More Capital Destined for the Dump... of course I took what I needed 😉

Off-Grid Living has been a hard but fun transition so far!

I've been so busy these last few days, it's GREAT! I haven't had much time to spend on Steemit or my faforite Discord groups (I think you all know who you are!), but on top of clearing more brush, making sense of our home, building a shed, seeing family and helping a friend, I did get more junk or Treasure... depends on how you look at it.

Don't mind the mig welder, it didn't come out of a junk pile... I wasn't THAT lucky!

This handy little cart came out of my friend's junk pile. He is moving to California and was sorting through a bunch of broken and cumbersome things...

The turning wheels were detatched from it's pin. It had rusted off some years ago and been sitting around waiting for me to weld it back together!!!

All I had to do was flip the axle around, sand off the paint and weld the pin back on. That was an easy fix!

Please don't look too hard at my weld... it's been a while (apart from the day before when I welded up a frame for an airconditioner to fit inside a bus).

She works like a charm now and I think I would like to paint her up for my kid, it'll be fun for the festival we're going to at the end of the month!


The next pieces of treasure also come from this pile destined for the dump. They are various lengths of hemp rope ranging from 10 feet to 20 feet. The beauty about these are their thicknesses. A lot of them are the really thick stuff you'd see on a pirate ship!

I'm not sure yet what I'll do with these yet, but it will be an interacting art project for sure! And I even told myself I wasn't collecting anything I didn't have an immediate use for (thanks to @mountainjewel for that re-enforcment for not hoarding non-sense things). I couldn't help myself with that one though, it will be a good project, I promise.


He gave me an almost new post driver (pretty and pink!) and a big working drill press... those items were definitely not destined for the dump and I told him that if he ever comes back to New York they're his. Think of it as these tools being safegarded untill your return, my friend!

Now, the Cherry on top of the cake:

20171220_080343.jpgPhoto was taken back in november 2017, but those are some of the chickens!

His is leaving behind a dozen chickens and a coop, and yes, they are for the new homestead!!! This is so exciting and scary at the same time!

I don't know what to do with grown chickens! Or not grown for that matter...

I don't know if I'm ready for chickens yet, there is so much work to be done. But I will take them as they need a new home and we want chickens. It's just a much bigger commitment!!!

It's not a big rush, someone is taking care of them but I should pick them up sooner than later...

I feel so rich today, all of that stuff could have cost me so many coins!!! Again, take advantage of Material Capital (the stuff), and Living Capital (the chickens) when you see the oportunity. Keep your eyes open and please tell me what you come up with.

See you next time!
