  1. Hotel Pool Passes, Flooring Frustrations & Bitcoin's Latest "Death" | LOTS 891

    Hotel Pool Passes, Flooring Frustrations & Bitcoin's Latest "Death" | LOTS 891

    This week starts with cabin cleanup and a reality every builder eventually faces: everybody has advice and half of it contradicts the other half. I'm getting ready for flooring installation and trying to sort through the endless opinions on subfloor prep, skim coating, underlayment, and what actually matters versus what just costs more money. Then we dive into a surprisingly heated local debate about a new hotel selling day passes to its infinity pool. Great business idea? Maybe. Great experience for paying hotel guests? That's another question. We also spend time talking Bitcoin, Blockstream's new Jade Core wallet, Fold's growing ecosystem, and why price drops tend to create more opportunity than panic. If you enjoy practical projects, independent thinking, Bitcoin, and occasional rants about things that don't make sense, you'll probably enjoy this one. 🔗 SUPPORT THE LOTS PROJECT 🟠 Fold App (Earn Bitcoin on Everyday Spending) Join my Spin Squad and get $10 in Bitcoin after your first debit card purchase: https://use.foldapp.com/r/FANEWETX 🔐 Blockstream Jade Hardware Wallets Jade • Jade Plus • Jade Core Use code THELOTSPROJECT for 10% off: https://rewards.blockstream.com/thelotsproject 📡 Echo Radios Minimal cell coverage.

  2. The Cabin Is Finally Dried In, Enterprise Gets Self-Aware, and America Gets Weird

    Jun 1

    The Cabin Is Finally Dried In, Enterprise Gets Self-Aware, and America Gets Weird

    The cabin hit a major milestone this week. After months of learning, climbing ladders, making mistakes, fixing mistakes, and figuring things out one project at a time, the trim is finally finished and the cabin is officially dried in. That leads into a bigger conversation about learning new skills, solving problems without experts, and why YouTube may be the most valuable trade school ever created. We also dive into Tennessee's blooming mimosa trees, the arrival of summer heat, an Enterprise commercial that accidentally highlights everything frustrating about renting vehicles, the Great American State Fair controversy, Bitcoin price predictions, the new Blockstream Jade Core, and a communications solution that might actually make sense for off-grid and low-signal living. If you're building your own path, questioning systems, or just trying to get things done while the world gets stranger, this one's for you.

    Massie Fallout, Cabin Progress & The Steroid Olympics | LOTS 889

    This episode starts with anniversary week and porch furniture… and somehow ends with steroid-enhanced athletes, collapsing Middle East peace talks, and the political machine steamrolling Thomas Massie. Pretty standard 2026 conversation. We talk about: 10 years married and the journey from Minneapolis suburbs to off-grid Tennesseea huge week of cabin progressporch trim struggles and finally seeing the place come togetherwhy we changed our solar and utility plansthe Massie Kentucky primary and what it says about modern politicsgrowing disillusionment with establishment narrativesmarket manipulation around war headlinesand the launch of the Enhanced Games — aka the open-steroid Olympics This one feels less like a “news episode” and more like watching modern civilization slowly turn into a sci-fi movie while trying to build a normal life outside of it.

    The Cabin’s Wrapped, the Media’s Panicking & I Apparently Say “Ope” Now

    The cabin officially has sheet metal on all four sides, and now comes the phase where confidence slowly turns into second-guessing your own decisions. This episode gets into: wrapping up the exterior metal worklearning construction skills in real timewhy I already think I may redo part of the porch trimlocal Tennessee radioa morning host voice that nearly breaks mehantavirus headlines everywhereEbola quietly returning to the conversationCuba allegedly building drone capabilitiesoil shortage rumors tied to Middle East instabilityand how modern media seems completely addicted to fear. There’s also a solid discussion about how public trust collapsed after COVID and why people increasingly question institutional narratives instead of blindly accepting headlines. Plus: Apparently living in Minnesota permanently added “ope” to my operating system.

    The Laundromat Was Worse Than the Ladder | LOTS Project Morning Show 887

    Some weeks you make solid progress. Other weeks you realize the real problem isn’t building a cabin… it’s dealing with people. This episode starts with a win—figuring out a scaffolding + ladder setup that actually worked without killing me—and then takes a hard left into one of the most frustrating laundromat trips I’ve had in a long time. From there it spirals into a bigger question: Are things actually getting crazier, or are we just paying more attention? We get into hantavirus, the way the media handles this stuff, and why it feels eerily familiar. Then zoom out into what’s going on globally—war, oil, and the incentives behind it all. No polished narrative. Just real-time observations from someone trying to build something while everything else feels like it’s slipping sideways.

  6. Gas Jumps 50¢ Overnight… While Chickens Become the New “Threat”

    Gas Jumps 50¢ Overnight… While Chickens Become the New “Threat”

    Gas goes up 50 cents in a single day… and nobody really questions it anymore. Meanwhile, headlines are pushing a “backyard chicken problem” based on 34 cases across the entire country. In this episode, we break down both—what’s real, what’s noise, and why it feels like the focus is always in the wrong place. On top of that, real progress on the cabin build: two full sides wrapped in metal, a few mistakes, a few do-overs, and a lot of figuring things out as we go. This one’s a mix of boots-on-the-ground reality and stepping back to look at the bigger picture most people don’t question. ☕ Coffee: Food Forest Farms (code LOTS10) 🌱 Comfrey Roots: ComfreyRoots.com ₿ Hardware Wallets: https://rewards.blockstream.com/thelotsproject Affiliate links may be included.

  7. AI Deciding If You Can Drive, Cabin Progress & a Massive Hickory

    AI Deciding If You Can Drive, Cabin Progress & a Massive Hickory

    You ever notice how the story is always about “safety”… until you actually see how it gets used? This episode starts with real progress—finally getting a full side of the cabin done and figuring out window trim the hard way. Then it shifts into something a lot of people are just starting to notice: AI creeping into vehicles and deciding whether you’re “fit to drive.” It sounds reasonable on the surface. It usually does. We also get into a real-world example of surveillance tech being used… and what it was actually used for. Not what they promised—what it actually caught. And in between all that: Dropping a massive hickorySplitting it the hard wayPrepping the next phase of the property It’s a mix of real work, real observations, and connecting dots most people ignore. 🌱 Comfrey Roots https://ComfreyRoots.com 🔐 Blockstream Jade https://rewards.blockstream.com/thelotsproject If you use those links, I may earn a small commission—no extra cost to you.

    I Launched a Hammer… and Found a Better Business

    Some weeks you make progress. Some weeks you make progress and realize how much stuff is broken—tools, systems, and people. This one had both. The cabin is finally starting to come together. Metal is going up, problems are getting solved, and things are actually looking like a real structure. At the same time: I managed to smash my thumb repeatedly and send a hammer flyingTurned a simple weed eater swap into a full-blown headacheAnd dealt with two completely different service experiences that couldn’t have been further apart One shop wasted my time and didn’t care. The other one showed exactly how things should be done. There’s a lesson in that… whether you’re building something, running a business, or just trying to get things done without dealing with incompetence. If you’ve ever: Tried to figure things out yourselfDealt with people who clearly don’t careOr learned something the hard way You’ll get something out of this one. ☕ Coffee → https://FoodForestFarms.com (code LOTS10) 🌱 Comfrey → https://ComfreyRoots.com ₿ Bitcoin Wallet → https://rewards.blockstream.com/thelotsproject 💬 Telegram → https://t.me/LOTSChat Affiliate links may be included.
