Time moves on
Hopefully the weather will get warmer soon. I hope to be helping more people with Aquaponics here in the near future. My Brother will visit this spring, it has been a while since we got to visit. The chickens are laying better now and we have one Muscovy duck sitting on a nest! Between the eggs, fish and gardens, we probably don't need to go to the grocery store much for a while.
Not Been as good at updating as I planned
Well, it got cold here and most of the tropicals died back. Even the Bamboo. Hopefully it all grows back from the roots. Aquaponics is still doing great, I really should do some extensive updating of those pages. If anyone wishes me to design/build aquaponics systems for them, I could be willing. We have gotten some Muscovy Ducks, they are very quiet creatures, far quieter than the chickens. Got some nice beds of potatoes growing in the dirt gardens. I finished my outdoor kitchen space complete with rain water collection. So I guess I really should be getting pictures up to show off all my work.
House Design
Insulated Thinshell Concrete is extremely energy efficient to heat & cool, as well as, incredibly disaster resistant. The background pictures is the original rendering. Here is a link to a more photorealistic rendering.

Lets see if I can get better about updating the web site now.I've been keeping busy with gardening, Aquaponics, showing off my system and sharing fish, work, chickens, my mom and cousin moving down here with us for the winter.
Now I'm changing the way I update the web pages so will see if that will improve my track record.
Please check out the Aquaponics protion of the site for new developments. If you are interested in assistance with building/designing an aquaponics system please contact me.
BACKUP!
Just a reminder to back up your important files regularly. Last year I was actually in the process of saving important stuff when things locked up and the blue screen of death appeared on the next re-boot. Unfortunately, I had not done a major back up for quite some time. I must thank Advanced Computing Solutions Inc for taking care of my recovery.www.acsdatarecovery.com
