Destiny, despite with enviro-leanings wanting to scream out, is not going to say anything derogatory about Nuri's house.

It's nice looking.

I completely understand.

It is nice looking, and I'm sort of with you on the enviro-leaning. I'm not usually a big house person. When Nick and I actually go to buy a house, it's going to be much more ....modest? This? Overwhelming.

But, look at it this way: I can garden (finally), we're renting, and it's a lot like co-housing.

Gardening is good. The only outdoor thing I will do at my home is garden, and I won't plant things that are useless. Except for sunflowers. I have a strange obsession with growing sunflowers. xD

And renting and co-housing is good as well.

I'd help in the edumacation Tea, unfortunately I was ignored for my completely factual comments in another thread he'd taken up residence in.

The reactionary ignore-listing is strong with this one ninja

Nuri: awesome place! The garden looks amazing! I've been looking into houses a lot lately; I've always wanted a Tudor house, but we don't really need that much space. Actually, we found this a few months ago, and are giving it serious thought. Though I'm not sure if it'd be big enough for the two kids she wants, plus our library/music room lol Still, a girl can dream!

OMG I WANT IT!!

My friend is taking a course on cobb housing in a couple months. I wish I could go- I don't have the time or money at this point.

Besides- there's a course on Vardo building I would rather attend. We have family blue prints, but I don't have enough working experience to apply them.

That sounds interesting, but I still think debris huts are my way to go.

I want to do cobb housing myself...although probably not in Illinois!

I hope we can find a fourth for the house. I'd love to do more in cohousing like that. The boys don't want to though, but I'd love to have another woman in the house.

I tried to look up what cobb housing is on google.

But I keep getting some company..

Is it just buying a house with more than one family/couple/people that aren't related, or?

It apparently works well in Western Washington as long as you aren't building in a flood zone.

Maze>> Cobb Housing is a style of housing that is basically made of clay, earth and straw.

*pokes Google some more*

Is it named after a Native American tribe or something?

Look! Wiki was useful!  

[Maze]

Ah. That explains so much. XD

I was looking for 'cobb'.

I'm glad my girl isn't here to read this over my shoulder, she'd get jealous! lol The hormones aren't redistributing her weight very well and she's gonna end up with no hips whatsoever. Oh well, she does enough complaining for the two of us. I really like how she looks and how her body is changing *nods* I don't want to talk too much about this here though... *shrugs*

Tell her not to worry too much. For a lot of people HRT takes a really long time to do much of anything. In time she'll see a lot more changes.

Augh my boobs hurt so very much... x_x

Girl puberty involves a lot more physical pain than guy puberty I've noticed. And I haven't even experienced the worst part due to my lack of uterus.

Boy puberty seems more mentally painful however. wink

Well yes, but I don't think I represent the norm on emotional/mental response to male puberty. x_x

The problem with a lot of these eco-houses is that I have crazy hay fever, just living in a standard house can be really hard on me (and nothing seems to help it either). So the idea of having a house insulated with hay sounds not so fun for me. It sounds like there are ways of making them to make sure the hay doesn't rot or grow mold or anything, but just having the hay there might be a big problem for me >.< Stupid allergies making everything difficult (I've always wanted a newfie, but my partner's insanely allergic to all cute, furry things).

Tea, if you ever make a vardo, I'd love to see pictures! We're a fairly nomadic family, and as a kid I was promised that I'd get my grandma's RV when I was older. But found a lot of sites about vardos recently and they're so much nicer than RVs!!!

MY LIBRARY SOFTWARE IS FIXED. I CAN USE MY EBOOK READER AGAIN. I AM HAPPY. biggrin

Katie, I just wanted you to know that I love your sig quotes ^_^ I've never thought of shipping someone with K9, but I'm sure it gets a bit lonely in the TARDIS.

Thanks. heart It's actually from a discussion a friend and I were having on crackships, and what it takes to make a pairing count as a crackship. I think we were originally discussing Doctor/Master subtext in the old series, but it sort of evolved from there. ^_^
