    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.

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

    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.

    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.

  4. 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.

  5. I Launched a Hammer… and Found a Better Business

    APR 20

    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.

  6. Cabin Build Delayed by Cannon Fire, Metal Siding Lessons & Trail-Clearing Upgrades

    APR 13

    Cabin Build Delayed by Cannon Fire, Metal Siding Lessons & Trail-Clearing Upgrades

    The cabin finally got its first metal on this week… which should have been the big story. Instead, progress got sidelined by literal cannon fire because apparently that’s a normal sentence in Tennessee. In this episode, Brian breaks down the first round of siding installation, mistakes and lessons learned with the metal, unexpected trim issues, and why the new trail-clearing setup may be one of the best property-management upgrades yet.

  7. Cabin Delays, a Rare Win, and Why Are We Going Back to the Moon?

    APR 6

    Cabin Delays, a Rare Win, and Why Are We Going Back to the Moon?

    The cabin didn’t move forward this week—and not for any of the reasons you’d expect. A simple mistake stalled the build, which turned into one of those weeks where you realize how fragile progress actually is. At the same time, I had one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had in years… which shouldn’t be rare, but somehow is. And then there’s the bigger question: We’re spending billions to go back to the moon. Why? We get into all of it—plus some updates from the property, food forest progress, and a few thoughts on where things seem to be heading. If you’re building, questioning, or just trying to stay sane while everything gets more complicated… this one’s for you.

  8. Cabin Progress, Flock Cameras and the Price of the War Machine

    MAR 30

    Cabin Progress, Flock Cameras and the Price of the War Machine

    The cabin took another step forward this week. Metal is ordered. That should feel like a clean win, except the water tank deal disappeared almost immediately, so now the plan shifts again. From there, this episode goes where it naturally had to go: Flock cameras, license plate readers, AI policing, and why people should stop pretending these systems only get used on the “right” targets. The story about the Tennessee woman jailed over bad facial recognition makes that point better than any slogan ever could. Then it shifts into oil, gas prices, and the cost of another conflict that regular people are expected to absorb without asking too many questions. So this one covers cabin progress, water planning, surveillance creep, AI failure, fuel prices, and the usual reality check on how the machine actually runs. 🌱 Comfrey Roots: https://comfreyroots.com 🔐 Blockstream Jade: https://rewards.blockstream.com/thelotsproject 💬 Telegram Community: https://t.me/LOTSChat ⚠️ Affiliate Disclaimer: Some links may be affiliate links.
