Durable plastic wears out gradually and after 10 or 20 years new coverings were added, while leaving old leaky coverings underneath to improve the insulation value.




The piecemeal feature of life provided means to wonder about possibilities, then discover preferred approaches, and then partly test potential features, and then save up to install better renditions of  things, all in due course. 



Last Photos were taken around 2020. Incremental additions to this page provide me the sense sharing which rebounds the energy to continue seeking and extracting old and newer content from stored collections.

Homesteading honors the law of freedom by enabling people to settle into lifetime occupations. Settling on land was my choice to work at normally unpaid, but much inspired projects, and to find time for, literate and graphical studies. Gradually my webpages share what I did, now going into my sixth decade of actual homesteading.


The following list shows some homestead inclusions, (with occasional addions).

Translucent Dome Made as a sizable solar attic.

Furnace & Heat Storage

Electromagnetic Coils

PCs > Inverse Robotics

PCs > Geometric Application  

Resilience  & Solving Challenges

My studies are currently based in Pythagorean hylozoics, and are slowly presented from my perspective, and not to be taken as official representations.


For now the images describe the kind of homestead to be further detailed with more photos and words dating from 1971 to present time and most recently ‘built’ tried things. Early 70s photos were lost in our cold darkroom because homesteading was so crude from the start. 


Taming a disrupted landscape was our early task and detailed land problems were not even thought worthy of photographing. Left to right photo pasting starts and ends at different positions pertaining to actual places in garden. First centering of camera is on peak of red-roll-roofing of old cape structure and second centering is on top of dome.


My first computer hard drive memory was to small to hold files and only later CDs and zip drives could hold scattered remnants. Below view looks down from a crowded out pine tree before cutting it down , dated 1996.



Next below is a digitized diagram of house features and functions. Some of the precursors or parts were already functional conveniences before 1990. The integration of living inside a solar greenhouse attic is further described  here.

The graphics and commentaries of this website are a continuing work in progress by Bo Atkinson in Maine, USA.
