Green's Island with Hope: Showers, Electricity, and Eight Walls


Saunas, followed by a warm water rinse off with a watering can. Amazing feeling, so clean and refreshed. Vibrant buzz.
Solar electric: for hot water, water pump?, and minimal electricity (maybe a couple outlets, a few lights, etc?). Jon's family has solar hot water that gets SO hot and stays hot for a very long time; well insulated!
I LOVE the open floor plan and loft in Hope's mom's house. It is yurt-like, eight-sided, not too big, yet very open and comfortable. A good place to start for the plan of the house itself.
This is the floor of the loft (looking up from the livingroom floor). It used to be the herb drying house for Deb Soule's herb farm Avena Botanicals.
