House building size insanity

[NorthernRaider]

I note with interest that since the trend to swing away from bugging out to bugging in more good threads are appearing dealing with homes both urban and rural and how people are tweaking them to optimise them for prepping and self sufficiency. Now people are more focussed on bugging in I notice also increased threads on the E mail groups dealing with secondary issues like allotments, getting PP for micro wind turbines / PV / GSH pumps/ permission for keeping chooks, mini goats, mini pigs etc. I've had a few nice evenings chats in the last fortnight about putting double skinned Stainless steel chimneys into houses, sheds etc, keeping chooks in terraced back yards, opening up chimneys after years of being bricked up ( and the stuff that falls down chimneys ) . Building coolers/ chillers/ Veg stores in the garden by basically digging a hole, water proof lining it, insulating it etc to keep home grown veg in over the winter. Other snippets like using Galv steel tin roofs as ground plains for radios ( way outside my comfort zone). Guerrilla gardening in built up areas, growing grub in bags on flat apartment block roofs, using bubble wrap as extra insulation around same grow bags to get early start on tomatoes. I thought the change to Bug In would see a 180 degree turn in peoples plans but the opposite has happened it appears to be revitalising discussion on prepping issues, that's good for all of us.
