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.
