Edge case submission
Spent the night in the Little Red Shed here at WL for 2 nights. Lovely experience! Super cozy and you can tell there's been a lot of work and love put into it.

I didn't take a picture of the temp, but by the end of my last addition of wood the thermometer was showing 92deg! Suuuuuper cozy lol, had to open the windows!

The Sauna at Wheaton Labs is a great way to unwind after a week alongside the boots.

This BB requires you to start and operate a j-tube rocket mass heater for one hour. You are not required to build your own rocket mass heater but you will need access to one.

I’ve started many rockets but never got the right documentation. This post is special to me because I started a rocket that I built! Yay! No leaks and clear exhaust!

I'm pursuing SKIP to inherit property, check it out for yourself: SKIP book or maybe you're my Otis/Otessa match?
I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!
I attended Helen's Garden Master Course in January 2022 and give the lectures 10/10 acorns! Fortunately for you, you can also see the Garden Master recordings but unfortunately you'll miss out on the fruit Helen brought to sample.

Natural gas heat uses 20 tons out of 30. This tiny ad is carbon neutral.
