Hi,
ReplyDeleteWe live off-grid in the mountains of South Central Costa Rica. We have a biodigester, hydro power, organic food, fresh pure water from a spring 1,000 ft above us. Our toilet is a sawdust compost toilet that my husband made. We compost everything, and our cows poop in the biodigester gives us methane and pure fertilizer for the gardens. I have not had a refrigerator in more than a year, but that is about to change. We invested in deep cycle batteries. We also live with the sun, we get up early, and go to bed early. Early is the best part of the day anyway. Life is good. You can see my blog at www.costaricamountian.blogspot.com We would not want to live any other way than the life we now have.
We never used our living room, so this time, we built a big kitchen dining area, no living room. Our bedroom is "small space designed", a king size bed with walk around room, a library wall, and a sliding fabric wall made out of a heavy duty canvas drop cloth. We love it, this is our favorite room in our house.
Small is beautiful, and off grid living is the best.
