All photos on this url is free to do what ever you want.

 Drainagew1 Photo:
 This is an example that says a lot. Note how high basement wall is used to keep snow out of contact to wood etc. Note how there is not any exsposed soil outside the boxed areas. All Cobble stones surrounds the house. So that all melting snow and raid drain way from house. 

Old NEw Photo:
 is an example of how over time they update thier dwellings. THis is not trick photo but actuall state the house had undergone to improveing it. Almost all houses have at least a room or foundation area which has survived since 1660's three to four hundred years.

Taylormain Photo:
 Is an example of outdoor furnace. I would take this and enclose it further into structure that absorbs heat and insulation.
The units like these can be made to use anykind of fuel.

TileRoofs Photo:
 This was the view I had from the bedroom. THought it would be enjoyed by some.

usbiom10 Photo:
 I am not against people not living in areas which restrict the natural path of water and soil to restore our land. But what I am against with the UN is to let people think that if a little fish which  bird carried to a remote location is an endangered species.
 Bird digestive track does not harm seeds,frog eggs,fish eggs. and tons of other stuff.

 THe Mystery of Vockerode:
How in the world did they go from living in nomad conditions to comeing together in a way that they created dwellings in manner that allowed each family to be able to benifit from each others labors. All water goes to where it helps surrounding fields. All sewage is collected by a Honey Wagon.[stay behinn one of these in summer,ha]

THe oldest part of the house Ilived in behind the white wash was clay,horse hair?,branches from trees or fagots. THen if two story it had huge cross beams to distribute the weight.

Some who owned these homes lived elsewhere,But in times this was the perfect insurance in case of Illness,lost of work,to reEducate etc.
Low overhead only needed keep white lime wash on walls. replace any broken tiles. etc.

The first week I returned to the USA i was taken down street in Atlanta. It was called Chesire Bridge Road. First thing I thougth of was that it had the appearence of a land fill. Where a modern building was built next to a concrete block building then a japanesse style building next to a log cabin. ha. All buildings in I saw would not last long. Drainage problems roofs that dont last etc.

I hope those on this list know what they have to offer so many that can today begin a new path. One which allows true insuranc.

 America is still too young in some places to know where goes where and what.  I hope we can trust our goverment enought to find where we can build and not be in the way of future advancements.
 Most sucess stories of businesses or farms stim from by being in a decade of industry growth where the demand is huge. Other sucess stories come from joint family owned property where they benifit from the labors from previous generations. A tax free land and a strong foundation of knowledge is the key to the future in whatever business or farm that withstand the ever changeing world.
