This is the house as it looks today. The house is 5,000 square feet. Our family of seven built the house nearly by ourselves. Some friends occasionally stopped by to lend a hand, but for the most part, we built it ourselves. AT THE TIME WE STARTED, WE HAD NEVER BUILT ANYTHING! The final cost of the house was around $60,000.00. |

This is a fully functional 2,500 square foot woodshop that also serves as a meeting hall. There is a large 3hp tablesaw, 7hp planer, miter saws, routers, jointers and dust collection. Everything runs perfectly and nothing is connected to the electric company. AT THE TIME WE STARTED, WE HAD NEVER BUILT ANYTHING! The final cost of the building was approximately $10,000.00 and $4,000.00 of that was for the concrete floor. |

The heating bill last winter was $65.00 - and it wasn't because the house is not located in cold weather. The DVD shows exactly what we do to heat the 5,000 square foot house. It's easier than you might think. This photo was taken out the front window of the house looking back toward the south. THIS WINTER (2006) WE HAVE ONLY SPENT $5.00 ON HEAT! |
