What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

OFF GRID DONE RIGHT! Maximum R value construction, a massive solar system for water and electric, and LED lighting make energy management a relaxed affair. Railings on big old growth RW decks work great for drying clothes, and an impressive wood stove custom built in a Ft Bragg shipyard with plenty of firewood around, good soil for growing food, and an ELECTRIC VEHICLE charging station in the barn equals self sufficiency.
