Winter has definitely set in here, this morning it was 7ยบ, pre-fire. Brrrr... Makes me want to build our own house, a nice, WARM and cozy house. We have been dreaming about buying land a building an earthship, if you've never heard of it, go and check out the link. They may look a bit unconventional, some would mumble it's another tree hugger, hippie craze, but we believe they are the way of the future. In the same vein, strawbale houses make a lot of sense too. Save on power, medical bills, maybe even be off the grid and, of, best of all, self sufficient!
Also check out the eartship.com website. I also found out there's also a New Zealand one!
i'll check it out: i'm forever talking about my compostable toilet in our next house, hubby is warming to the idea...xx
