worse direction to wind).

One upright sprung out of its hole.  MY FAULT.  FORGOT to set THAT ONE Deep!  Easy to fix…slip a PVC “sleeve” on it…dig the deeper hole…put sleeve in and press that into hole.  PTL!

Meachelle came out to see.  LIKES the CHANGES.

Don’t know about Sky tho.  He stays inside and plays his %!##@ games.

That’s ok…taken His Plan and expanded it for better use.  Like it or not…that’s the way it WILL be!  Aho?

He doesn’t know about the added on Toilet area.  WON’T like it!  WILL tho when winter comes!  Either THERE or a COLD WALK to the Other Outhouse.  ( :

Will go add more willow horizontals in a bit.  LOTS of them!  Then will use what wire I have left…do the Top and both Windward sides.  Willows will have to do the rest.  Aho?

Still trying to keep the price down.  Aho?

Used all but 2 PVC pipes.  CLEANING UP THE “TRASH” LOOK of our “yard”.

M, in looking about…”sees” yet ANOTHER dome…darn near filling up the area.  A True “VILLAGE”!

Can, but can ALSO make THAT as a SWEAT LODGE!  (or do both).

Have enough salvage to do this AND 2 OR 3 OTHER Places….AND the room FOR ‘em…withOUT “crowding”.

Yup, a VILLAGE!

Creator knows, “as is”, right NOW, I’ve plenty of “Guest(S)” Room!   ( :  ( :

Skydome sleeps one (on the ledge) n 2 to 3 ON THE FLOOR (if wanted / needed). Add THOSE and STILL SPACE TO MOVE ABOUT…this is THAT BIG!!!

Using 4 inch foam rubber as the “mattresses”.  ON HAND (freebys) ones.   ( :

Just more “trash” around this place.  Aho?

Turning Trash into Treasure….USEABLE treasure.  PTL!

So that’s “it” for now.  GB    re

P.S. on Dome vs. Tipi

Filed Under : Alternative Living,dome home,Gnome Home,Hobbit Hut,Skydome by Living Documents

PS on Dome / Tipi

I apologize.  Failed to mention WATER (domes):  I DIG AN OUTER TRENCH AROUND PERIMETER OF DOMES….GRAVEL…then STRETCH THE COVE  B E Y O N D the TRENCH.

So far has done an EXCELLENT JOB.  IF doesn’t, yet an INSIDE trench is being thought.  This on INSIDE of my Wall.

ALL trenching MUST be SLOPED to LOWEST PART OF LAND the dome is at.  Leading the trench BEYOND the Entryway.  Aho?

We’ve had some HEAVY rains.  So far, not a problem.

I DO DITTO TO MY Tipis!   Aho?     re
