Sorry to hear about your stuff and tools. Yes new tools are nice to have but usually we buy them as needed and don't get slapped in the face with the expense. I had my tools stolen last year and felt so bad about it. I had a cordless drill and circular saw set, an expensive one that I never even took out of the box. It was a gift from someone special.
So good for you being able to find a silver lining in your cloud. Have fun picking out your new tools!
I just cannot and never will understand the mindset of a person who thinks it's OK to just take things. In my case it is very obvious that I have very little in a material way. Maybe I could understand taking from someone who has a lot of stuff ......but us little guys who are scrounging for all we have??????

With sixteen years of accumulation lying around, I had to spend several months "away". While I was gone, someone(s) helped themselves to all my materials, which was OK, but they also broke in and stole all my tools, which was not OK. The silver lining is that I get all new tools : )

Funny you should mention stockpiled stuff. I was just saying to Mom this afternoon that I want to put up a notice at the post office and little general store
FREE STUFF COME AND GET IT
and just have all this crap hauled away. I spent last weekend moving all my doors and windows out of storage. They have been in there for 4 years and at $75 a month I could have bought all new. But there was a lot of other stuff in there too (furniture, books) and I was sharing with 2 other people..... but you get the point.
Thanks for the info.

Subject: [papercreters] earth bags- Kelly Harts- piles of salvage
JW- But he had earthbags filled with sand (I think) not papercrete
which would absorb the water and keep it in the wall with the
possibility of mold growing.

Hi Judith- Kelly filled his home earthbags with scoria- a local
pumice rock, so it does not absorb water, will not burn, and is
insulative too. and lighter than an earth filled bag to build.
although I just got a big sack of such material from a friend and it
weighs a lot to even move a garbage bag full!! [ for me as an older
female] so an earthsack is the same size, but less weight than dirt
itself.
the pumice pile my friend has is going to be inside the foundation of
his straw bale home .
OT rant-complaint on myself
when I see people starting from scratch I am envious-- I have way too
many piles of materials from 7 years of scavenging, and
for-yet-to-be-done and half-started projects that I want to just give
it all away and start fresh. ha I did give a ton of granite away-
literally- , but I have managed to fill up my little 1/3 acre with too
much, so now I am trying to "hide" more in the back area so it cant be
seen with a drive by-- thankfully this is a bit rural, but I have
very neat neighbors-- so I dont want to get cited with a "clean up"
notice cause they are sick of seeing it. so far it is live and let
live- but I am guilty of not finishing projects before hauling home
more goodies.. the trick is to believe there will be 'materials'
available when you need them. but this is not always the case no
matter how 'spiritual' you are thinking <grin>
my plan to retire and finish up projects is a solid one, but who knows
how long it will all take!
