GREEN LIVING? You got it!
The adjoining year around creek flows into the McKenzie river ( which you can see from the house). There is a large garden space on the south facing hillside and the climate is moderate. The natural beauty surrounding you makes this a terrific place to develop a GREEN lifestyle!
With some imagination, a greenhouse, composting and gravity irrigation, I think you could grow much of your own vegetables. With plenty of firewood available nearby and natural cooling from the creek in the summer, the house stays comfortable year around. It seldom snows here and the fishing is great. If you are into hunting, that is nearby also. While the climate is not ideal for solar power, it may be sufficient for water heating part of the time. The collectors could be mounted on the shop roof, out of sight from the road. It would be interesting to see what wind power is available from the hillside above the house. There is a bench on the hillside just behind the shop that would be ideal for a greenhouse… and is a good spot for a chicken pen and compost pile. There are lots of wild blackberries in season.
IF YOU ARE REALLY A SELF SUFFICIENT TYPE, you may be able to design a power generating system driven by water power! Produce enough power, and you can run the well pump and a few lights – which would keep you cozy and comfortable in any situation. If more energy were produced, you may even be able to cook or heat with your own power! Become a modern day pioneer! WHAT DO YOU THINK?
