"Have you seen the domes made out of long sand bags? Kind of hippy, but pretty cool and super easy to do with little or no building skill, as long as it is cabin-sized. http://earthbagplans.wordpress.com/tag/sandbag-dome/"

Toilette, dome, off-grid town, super SIP panel

Howdy Y'all, While in Texas I got a look at several possibilities worth delving into:  1)  waterless toilette, 2) domes, and 3) self-sustaining villages, and 4)  a land-lord and tenant friendly building material.     1.     Incinolet is the name of a company that manufactures a water free toilette.  One unit (potty) costs just under $2,000  which is cheaper than a septic tank and better for environment.  The company is privately owned so you have to buy from them altho they are negotiating to…See More

Howdy Y'all,

 

While in Texas I got a look at several possibilities worth delving into:  1)  waterless toilette, 2) domes, and 3) self-sustaining villages, and 4)  a land-lord and tenant friendly building material.

Hey Jim...  could you update your profile with a photo so the community could have some context who you are.  Thanks for sharing in your blog.  It's a good read.

Hi Jim,

Good to hear from you. Please email me directly at pravatar@rocketmail.com to tell me more about the artist and when you might consider visiting. We've got a lot going on this month, so it's all about scheduling. I'm now the Administrative Director of Phoenix Commotion, because just keeping up with Dan's speaking engagements and his visitors has become a large task, so I've turned over my PR functions to our Media Organizer in Houston. Hope to hear from you soon.

Ok Jim I am on for what that it is worth.
Unless this system drops a note to me on my email address that I have a message at this site;
I may not remember to check in real regularly.
BIZZY and SELF CONSUMED AS I AM.
Thanks my friend and carry on the Good Fight.
