Surprisingly, this is most people's first reaction when I reveal our dream of building a tiny earthen off-grid home. They are not shocked by the fact that we are literally using our own 4 hands to dig the trench foundation and using the clay from under our feet to build the walls. They are not (totally) appalled by the thought of using an outhouse. They can even over look the fact that we may not have indoor running water. The thing that really gets their goat (sorry--we're in the country now) is that we are choosing to live and work together in such close confines.
The popularity of this observation has lead me to believe that this little eco-adventure will be much more of a social experiment than I ever thought. So I figured--what the heck--since I'm going to share all the exciting events that go into hand building a home and growing our own food and providing our own electricity; why not also share the juicy pieces of what a home really is--personal, intimate relationships.
Hope you enjoy the show!
By the way--I do really love my husband;)
Sydney, I am so happy that you guys are on this journey. Not one I would take but I am more than happy to live it through you. Stay in touch.
