Chantelle,
Where are you located?  I am going to be moving to the general vicinity of 
Claverack, NY (South of Albany, more or less) in a couple of months.  
Columbia County, maybe Greene or Rennselaer instead.  Plan is to buy acreage 
and live in a trailer or mobile home while I get to know the land and then 
build a strawbale/cob hybrid.  I'd be very curious to hear from folks in the 
lower New England area who have gone the alternative route...
