▬ ABOUT US ▬
We are Rich & Kathie, a retired couple building our dream home: A SUPER ENERGY EFFICIENT OFF GRID earth sheltered home in the Adirondacks!
The house will be covered with about 30" of soil which helps to maintain an internal temperature between 45 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit in winter & summer respectively. This means that in the winter we will only need minimal heat that we plan to provide with a small wood burning stove and we shouldn't need any air conditioning in the summer at all!
With inflation right now, the energy efficiency of this house is a HUGE Plus! But, it also means that we have a super tight budget that is getting tighter by the day. For this reason we DIY everything we reasonably can and find creative ways to save money such as repurposing.
Please subscribe and join us to see how we manage the challenges of staying in budget and exactly how energy efficient this house actually is when it is done!
We appreciate all your support :-)

Gorgeous! Your videos are worth the wait.
Wow! Such an awesome comment! Thanks so much 😊😁
The wife has been patiently waiting to make her own countertops. She's going to use some maple we've cut from our property that we're taking to a local Amish sawyer to have cut into 2 1/4" slabs that we'll cut down to size and glue together for a butcher block counter. We LOVE the coffee cup nook in the wall you did! Your place is really coming together beautifully. And we know the pain of the daily checklist too. We finally took some time off this winter to recharge and get a jump on things with a fresh attitude after 18 months of non-stop building. One of these days we'll need to take a trip in your direction and stop by for a coffee..
Nice to take a break for sure! And that will be a beautiful countertop when it’s done! Let us know and maybe we can meet halfway for coffee 👍not sure how far you guys are.
Good Morning To Both Of You 👌👍😇 OUTSTANDING WORK THAT YOU HAVE DONE BOTH OF YOU 😇😇👍👍👌👌CHeers 🍻🍻

Our pleasure! Thanks so much for watching!
Absolutely beautiful! You two are getting to be real craftsmen.
Wow, thank you so much!
Nice work, looks great.
Rich stop putting your fingers in front of your saw please, i've seen anyone do that. My uncle use to be a custom cabinet maker in Merrick, had his shop on Sunrise Hwy, never saw him cut wood like that. Ok lecture over. Lol
Thanks
The bathtube you put for your sink is as big as mine 😂. And I love spacious sink, I think you'll too. Great job with the countertop! 👏👏
Bathtub 😂 well said and I do love it!!
You did an amazing job with your counter top 😊. It is beautiful 🥰. It is ridiculous the prices are today. Talk about price gouging 😡.
Thanks. And seriously, within a year the price doubled!!! Very frustrating
Beautiful job guys. Team work makes the dream work. 😊😊
Yes it does! Thank you 😊
Fantastic job you two looks great Rich is a talented man and you are a great helper.
Thanks!
Beautiful job as always. "Simply" love it!
Thank you so much!
This was a "nail-biter" to watch; but, the two of you have nerves of steel and pulled off the entire countertop and sink installation like Pros. It looks wonderful - congratulations.
Thank you 😊It was scary for sure! Soo happy to be able to wash dishes properly now!
Beautiful work…the countertop looks Great !
Thank you!
Super job! We put a Home Depot butcher block countertop on our island, too. We didn't do any of the good work you did like rounded corners and rounder edges and putting in a sink. We did screw in some small metal plates because (on ours) one the wood pieces started to separate. Maybe some small metal plates in front of the sink to insure the wood pieces don't separate there over time? Just a suggestion.
Thank you so much for that suggestion. 😊👍
Great job, guys!
Thanks so much!
Turned out really nice 👍
Thank you! 😊
Looks great you guys!
Thanks so much!
Your labors create professional looking projects. Great job on all of it...beginning to end. 👏
Awe! Thanks so much!
Great job. Love what you’re doing with the kitchen. You 2 work so well together.
Thank you so much!
Wow! The counter tops look beautiful!🙂👍👍🇨🇦
Thank you!
I would have cut those pieces outside! Dust = bad for lungs
Yes, and we would have if we could have🤷♀️
Nice work!!
Thanks!
