Shawn, You see, belatedly, I used to have a shirt just like the red one. Inside it, it said something like Canadian Lumberjack Wear..... it's a long time ago. When I went to university in 1979, my Uncle John, who had been stationed in Canada during WW2 was worried about me. He gave me this red check shirt, same pattern as yours, thick as a blanket and said "This will keep you warm!" It was from the war years!! He was not wrong. In London it was like an overcoat!! Every time I see the red shirt, I remember him! A great man who watched out for me. He died a few years ago aged 96, an engineer and RAF veteran. What a man, memory and reminder. Regards Stephen.

Love you are re-purposing those windows. Just a tip on re-glazing (you may already know): remove all the old glazing compound (putty) down to the wood. Sometimes this means removing the glass and putting down a new thin bed of putty to set the glass on. Scrape the wood bare and treat with boiled linseed oil+ turpentine (about 4:1) until the wood can soak in no more. If you can, let it cure for a few days. Apply glazing compound (NOT caulk), let it develop a skin, then coat with a light amount of linseed mix. Let dry thoroughly before painting (oil paint is best IMO). You may never need to do them again in your lifetime. The ones I did 40 yrs ago are still like new. The dry wood otherwise draws the oil out of the glazing compound and causes it to dry out and crack. Found this in an old house restoration book from the 1950's or 60's. Carry on... Namaste

The most effective way, for me personally, to lessen the impact that your clothes purchases make on the planet is to buy pre-owned clothes. Or as we call them in my clan 'thrifty store bargoons'. To reuse a product that has already been used has a far better impact. Its also cheaper. I am currently wearing a lovely grey merino wool sweater that I purchased at my local thrift store for $5. Its warm and beautiful and in my price range. The bottom line is that all any of use can do is our best

Shawn, As a Glass man here in California. We take them Wood sash windows and DBL them up to make Dual pane windows. That will work in your case because combined they should only be 31/4 over all. I run a bead of caulking on one side and then sandwich them together together and then run some screws thru them or put a wood Vice on each side and let them dry. I did a complete house like that because the owner wanted to keep the old look. He was, as U was completely surprised of the Insulating value. The further the distance between each pane, The better the insulating value. Just thought I would toss that at you. best wishes from my family to you and your's...

When I was in Egypt I was told that people were encouraged to live in homes built of concrete because they were told it was durable and modern, and the kick backs for contractors from government of course. . A lot of villagers abandoned their concrete homes and went back to building in mud brick because mud is plentiful and free by the Nile, it is cool in summer and warm in winter, concrete is exactly the opposite. I think this is a good example of how sustainability must be allied to terrain. We have to build homes using materials that are plentiful in our own country, Wood in Canada mud brick in Egypt, it’s also, like the tiny house movement, a good way to maintain citizenship freedom from control by the state through over regulation.

@gerryheynes5082 5 жыл бұрын

David Floer that’s a good idea if Shawn has the extra casements. A vacuum or special gas isn’t essential for good thermal insulation, as I’m sure you know. They take the air out, or put gas in between double panes because they are so close together and cold/heat would get transmitted quickly between them. Increase the amount of still air/distance between the panes and the insulation value goes up. Thermals will start inside with the difference in temperature between the panes, so they will transmit some heat/cold, and they will need cleaning inside if they open separately, but they are still a good option. Regards, Gerry

A young friend of mine here in Sydney Australia, owns 2 Dingo Dogs (which are taller than Cali but have similar fur including the fluffy fur both sides of her tail). He was asking if he could use their fur to make something, because when they molt twice a year, it's enough fur to make a mat. I used to be a farmer (and I'm a 4th generation farmer) I explained that if he mixed the fur with some Merino Sheep's Wool he will be able to make a felt vest, he was really interested when I told him it would be cool in the summer, warm in the winter and shower poof in light rain.

Have you considered purchasing some merino sheep? You're sister could look after them for you and then you could spin your own yarn from it. And the resale value of it could really help you out too. I'd also recommend you look into kashmir goats and angora rabbits for resale value of the fibers if you're interested in that route. Also alpaca wool has some interesting features that you might like as well as their wool is hollow. Keep up the great work, Shawn.

Interesting response about buying quality even if it initially cost a little more. The best bargains I have ever found were high quality items, cars, stereo, furniture, that I have kept and used for decades. They are so much less expensive they are worth the wait and effort to buy. One of the best ways to impact the environment is by the quality and stop throwing stuff away. We are such a throw away society today it is scary. Good shoes should last 20-30 years, good wool clothes 10-20 years, a well made car 15 years, not 3, a well made rifle 50-75 or more years.

Hi Shawn, I find this videos topic of discussion very interesting as I am personally trying to switch to using clothes which are made from natural fibres as much as possible. There has been a great deal of publicity in recent times on the plastic waste problem plaguing the planet and I only recently started to discover the effect of synthetic fibres used in clothing.. the most recent article I read suggested that the average washing machine cycle releases an unbelievable 17 million micro plastic fibres in to the waste water! Crazy! Like you mentioned though it is hard to find ethically sourced natural fibres but at least when you wash them they don’t get into the water supply and cause damage there. Regards, Robert.
