Not at all. If you watch the later videos, you'll see me climbing all over the shed frame -- the tensioned bows make the frame strong for the amount of wood used, and the blocks between the bent sides of the bow hold the bow itself rigid.

A good bit of my ideas come from desperation ;)

@@lifetolive_one lol. All the great do.

I think this is probably true, he demonstrated with his actions all the time that he loved his family. In that generation, most men didn't get much training or practice in expressing their feelings. He probably thought criticism was encouragement.

@@lifetolive_one Yep, different times entirely. In his mind he was probably giving constructive criticism.

Batting average *definitely* depends on the type of project :)

Here's the exact Yome I built: redskyshelters.com/ultrayome/

I think the design is Gothic Arch, but the actual thing I built is called a bow roof shed. See here for the instructions I used: bow-roof-shed.com

It's called a Yome -- dome sides, yurt top. Mine is this one: redskyshelters.com/ultrayome/

Translation: Hello. I am also trying to make a structure from such arches. There is a problem. If there is even a small knot on the rail, the rail breaks. How did you solve this problem? Yes, this is indeed a challenge! I broke a few arches when bending them, too, this is actually to be expected. I don't think it's a good idea to reinforce the wood for the arch, as this will probably compromise the arch. My strategy was to try and find the wood in bundles that had the least amount of knots, buy more than needed, and only use the very best pieces of wood for the arches. The pieces with knots, save those for the horizontal and diagonal bracing, because those pieces you can reinforce if you need to. Good luck!

@@lifetolive_one thank you!

Yep, the episodes after this one I do use IBC totes, and I was able to find them reasonably cheap used. Sorry you don't like the music, it's part of the gig for putting together these videos!

I'm sure your music story would explain it., 👍 a stationery excavator makes a good winch or crane. Stick with it, nature is a greedy mistress. Take care my friend.

Thanks for the tips on shower enhancements. Believe it or not, I actually thrive on the cold outdoor showers, I do it all through the winter. The indoor shower is really in case I have company ;) Speaking of company, yes, I would enjoy having a partner out here now. It was important for me to do the first bit myself, but now it would be great to share the experience with someone. I'm dating, but haven't found that right person yet!

Tanslation: Unfortunately, I don’t understand why there are so many 1000 liter containers. But I think I’ll see in the future. I thought I mentioned it somewhere in the series, but to clarify: cut firewood takes time to season before it's ready to be burned -- about half of the containers will contain freshly cut wood, still in the seasoning process, and the other half will contain wood that has already seasoned from previous years. And if I accidentally bought too many, they will be easy to re-sell ;)

К сожалению я не очень хорошо понимаю разговорный английский. Вернее сказать сказать совсем не понимаю. После окончания академии 15 лет тому назад я им не пользовался. И как результат перестал его понимать) @@lifetolive_one

Translation: Unfortunately, I don't understand spoken English very well. Or rather, I don’t understand it at all. I haven't used it since graduating from the academy 15 years ago. And as a result, I stopped understanding. Are you able to use the 'Transcript' feature of RUclips? I'm not sure if it would translate to your language directly, but if not, you could take the English and use translate.google.com to perform the translation for you.

Partial translation: Good morning, I would like to know. How did you treat the wooden arches themselves against rot or did you not treat them with anything? I did not treat the arches themselves at all, they have no contact with the ground, and the moisture is low in the shed because I keep it open most of the time. I did stain the bottom seals, since they are close to the ground, and the stakes that hold the frame to the ground are pressure-treated wood, which should prevent rot.

Translation: In winter, does the snow slide off the greenhouse on its own or does it have to be brushed off? Great question! Sometimes it sticks at the very top, and a simple bump on the inside of the plastic shakes it off. That might not even be necessary, but I've been pretty conservative about snow pileup on my buildings, because the last thing I want is for them to collapse!

You mean for the leftover plastic bins? The problem is they are not very sturdy, hence the need for the iron cage around them ;)

Agreed but if you built wood raised beds they could sit inside to keep the wood from rotting. Just cut very bottom out. I would look nice too. @@lifetolive_one

I'll give this some thought, it's an interesting idea, thanks!

So you're saying I build systems as a coping mechanism?? Nailed it! :P

I write and record my own music for the videos. That piece at 7 minutes is one of the more unusual ones I've written. It's a Kala Ubass, finger snaps, and thigh slaps.

Translation: 👍Congratulations on getting closer to Nature!! Let's watch how the System will destroy itself when those with Consciousness and Abilities leave it🫣 Be Kind, Chad✊️ I worry about this, too. I would not want to go back to the days of the caveman, modern life has solved so many issues, but I don't believe we have collectively paid enough attention to what this easier lifestyle is costing us.

@@lifetolive_one Совершенно Верно и Точно👍 Многие не ценят той простоты, что дал Техничаский Прогрес🫣 и им всё мало... Так можно повторить судьбу др.Рима😔 Быть Добру✊️ P.S.: Весной буду строить купол по типу Вашего🤓

It actually did fine for getting out smell, not so great for getting work clothes clean. But it's really fun and relaxing to use :)

Translation: 3:36 You are the first to build a gothic survival arch with such a Philosophy. In 1965, I lit the stove and carried buckets from the well. Composting and powder/filled toilets are more familiar to me than the “conveniences of civilization.” I can't claim to be the first, because I used plans from bow-roof-shed.com ;) However, there aren't many RUclips videos showing the construction, that's for sure. Sounds like you know how to survive without modern conveniences -- kudos!

Good tip, good tip. :)

Plans for the shed can be purchased here: bow-roof-shed.com

You can find the plans here: bow-roof-shed.com They're pretty good, I had to figure out the end caps myself, otherwise I just followed the instructions.

It's called an UltraYome: redskyshelters.com/ultrayome/ Great company!

Glad I could help, good luck on your project!

I also enjoy working with my hands and seeing the results, obviously ;) Sounds like you have a nice setup there! I also still like programming, though, just gotta balance it with other stuff that's not so heady.

I largely followed the plans available at bow-roof-shed.com -- very helpful!

Pretty much. The plans were vague on the end caps, so I had to improvise there.
