What????
We went through an 8 month process of creating a holisticgoal for the land and our lives, which included how we wanted to integrate our daily lives into the land and community. We assessed climate...
Mrs. M...you are still welcome to come and visit!!!:)
Hello all...here for my yearly check in. :|( We moved into our earthship in December 2012 and promptly put the brakes on anything else for a while. We were pretty exhausted. But last summer I...
It's been forever since I logged in...we did indeed purchase a Delica in October 2011. We successfully converted it and then drove around North America that winter on a 2 month trip with the kids...
Mrs. M...you know you have a standing invitation!!
O.K. redfox...who are you on our page? :)
That is a common concern. However there have been many studies done to allay those fears. The tires are packed with dirt, surrounded in dirt or concrete and are not exposed to water or sunlight and...
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...
:) Not moved in yet! I've learned more patience. Especially when there's travelling involved. We drove our van from BC to Toronto for Christmas, then to NYC for a week, then on to Orlando for...
Hello there! We are still around, although to be honest since the boards switched I have not been on much at all! Can't remember where we were when I last posted (my husband posted as North River),...
Margaret. Another little piece falls into place. Now you are not Mrs M to me, you are...Mrs. Margaret!! :))) It happens to all of us (the funk, not the silliness!)
We have a friend who collects used motor oil and burns it in his shop furnace...same idea.
All systems go for a local source of used cooking oil...
Iris Lily, you are so funny! :)))))
Yup, no gift. Even weddings I go to, I sometimes limit it to a small gift, in proportion to my own financial circumstances and what I feel is a thoughtful gift for the couple involved (if I'm going I...
Grew up a country mouse...lived in the city very happily, but eventually moved back to the country...I can exist in either quite happily, but at the end of the day...country for me.
Gas just jumped to $1.30 per litre in Kamloops (multiply by 4 to get approximate price per gallon). Here's what we've been thinking... ...
Stephanie, have I been away THAT long? I had no idea...Congratulations...hope all goes well! (Sandra Burkholder)
Just asked Ed about Mitsubishi Delicas and he's owned one that he converted to vegetable oil. He quite liked it. I like it because it's 4x4 and can tow our livestock trailer. Anybody own one of...
DH and I are are discussing how to proceed with our earthship build this spring. We are 21 months into our house construction and after taking a few months off to concentrate on other projects we...
I'm a bookkeeper and own Simply Accounting. I've recently been using QuickBooks for a new client. We used to use Quicken until they stopped supporting online downloads for our version. DH and I...
We are just great Mrs. M...our first year of homeschooling has been an adventure...slows down progress on the house but has other benefits...hope all is well in your neck of BC!
We've heard the argument that the value of the oil might go up...Ed says he's never seen it happen. He has dealers all over Canada and the U.S. Not to say it COULDN'T happen, but he's been doing it...
It can run on both. Ed has a great blurb about how to approach restaurants for oil. Apparently Japanese restaurant oil is preferable because it is changed more frequently and doesn't need to settle...
