Question : Is anyone up for an adventure to NM to help build an Adobe House or Earth-ship?
I am a 36 year old guy that currently lives in Miami, FL. I own a one acre lot in Socorro County, New Mexico and have plans to build some sort of eco-friendly living structure that can be self sustainable and serve as my future home. This area is semi-desert with an elevation of about 4300 ft. The property is 45 minutes south of Albuquerque and the rio Grande is 8 miles to the west. The property is very rural and is surrounded by beautiful mountains, native flora and fauna. There are very few neighbors, most of whom are running on solar power since there is no electricity or public water in this area. After researching several green building methods used in NM like Earthbag Buildings, Adobe Buildings, and Earthships, I have been drawn more and more to the idea of living in a similar place. Seeing documentaries on self sustainable living (such as “Garbage Warrior”) have also inspired me to do this. I am not wealthy, in fact I was laid off my job 5 months ago and have been working on and off since then. I figure this is my chance to embark on my adventure. People tell me that my idea is unconventional and ill-timed, but I have never thought of myself as conventional and i think I could use a break from city life. If there is anyone out there is willing to join me in my journey please let me know and we can make some plans. I dont care if you are a man or a woman black white gay str8 or whatever, nobody’s perfect. Just be a kind person who cares about the environment and other people. No violent people or drama please.
