I Dreamed of Building a #Holzhausen. It Was Worth It. https://slate.com/life/2026/01/holzhausen-woodpile-stack-house-german-scandinavian.html

Been tied up with another hardwood flooring project, and other stuff, and given the state of the world, I hardly even know what to say about anything besides, “Yikes,” or stronger statements along those lines.

Obsessed with #woodstoves, as a way of thinking about something besides the horror of the world.

Had a dream last night where anyone could be arrested for anything.

Will get back to mastondoning when I finish this floor, unless it finishes me first.

I just replaced the air filter in our home made complete house air filtration system.

The old filter is on the left, the new one on the right. In four months of absorbing all smoke from our neighbours' fires, firework fumes and dust from motor traffic the filter has gone from being white and translucent to dark and opaque.

Unless we open windows or doors, all the air entering our home comes through this HEPA filter. It removes a lot of the particulates as well as the smell of smoke that sometimes lingers outside. As a result, we definitely have more healthy air in our home now than we did before I build the air filtration system.

There are details of the system here:

Went out by bike to fetch coffee, turned around halfway as you can taste the air quality (map by iqair.com). Wood burning stoves for the kill.
