Also when i was young i use to keep the horse flys off a donkey that carried around turpentine in wooden barrels. As the men scraped the trees another came along drove a thin metal device that directed the turnpentine to flow into a bucket.

I wonder if this raw turpentine could be used to coat for water proofing?

I had seen people dig pits and start a fire in the pit they then rolled debarked pine logs which were about 4inch in dia? over the fire. It drew out the sap and then hardened. They could then use this for fence post for a while. Till they found water oak trees.

Seems a lot has been lost over time . I am so glad for everyone on this list. It is so important that people build from the bottom up. instead of trying to use goverment left overs. One man said that "All our needs are at hand if only we see them"

Thought of Cobble stones and the forms which a person can buy or make that allow you to make foot paths. When I did a search on geo polymer crete I found where there was a health concern about waste products in cements. So I declined to not suggest pharoah crete till I understand it better.
