In September, 2011, I moved into my own earth shelter home, built in the early 80s. This was a dream come true.

About the Author:
I have 2 boys that I homeschool. My oldest has type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, epilepsy (to name a few), but he is the quietest, sweetest son, even as a teenager. My youngest son has a wicked sense of humor and can never promise to stay out of trouble.
I have a love for sustainable living, especially sustainable building. I want to go back to the basics.
