hmmm.... Very interesting.
I have heard of the damp conditions that need to be allowed for there, didn't know the termite construction needs for Australia, they must have some tough ones, i have heard of a Formosa termite that can eat through concrete.

Yes, I have heard it said Australia has the highest proportion of poisonous critters in the world.
we use a type of wrap, "vapor wrap" on houses before the siding goes on.
"Tyvek" is one brand name.

I think ppl give him way too much credit. He is just a man that was in a high position for a few years.
Trump was the best US president after Reagan. And he won this election hands down. But he was attacked day an night by the MSM because he stood for America rather than its enemies.

What he failed to do is ensure from day one (January 2017) that election fraud would not take place after 2016. And for that he should have appointed a Special Investigative Commission to dig out all the rot and get rid of it (including Dominion Voting Machines, bogus voter rolls, mail-in ballots, extended period of voting time before elections, ballot harvesting, corrupt officials, unconstitutional laws. and changes to procedures, etc). Multiple prosecutions should have taken place, since there was already election fraud at that time. Had that whole scenario been cleaned up, he would be in the White House right now.

well thing is in the 70s and before when people were totally clueless, they used asbestos as linings, lead and VOCs in paint, CFCs in aerosols, and chemicals and pesticides in food, plastics in plumbing, fossil fuels in cars, and unfiltered storm water collection

so your entire house and garage could just be a death trap waiting to happen.

The worse that could happen to a believer is to end up where we are trying to get.

climate change doesnt mean its too hot or cold just means more extremes.
so much so that most things dont work anymore.

one thing people are stupid about is chopping down trees to make houses, that will rot in a few years time, so they paint it and treat it so that it wont rot, but the paint and treatment kills all their veges.

when they could have just made houses out of clay like bricks, which would last thousands of years, or just lived in the trees.

of course in an earthquake not much you can do, but houses made of straw for example and sticks wont last in event of tsunami or cyclone.

People ought to read the Three Little Pigs story.

Ought to read and understand the Bible first, and nothing else until we are obedient.
He has a complete plan for each of our lives, where to live, how to live, what to do, how to do it.
The problems of and in the world are never from His end, always from down here.

well the little pigs story is short and simple even for children dont you know it??

or you could talk about the wise man building his house upon the rock (and the foolish man building his house upon sand) there are actions to that as well.

Relax God is sovereign. If God wants to take you out of this world nothing can prevent it from happening.

Mountain climbers sleep in hammocks hanging by a piton they drive into the cliff face with a hammer.

For the cause of Christ

It's an just interesting picture, nothing to "relax" about. We all know, or should know, that God is sovereign.

yea no
and mountain climbers are crazy bunch of people. Actually many of them climb mountains and do die by falling off so..I'd rather not.

If the mountain has stairs or a safe passage then its ok but otherwise, what is there to gain from climbing them, you certainly cant live on a mountain permanently.

yeah me to ..right here! haha.. wow

Every look into sin and then how the earth reacts to it in the word of God? What did God say to Adam after he sinned Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’: “Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life."

Lets keep going "You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you."

As sin grows this earth will react. Christ told us this will get worse and worse. Not going to get better. Also the closer HE is to coming and sin in that cup gets full... yet this is the BEST time to be alive. Those before us wanted to be here during this time! AWESOME praise GOD glory to Jesus
