Hi everyone,

Just e-mailing to let you know that we have finally broken ground on our 
house at 2nd and Cascadilla Street!

Our goal with this project is this: out of love for God and God's creation, 
and all our neighbors near and far, to create a house in downtown Ithaca which 
will enable us to live simply and sustainably.  

The house will be about 1300 Square Feet with about 200 SF outdoor living 
area.  
Foundation: Durisol insulating concrete forms.  
Walls: The 2 story frame will have double stud walls of local lumber with 
cellulose insulation (R32).  
Floors: local wood
Exterior finish: Stucco
Roof: metal
Heat: Masonry stove, passive solar
Electricity: Grid tied PV
Hot water: Solar preheated

I'll be e-mailing updates and requests for information & help as things 
develop.  

"Tomorrow is our permanent address"
