End of the year updates

so we have completed the first room. Doesn't seem like much, but that one room was a lot of work for just us. We are not hiring out, contracting anyone, or have had any magic volunteers show up to help. It's been slow going, and we had to get a couple permits along the way in order to keep moving. We also kept up our small farm, preserved all the garden harvest, and I kept a full time job. So, hopefully next year as we get faster and a little more efficient, we will get a bit more done.

The room seems small, but it's a 14X16 with an 8,4" ceiling. It will have a small open area in front of it with a greenhouse type area with garden beds that will have herbs, citrus trees, and other plants that
cannot grow outside in our Maine winters.

This is not our picture but this gives you an idea of what it will look like.

We had some help from our son, who is 21, and my husband's sister and brother in law that moved here over the summer. That was a big help.

We have the roof on and have decided to build a normal second floor. This will allow us to have more of the house built in less time and hopefully move in a year earlier.

These are some completed inside earthships
