Dallas....we are looking around Black Mountain and any other areas around Asheville were we can get a significant parcel of land. We are looking for "off the grid" land, or some might call it "dog land"...we are going to build a self-sustaining home whatb I like to call THE HUT. The home is made of old tires filled with dirt and pounded in for the load supporting walls and then layered with adobe like material. The power is DC and is supplied via wind, solar, and water stored in batteries......sound earth muffinish I know but we've stayed in one near Taos NM and they are really cool! We would basically have no reliance on city water, electric.......
