VIDEO: "The Seth House" GARDENS!

Seth House Heaters Stopped Working! - Uh-oh!

FUNDRAISER: Help Warm Things Up

On Those Cold Winter Nights



First the Good News:


We've been GARDENING!


"The Seth House Gardens"

Have Come Alive!


I have been working nearly every day since May 2024, 5 full months, to beautify the yards and gardens, and it has all been worth it. I've planted a ton of Perennials (those are the kinds of plants, trees, bushes that will come back every year). Dug out trash, broken glass and brought in countless bags of good dirt.


We want the Seth House to be a place of peace and beauty inside and out. For some reason it just felt like this was the time to focus on the Gardens, and that's what's been happening. Many thanks to a few volunteers who helped lend some muscle too!


Here's the Guided Tour. 

Enjoy.

Now, Here's the Rest of the Story...



The Boiler in the Basement

is Unsafe & Stopped Working.


OUR HOME HEATING SYSTEM HAS GONE KAPOOT.


Our Steam Boiler in the basement of the "Main House" has been going strong since 1979. So it held in there for 45 years. Plus, there's also another heater that has also bowed out. There are 2 houses on this property and both heaters have been diagnosed as Kabloo-ey at the same time.


The house in the back is called "The Carriage House" because that's where the horsies used to live over a hundred years ago. Above that is a cold 4 bedroom house with a caved in ceiling. Been meaning to fix that ceiling.


We've had 4 Heater-Fixer Professionals come out and we've received estimates for replacing the two big machines for $12,000-$15,000. We are expecting 2 more quotes to come in.


We're doing our research. We need to learn everything about Heating Systems now so we make the right decisions for the future of the house, our visitors, and our increasingly surprising budget needs. Please help us pay for these new additions. We promise we are going to make the best decisions we can with our Donor's money.


So you know, I've been sharing quality time with 2 electric space heaters and my old favorite winter coat again. I'm hanging in there.

Here's the deep guts view of

The Seth House

Basement Steam Boiler.

This is what a non-working Basement Steam Boiler looks like from another angle.


Rust in Peace.

Here's the Forced Air Heater in the Carriage House. Nice and shiny. Looks fine to me... except when you open the panel on the side and a professional says:  

"Uh-oh, here's your problem."

Here are the guts of the Forced Air Heater in the Carriage House. I'm told that flames are not supposed to shoot out the way they did and this is why the auto-shutoff feature is a very good thing.




HERE'S A GREAT SONG!


A very cool Seth Reader in England sent me this.

I fell in love with it. It really moves and it feels so good.

Then a few days ago I realized what a great

theme song this would be for our fundraiser.

I asked him and he said yes. I've been playing it over & over.


Have a listen.

It's called "A Gift of Kindness"

by Richard Gentle. Thanks man! 😃

So that's what we've been up to here at the old homestead. Always something new. I have really grown and matured a lot as a human being here, and I'm grateful. It's one thing after the next, but ultimately they're all good things.


Big hugs to the community for whatever you can do to help support this fundraiser...

We really hope that next spring we can start painting and making repairs to the exterior of the building. But first we need to not freeze to death. That would be embarrassing.


As always - I also ask for help with the other needs of The Seth House Project. Let's just say we need help with everything so I don't leave anything out. Online tech would be especially superb.


I will send another Newsletter in a couple weeks to update you on how everything is going. Take good care of yourself. We need you in this Earthly Dimension... that's why you showed up... thanks.



Love + Other Options,

Oshara
