Welcome welcome welcome

Welcome to Los Angeles Repairs Itself.  Our mission is to document our attempts at sustainable living in a large city.  We are not entertaining delusions of becoming masters of natural living, but we would like to be consistent in trying new (old, largely neglected, inconvenient, smarter) ways of doing things.  Failure is fine and is usually met with more laughter than swearing.  I just blew it with lacto fermented pickles (I will constantly be blowing it with the english language as well, so bear with me) and my Frankensteinian greywater system makes even it's creator shake his head when it spews foamy Oasis water out the window onto the crabgrass.

We live in a tiny house in Elysian Valley right next to the Los Angeles River.  For the first time in my life I don't have a landlord looking over my shoulder, and I plan to take full advantage of that by indulging every whim I have to tinker with this place.  The house is falling apart, which just means we have an opportunity to make it work better than before.
