querty007 – let us know how it goes!
We’re very interested, eventually, in building our own eco-friendly place, but as first-time buyers this time, we’ll probably renovate a ‘fixer’ for full insulation/solar etc…so any leads and/or references would be greatly appreciated.
One thing I saw recently that really piqued my interest was using recycled shipping containers for pre-fabs. A lot of them come fully insulated, with A/C and hardwood floors, and only get used once or twice before being dumped at the port of entry. You can buy 6 or 7 of them and modify them to make a great house, plus you’d be helping with the environment as they’re just sitting around taking up room.
