Now that the House and Company had been sold and I had gotten rid of Vivian and Chase, and still have some money left, I decided to build a mine and a real office in my 4,000 acres of dirt.

Wednesday, after sale, I had:

$3.3M cash from house sale, profit $200k on $3.1M.

Company back for $1, plus $5M line intact, minus $284,800 they spent, plus $1.

Two F-150s repo now company assets again.

100% of dirt $2.1T, 4,000 acres Elko, $6B battery company valuation, $50M cash, $200M DOE loan, $150M Tesla/Ford prepay left, $75M Tesla $75M Ford, plus $3.3M.

Mike: "Boss, $3.3M, what we do? Build 13 more houses $280k off-grid, 13 houses 13 stages?"

Luis: "Boss, batteries humming twelve houses, we build more?"

Margaret: "Jack, $3.3M from the house that called you stupid and liability to your face, you can... "

Me: "We take the money we got from selling the house and company, to buy a new branch in Texas and also build head office and mine in here."

Head office and mine in my dirt, 4,000 acres Elko, $2.1T rare earth, 15% of world's rare earth, valuation 2.1 trillion, but no head office, only trailer.

Me: Not hole, press. Juniper Ridge Battery already, $6B valuation, 85% I own, press that makes bricks from dirt that was dirt at noon, powers houses.

Head office: Dad's workshop footprint,

I took $3.3M, split three ways.

$400k: Texas branch. Lonestar Custom Builders LLC, Lubbock, Texas, 12 employees, owner retiring, $2.2M a year building $900k houses that fall down slower than Chase's, owner wants $400k cash. Brown wired $400k on Wednesday by 2 PM Elko time, same day sale, changed name same day: HAWTHORNE HOMES — TEXAS LLC. Same name as Elko LLC Mike runs. No manager yet, Mike manage both but Mike is in Elko, so need an applicant.

$1.2M: Head office and mine in his dirt. Not a big office, Dad's workshop footprint, 24x36, white oak stage foundation, but walls were exterior sheetrock only, Zip tape real, 16 on center. Press inside bigger, second press, $800k second press from Tesla prepay loan vendor, plus building $400k, total $1.2M. Built on 4,000 acres Elko, gray dirt mine, bricks at 6:15 PM, same time House 11 first brick, batteries humming.

We broke the ground on Wednesday by 4 PM, same day sale, Mike, Luis, Jamal, Tommy Jr., trench straight, first trench since Chase half-dug House 13 and left for housewarming. Stage foundation held 300 pounds, didn't fall down.

$1.7M left: 6 houses in Elko, $280k each off-grid, $1.68M, 6 houses, 6 white oak stages, 6 air purifiers, 6 kids reading not coughing, own room first time, no NV Energy, just Elko dirt that was dirt at noon humming. Built Thursday to Sunday, four days, because crew fast now, 12 houses to 18 houses, lights on, whiteboard 18 HOUSES - LIGHTS ON, 82 TO GO.

So money from the house that called me stupid and liability to my face became Texas branch and head office and mine and 6 houses.

At 6:15 PM Wednesday , batteries hummed in 12 different houses plus head office press humming second press, making bricks from my $2.1T dirt.

Thursday morning, Vivian and Chase in Greenwich Country Club parking lot after being locked out, saw Grant Cole applicant..Now they have no house, no company, no trucks, no Tesla, no Country Club.

Margaret said Wednesday night in double-wide AC working: "Jack, you took $3.3M from the sale of our house and built an bead office and a branch in Texas. You even started building a mine. We don't have where to sleep. "

Before she could complete her sentence, I already cut her off. I was starting to feel the anger of what I went through since my dad married her and she made me start eating in the kitchen.

Mike said: "Boss, head office holds 300 pounds, doesn't fall down."

  • New Money, No Need

    Tuesday 7:30 AM, we were already on our way to Greenwich to visit Vivian and Chase and ask what really made them to forget us. My crew were already advising that I file to revoke the house and Company, but I had a better plan. Me, Mike, Luis, Jamal, Tommy Jr., Sloane, with dusty boots from Elko roofs, jeans, $22 t-shirts, hard hats in the truck bed, HAWTHORNE in Sharpie. We wanted to ask one question: why housewarming without inviting Jack? We parked on Round Hill Road by 8:45 AM on tuesday. The Big house lights were on. Two new F-150s $72k each in the driveway. White sheet still over the pool house hole. Catering trash bag still by the garage, Hendrick's. I had told Brown "Brown, don't file yet, maybe they were just excited, maybe they forgot to invite, maybe nice works." Brown said "Jack, page 4 clause, thirty-day clawback, I wrote it for this exact party." I said "Don't file yet." So no revocation yet. No Sheriff, no email. Just house and company given away on Monday, hous

  • The Housewarming

    At 6PM my phone buzzed on a roof in Elko.I was on the roof of House 13. Tar paper hot enough to burn through my boots. Below me, twelve houses with lights on, gray bricks in basements humming from dirt. White oak stages inside, kids reading, air purifiers humming. Mike's crew was cleaning up, Luis coiling extension cords, Jamal sweeping white oak dust into a pile to save because white oak is $12k a load and we don't waste $12k.Sloane texted: "Don't look at Instagram."When Sloane says don't look at Instagram, you have to look at Instagram.Vivian Hawthorne is live. Location: Round Hill Road, Greenwich, CT. Big house. Six bedrooms. The house I bought for $3.1M inside the $900M Tesla and Ford prepay wire and gave to her for free because I thought I was being nice and un-clouded.Now it's 6PM Greenwich time, which is 3PM Elko time, but live says 6PM, so she started party early, golden hour lighting for Instagram.I clicked.First shot: drone. Kade's drone, same drone that filmed pool

  • Two Signatures

    The double-wide in Elko has no AC at 8 AM. It died at 2 AM. Inside it's 104 degrees and the box fan just moves hot air around. The whiteboard says 12 HOUSES - LIGHTS ON, 88 TO GO and someone wrote underneath in black marker: DON'T SELL TO TESLA YET.At 1:20 AM last night I wired $900M to buy everything. At 1:21 AM I owned 100% of Dad's $8,000 dirt again, plus the big house on Round Hill Road where I ate in the kitchen for 15 years, plus Hawthorne Custom Homes LLC that built a pool house with interior sheetrock outside and got 2M views when it fell down, plus two trucks that failed inspection.At 1:22 AM I knew I didn't want any of it except the dirt and the press.At 8 AM I put two real deeds on the folding table in the dead-AC trailer. Real Greenwich Town Hall stamps, Tuesday stamps, when town hall is open.Mike, Luis, Jamal, Tommy Jr., Sloane, Margaret; all standing around table, all sweating.Margaret: "Jack, don't. Bad business.
