We are thinking somewhere just south of Westlock maybe. Have had an eye on land prices for a while so we are just waiting for the right land to open up. Looking for 80 or so acres, and there has to be a stream on it cause I am going to run a micro-hydro turbine for power. I want to maintain a natural 20-30 acre woodlot on it also.

I am going to go back and check out your posts! My questions are more about the insulation of the floor and the grey water system. I have the earthship books with all the details in them, but I think they are more for the Taos, NM area.

I grew up just south of Pickardville. I know the area well. We did not insulate the floor, just the walls and roof. Instead of gray water systems, I built a gray water pond to grow duck weed. My blog talks about some of that. But it also talks about temperatures, mistakes and other stuff like that. Feel free to go through the blog and if you still have questions, then feel free to ask. Peace to you.

Thx so much!!
