On Building my Dream Home


This is a home in Wales that a guy built in three months for next to nothing.  Check it out here.  It's a reciprocal framed roof on a timber frame with straw walls rendered with lime and a turf roof.  I will build a house like this.  I just have to find the land and convince Sara that a compost toilet is the wave of the future.  Crapping in a bag of sawdust here I come.

  1. We should get together and share knowledge and ideas and encouragement. It seems like we just keep going down the same road we always do even though we want to turn off and take a road less traveled. I think there's a desire in a lot of us to do life differently. Maybe we're lacking sufficient motivation. Easy to talk. Tough to do. Actually this isn't group guru. I'm using her computer. Oh dear, how do computers fit into all this? And on and on it goes.

  2. We saw this last weekend. Debbie is actually all over this. She just wants a few more square feet...

    We need to work on finding the land, eh?
