I was directing a friend to the forums today and realized it has been ages since I've been on. For anybody who remembers, we are the Earthship builders in Darfield, BC. Well, after 3.5 years, we moved in, just beore Christmas! In the year or more since I was last here, we converted a van to run on veggie oil and took our kids on a North American trek...for two months. We then buckled down and got the earthship habitable...which is where we are now.
We still struggle with issues of work/homeschool/play/environmentally sound living practices...but I suspect that will be a never ending journey.
Our last year has been so busy, we didn't even update our blog very much ( www.darfieldearthship.com (http://www.darfieldearthship.com) ) but relied on the much faster, more superficial world of FB... our page is The Darfield Earthship.
It is a real conundrum these days, isn't it? I've noticed that forums like these ones are one wane, in the fast paced world of texting and FB...it's a shame, but I've also fallen prey to technology (well, not the texting,I hate that), but certainly Facebook as a means of communicating. Having said that, I did find wonderful people and ideas here...perhaps as my life slows down again I will visit more often...
Cheers to all of you. Some of you were very supportive of our venture in the early years! Thanks so much!
