We are meeting the architect for the first time today, so both my wife and I are really excited.
As a treat for everyone, I have included a bigger picture of the view from our house site:

Mark and Rosalba are building a strawbale house!
We are both interested in sustainable living, alternative energy. We are also in the middle of starting a small organic farm growing fruit, veggies, and chestnuts as we both believe that organically grown produce is healthier and have bought organic products for the quite a while now.

What a gorgeous view!!!! And so lush!!!! Everything is so dry around here at the moment.

It’ is dry in Conondale where our house will be as well, but for some reason it is still fairly green. If we do get some frosts again this winter it’ll go brown as here as well.

Don’t hook it up to the grid – but make sure you tell them you’re not going to, and why. They need to be aware, or nothing will change.

Sally, at this point we don’t plan on connecting to the grid. I like to stick it to them …
When we first enquired about connecting to the electricity grid they made us feel very unwelcome and wanted to charge us a minimum of $15,000 over 10 years no matter how much or little electricity we would actually use.
