The inside walls are all framed, we are now working on the thermal mass wall
       
           

Solar power, well, septic, and satelite. County living at it's best!

We finally broke ground after all the soil testing and compaction testing Spring 2007, here we are Spring 2008 and look at our progress on the house.  We are now working on the thermal mass wall that surrounds all the main livning area to hold heat in the winter and hold cool in the summer.

We are making progress everyday on the ranch for easier living.
We have enough power to run a washing machine, dryer, and a microwave on a sunny day. We now have a well that runs off solor energy.
