Eco-friendly Repairs/Upgrades...

Plans to patch this place up and bring it up to speed with the 21st century:

-New door jam(was busted into before we bought it),

-new gutters that attach to rain barrels(downspouts were jacked by aluminum recyclers),

-thermophilic composting toilet(because I'm not sure the plumbing's all there),

-natural insulation(as this is 95 years old and needs updating),

-and refinishing the hardwood floors(which means tearing up the carpet and doing each room at a time.)

Plans only start there, the updating of the lighting to have a solar tube, a solar attic fan, graywater catchment and irrigation, and solar water cistern are some future plans, just not yet.

Offer accepted!

On July 15th, 2010 we finally went under contract for a house in the west end of Louisville. (You know, the "bad" part of town?)

This was our third house. But you know what they say.

So, soon we will own .12 acres along with a house.
The two large dogs, and 5 (remaining) chickens will help break in the yard.

It's going to be fun!
