Biography

Hello there!
I've long felt the 'call to cultivate'. I found Paul and his stuff in 2017, and have been steadily watching and learning since.
I'm a Pod People, and have listened to all the numbered podcasts, up to #514.
I've visited Wheaton Labs several times now! Simply put, it's awesome.
I (still) feel pretty un-knowledgable about a lot (all?) of this stuff, but I'm really excited to learn, and learn, and learn.
That's part of why I am really into SkIP and PEP; because I can learn, and also because it is awesome.
My big-wild-crazy-scary-to-say-out-loud dream is to live in a town with no cars that can feed itself, even if I have to build it myself.

Accountability thread: the "public house" project

I love your idea, and how you've described it. What you've written helps me clarify the ways I want to create community in my own home, as well.

I'm excited to see how your project progresses!

Repair Flat on Front Wheel of Bicycle - PEP BB tool.sand.fronttire

Another flat, another BB:

I used a new tube to repair the flat. Per usual, needed a wrench to take the wheel off. I thought I would need the tire clips, but I wound up just using my hands to get the tire/tube on and off.

"Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (less than two minutes):
- flat front tire
- repairing a flat front tire
- inflated and reinstalled (mounted on bike) good tire
- show/describe the materials used to repair the tire"

PEP BB homesteading.sand.little.screen - Repair a Window Screen

Disaster has struck. And Gnomes. Well, just one.

Here are my:
- a picture of the broken window screen
- a picture of the materials you're using for the repair
- a picture of the repair in progress
- a picture of the completed window screen repair

Thankfully the screen wasn't torn when it fell, so I re-installed the existing screen and gasket rubber with the blunt part of an olfa.

Exciting Updates to Dailyish Freebies!!!!

He's posted it, here: permies.com/t/119152#2384880

I just was wondering if this (or a different thread) was the right place to send him, and I don't know the troubleshooting formula for the freebie stuff.

Exciting Updates to Dailyish Freebies!!!!

I have someone who hoped to get the PEP Badge tracker as a dailyish freebie.

May I bring their post to this thread so we can sort things out together?
