The Sustainable House









Finally finished the house. John oversaw, built, and researched every green square inch of this house. All systems are completely off grid. We are completely solar with a 7 kilowatt system, we have a hoot sewage system that takes black water and converts it to grey water, and we have over 20,000 cubic feet of water storage as we collect roof water, and two artisan wells. We are now landscaping with edible,and decorative natives,and drought tolerant plants. We are starting out winter gardens now and will upload pics as we get finished. The decor is used furniture, and salvaged wood furniture. We have tried to go green within the whole decor, build, and landscaping. We will of course be learning more as we go, but this is the reason we moved here. Our mission to live a sustainable yet beautiful and creative life.
