▬ ABOUT US ▬
We are Rich & Kathie, a retired couple building our dream home: A SUPER ENERGY EFFICIENT OFF GRID earth sheltered home in the Adirondacks!
The house will be covered with about 30" of soil which helps to maintain an internal temperature between 45 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit in winter & summer respectively. This means that in the winter we will only need minimal heat that we plan to provide with a small wood burning stove and we shouldn't need any air conditioning in the summer at all!
With inflation right now, the energy efficiency of this house is a HUGE Plus! But, it also means that we have a super tight budget that is getting tighter by the day. For this reason we DIY everything we reasonably can and find creative ways to save money such as repurposing.
Please subscribe and join us to see how we manage the challenges of staying in budget and exactly how energy efficient this house actually is when it is done!
We appreciate all your support :-)

Kathy saved the day with her jigsaw. Woohoo! Making things work for you is homesteading at its finest. It turned out great. Nice teamwork, my friends. Your property and the surrounding area look beautiful with all the snow.

You missed the real excitement, back in the 60s and 70s when I was growing up around there, quite often a military jet of some kind would break the sound barrier. Not near the ground, but the surrounding mountains would echo the boom for a couple seconds. For a boy, very exciting!

Glad you found out what was happening with the noise..

Great job on the cooker hood, bet that shaking of the dome was scary!

Thanks! And yes, it was very scary and weird!
Looks fantastic! Love the hidden storage too. For cutting the leftover branches from the loggers, you can build a “crib” to allow you to safely cut many branches in one pass. I’ve read that the smaller branches have a tremendous amount of heat value.

I (Kathie) insisted on the storage! Hate wasting space 😊 good idea on the ‘crib’! 👍

We had a similar cabinet over the hood in a previous place. We kept the appliance manuals there.

When we lived in WV there were times when the house shook. I kept asking around what was going on. I found out that they were reclaiming an old strip mine not far away and we were feeling the blasts to close some of the open pits.

That’s crazy!!! And since mines are underground I get it was even worse than what we were experiencing!
I notice freight trains shaking the ground when it's frozen, but not in the summer.

Hmmm, that makes sense because it’s happening when the grounds frozen here too!
I always tell people to wash the vent screen often. Place it inside the kitchen sink with hot water mixed with Dawn Ultra Detergent. Overnight soak. Then rinse it off and run it through 2 cycles minimum in dishwasher. Once grease gunk starts to form it builds up fast and hard to remove. Eventually becoming a fire hazard. Best to be proactive and get it off early

Great job altering the range hood. How much logging are these people doing? I hope they don't strip too much out. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦

They’re logging about 65 acres but they’re foresters so they carefully choose what goes and what stays for balance.
Good morning! Just saw this pop up. How are you weathering the snow? Nice job on the switches. We'll tell you a story about a gigantic noise at our house one night...

@10:20 that was likely an ancestral Adironskimo. I've heard tell they live in them there parts. They have intermingles with the Northern Yeti and control the HAARP frequencies in your region. 🤣
