I have a dream..


And it is for me and my family to live as self sufficiently, independently and sustainably as possible. Amazingly, there has been an underground sort of movement in this direction since the 80's and people have been lving incredible lives virtually off the grid and dependent on nothing but God and what he has provided for us all in nature. If you're thinking this sounds mighty "granola" of me, think again. These homes are extraordinarily modern and beautiful as well as provisionary when done correctly. They are entirely self run creating their own power, electricity, heat, water via rain water collection ducts on the roof and incorporating a fully efficient gray water system for recycling water run off. Nothing is overlooked or wasted. They also encompass an immense capacity for growing enough food for a small army, including fish and other animals. Imagine a home that not only provides a beautiful shelter for you and your family, but also all of the modern ammenities and necessities required to live...without the monthly bills! YES PLEASE!!
