Our Roadmap To Sustainability

Projects we’re working on to take this home off the grid.

  • weatherizing all windows and doors
  • stopped using heating and started utilizing our three fireplaces
  • replacing our lighting with LEDs
  • painting the house with zero VOC paint (photos)
  • planting an organic garden (terraced to the natural landscape of the hillside backyard)
  • putting a pump on our underground water well
  • installing a greywater capture system and incorporating it into a tiered pond system
  • Tiered Pond System
  • building steps up to the firepit in the backyard, using huge trunk stumps of a neighbors recently cut down Cypress tree
  • Meditation Platform
