Single Mom Builds an Elegant Off-Grid Home
Welcome! I'll give you a complete tour of the off-grid, self-sustaining home that I designed and built. Together with my two young sons, a talented carpenter, and his wife, we created a home in the mountains of Colorado to demonstrate that living off-grid doesn't mean living without modern conveniences.
We built a home that incorporates:
🌻 Water harvesting,
🌻 Uses passive solar design to heat and cool our house for free - with the sun,
🌻 Heats our water with the sun,
🌻 Generates clean, regenerative power with a small PV solar array,
🌻 Recycles our greywater to grow an indoor jungle,
🌻 And has a composting toilet so that we recycle our waste back into the earth.
