Small Space Living. An Elevator To Space Is In The Works In Japan. Image by Kenn Brown Obayashi Corp, a Japanese construction firm, is in the habit of breaking records.
In less than three years they built the Tokyo Sky Tree, Japan’s tallest structure, and one nearly double the height of the previous record holder, Tokyo Tower. The Sky Tree being a few hundred feet shy of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, must have served as some serious competitive motivation, as Obayashi has now revealed that they won’t stop at three, or even four thousand feet.
Or even 10,000 feet. Or 50,000. The remaining height of the structure will reach into space, topped by a counterweight that will sit a quarter of the distance to the moon. Such an ambitious plan raises the question of whether or not it’s actually possible, but architectural feats often seem the things of imagination until you’re actually sitting on a freaking elevator to space, wondering how technology accelerated so fast. @ImYourKid. We already have the technology to send trains into space, at a fraction of the cost of rockets.

Drumroll please…..Introducing our new Deadwood Stove. This little beauty actually has given me great peace of mind since she has walked into our life. If you read my post earlier this week, Not in my backyard, you know that we live in Colorado, where timber is very hard to come by. Mr. G and I have always worried how we would efficiently cook food or boil water if our stove or oven no longer worked.
Now what else do most suburbanites have…a big, shiny gas grill. After much research, we decided on the Deadwood Stove. I know some people are thinking…..why did you not just build your own rocket stove? Here are some specs on this little beauty: 1. Included with the stove is a great picture manual on how to set up your stove. There are many YouTube videos on cooking over the Deadwood Stove, as well as some great information on their website.
The Simple Hedonist. Using minimalism to declutter, destress and focus on what matters. Simple Living Institute - News. Ways Anyone Can Be More Self Sufficient – How to Be Self Sufficient. 1K+ I firmly believe that being self sufficient is one of the most important things a person can do.
We rely on someone else for almost everything in our lives... We rely on the electric companies to keep our homes running. We rely on the propane companies to keep our homes heated. We rely on the grocery stores to keep our families fed. What would happen if one of those resources were suddenly gone? I've heard many excuses over the years....I can't be more self sufficient because I live in the city. 1. 2. Solar Panels, Solar Power Systems & Energy Efficiency.
