Hello, natural builders,
I'm offering a great opportunity for someone who would like to continue a
project which was intended to become a healing retreat center, or it could
just be a farm.  Located 20 miles north of Topeka, Kansas, on the Potawatom=
i
Indian Reservation, I have a finished cob cottage with a complete solar
system (w/components housed in another cob building); rural water, radiant
heat; septic for blackwater; branched drain graywater system; and a second
unit (to be a living room) begun last summer of post-&-beam, roofed with
clay tile but as yet no strawbale walls.  This second unit also has a
Faswall block basement, and is two stories high (for balcony or second
floor).  These are on 30 acres: 20 are timber and 10 tallgrass prairie in a
conservation reserve program earning about $500 per year.

I'm a retired woman and enjoyed building & living in the cob cottage; but
labor on the second unit was by local guys who had no natural building
experience, and I'm out of money and out of patience to be a builder, when =
I
need to "play" a while, pursuing other artistic endeavors and simply
enjoying my retirement. Yet I totally believe in renewable energy concepts
and would be willing to continue this project on an artistic consultant
basis, if needed.  The great part is that the Potawatomi are a sovereign
nation, and they do not require building codes, so you won't have to hassle
over that.  The country is beautiful here, and the people are friendly and
helpful.  For further information, please call me at 785-966-3095.

Dorethy from Kansas
