December 7: (1) Having a conversation and planning session tonight about changing the business structure to make it more flexible with regard to whose working and ability to be more mobile. Will come up with concrete plans. (2) Downloaded PDFs on earthbag building (https://the-mud-home-courses.teachable.com/p/the-mud-building-pdf-package/) because I really, really want a non-toxic home we can design ourselves. Current tiny home has mold problems. Not good. Also would be optimal to have more land, even if it’s just an acre or a little less. (3) Printed out a sheet to help me plan a year’s worth of food storage. Already made strides toward that, but need to round it out and make sure it doesn’t need freezers/electricity to stay good. Trying to stay away from higher-tech stuff. Don’t want everything to spoil when the power goes out. (4) Starting a review of my favorite resources – like the one above and http://www.lowtechmagazine.com, http://www.notechmagazine.com, permies.com, books like “Honey from a Weed” by Patience Gray. There are a lot more. I need to organize my resources. (5) Listened to a presentation on using herbal infused oils. Need to get more details and write some stuff down and then practice it.
