An idea for a no-cost Aspie house with everyone having the

Post Reply New Topic

ir own room... and obligation-free too; no having to worry about robbers or sharing space with people or being whiny and annoying people because you want to be alone or putting up with bitchy annoying people who want to be alone! Okay, well, it would cost like nothing for whatever supplies we didn't have, nothing compared to buying a house.


Here are the steps to doing this. Warning: this is not for closed-minded people or people who like flush toilets all the time!


1. We find a nice location in some government owned woods, not too far into the woods but far enough into them


2. we get some cement or cement and bricks, doors, hinges for the doors, locks for the doors, hammers and nails, shovels, measuring tape or better yet, rulers, preferably yard/metre sticks, rectangular or square blocks of anything that are the size of the average toy blocks in a kindergarten class, steel/iron/other hard metal scraps to reinforce the floors and perhaps the walls, perhaps some pipes and a blowtorch, cardboard boxes to make cement blocks if we don't have bricks, and probably some things I forget


3. we dig a foundation, pour the cement in it, start building with bricks or cement blocks from inside there, then build floors, as high as the average a fire tower in the forest, one room per floor and a stairwell.


4. Perhaps in each room we can have a rain shower stall where when it rains the person can shower in the rainwater. There can be a collecting bowl for rain and we cn have a faucet system where you can block the flow of water to your room or let it in, or we can just have each room having its own bowl and we shower only when it rains or from bowls/buckets of collected rain. And it's easy to put drain holes in the floors of the stalls all draining into the same pipe or shaft or whatever.


5. We then make pits for toilets and have a trough with things of water and soap, like those drink faucet things.

Anywhere, you go, you have to apply for a construction permit from the local municipality.

I know in the Adirondacks, you can buy a house for $100,000 which has 73 acres of fun.

Building a house would, if you do cost benefit analysis would be more expensive.

Oh, and in National Forests, you need another permit as well, for development.

You can do it, and it's not too bad, around $40, $50.

Say we don't care about anything fancy like electricity, plumbing, oil or gas, or anything like that. And now let's put it deeper in the woods after all. If it's deep in the woods, who would know?


Hmmm, I think I could buy a small piece of land off my grandmother, like the size of a home bathroom, and we could build the tower on that...

It would be great to do something like this, but concrete cost money, there are alot of different building materials, using mud for bricks, like in adobe and cobb buildings, you can also use straw bales to build a house, but they have to be covered in concrete, collecting rain or snow for usable water is fairly easy using a cistern to store it. Now finding free land is a little harder, but you may be able to lease land, like in the desert or up north in the yukon or alaska

Those things are fancy?!

Ana54, I've never heard anyone come up with more crazier ideas than you.

I also think most people would want to be compensated for working so hard. Have you ever been on a construction site when a house is being built? ITS HARD

Also, when they eventually discover your house, its going to get knocked down. How are you guys going to get food? What roads will lead to your home? This idea is horrible.

Oh wait, I see this idea only applies to people who want to live like troglodytes. I see.

What would you do with an Aspie house if cost wasn't an issue?

This would be a dream come true!!

This sounds kind of like the village.
but I think it would be a nice place to go.

you could just assimilate an already existing village

Could we build our house/village underground?

As long as it's away from the city and out in the woods, count me in!

Electricity, running water, telephone, &c are not requirements. Besides the fact that human civilization existed for many years without them, it is entirely possible to lead a perfectly fulfilling life without them. I have lived myself in this manner for several years. However, one must bear in mind that it is hard work. Many of the tasks that one takes for granted in the modern world become ardious and time consuming.

I think that it is important for people to gain these skills. It allows for a further appreciation of the modern world, it allows for a greater degree of independance when one realizes that one may get by without the costly modern conveniences, it also allows for a greater degree of survival in the case of an emergency or disaster.

That said, it is important to gather only those who are willing and comitted to the idea. Nothing ruins the experience more than a member who is constantly complaining.

I have always loved the idea of living underground and taking over a disused bunker or something. Living underground is very environmentally friendly.

FANCY? It's so simple! No maintenance. If it gets dirty, hose it down.


If they knock it down, that's just another reason to hate and disrespect the government. Besides, they don't have to find it unless one of us rats the others out to them and why would they do that? Food? Hmmm, road trip?? Into town, to get food? Also gardening. We can have boxes of tomato and pepper and cucumber plants in the windows and that.

Im growing tomato's , onions, and cucumbers in my backyard right now. Good stuff.

Sounds like a case of malaria. Your plan could work with quite a few modifications. My fiance and I said we'd like to find a deserted island to build inventions and live on and call it Aspergeria. Better yet when I relocate my space ship, I'll just leave this planet for a more technologically advanced and enlightened civilization. Technology is EVERYTHING. I'm awkward at physical labor, and if I've ever been bored and depressed now, I can only imagine living in a primitive place. Anyway it's good to have that kind of dream, but I think I'll be happy when I get a house, which will be soon.
