Updates are few & far between, right now

Updates are few and far between right now as I am still in the waiting stage; waiting to hear if the probate judge approves our sale agreement.  The case goes before the judge on 7\28\2015, 5 more days.

I have been thinking about what I want to do with the land, and all the cabins, and my home are going to be green.  That means using recycled materials when possible, and when not, use quality products that will last which will result in less resources being used in raw material and energy in manufacturing.

Research includes, hopefully, a trip to Teton Valley, ID the first weekend of August to look at the Earthship I mentioned in my last post.  Reading books and searching the Internet for alternative energy options, alternative buildings, etc.
Here are links to what I have been looking at the last week or two.

Until, probably next week, when I share the news from the probate judge, enjoy life.
