I love this
Earth House by Peter Vetsch
About this 2012 thing ... there is so much scaremongering going on out there and a whole bunch of confusion. So many people out there are making mega bucks off fear, and fear is something to which I care not to subscribe. I think it wise to be prepared for possibilities, but not to let it take over my every thought.
End of that. Be here now...
In our home right now there is a mountain of clutter to clear. This is all because we have inherited so much stuff through the years and since I closed the restaurant on Feb 18 I have all that to sort and clear as well. There will be one huge yard sale when I have sorted out what we really need at the construction camp and the House in the Hill. Clutter overtakes the mind as well as the physical space around you, so de-cluttering is exciting. Just imagine - a free mind!
Building in the earth is all new technology to me but my talented husband is a civil engineer (and artist) and will employ the help and advice of the right people. I love learning new things, dreaming and planning...and then doing it!
We shall build our earth home because we really like the look of it and like the concept of future savings on energy. Since I am a permie (read permaculture student) I shall continue working with the land and living each day as well as I know how. That is so exciting! The joy at the prospect of building a home on our little farmling is much nicer than worrying about what might or might not happen.
We have just under 4 hectares on which we have a 10 x 10m vegetable shade shed under drip irrigation, 2x 3x3m wood Wendy cabins, 2 long-drop toilets and plans for a camp kitchen and a gas shower. It is a lovely site under the a pine tree and some 6 chestnut trees. This will be our construction camp.
Our journey to an earth House in the Hill has begun...
