Much of this has turned up as a result of my desire for a home of my own, and trying to find a way to achieve that goal on a limited income. The concept of "wanting less" is the main vehicle.
Tiny Houses.
Jay Shafer is really into the tiny house movement.
Check out his Youtube Stuff.
Mr Sharkey's Home Page
Housetrucks and stuff.
Check out THIS link to Mr Sharkey's tale of how he got into housetrucks and where it lead him. It's not a finished memoir, but a good read nonetheless.
Frugalkiwi.
Frugal living in New Zealand. There's chickens, craft, cooking, household tips. Just lots of handy and interesting stuff. Check out the DIY Chest Refridgerator.
The Zero Waste Home.
Some people think this woman is crazy. I think it's fascinating.
Here's a youtube link for a quick rundown of what it's about.
1880 Cottage.
The cutest little kitset houses. Although currently still way out of my price-range, I love the style of these little houses.
Green Design will Save the World!
Inhabitat. A kind of newsfeed of green ideas from around the world.
Building an Earthship.
This family is building an Earthship, but there are sections on frugality, farming, technology, etc.
Good Magazine.
This is the online version of the New Zealand magazine. Sustainable, green, that sort of thing. Some of it is fairly simplistic, but some of the articles surprise you with their insight.
That Roundhouse.
Just plain cool.
The earthbag building blog. Pretty self explanatory.
The Halfmoon Earthbag Cabin.
An earthship built with earthbags instead of tires.
Letting go of stuff. (The Joy of Less)
A blog about minimalism.
A Low-impact Woodland Home.
The cutest little hobbit house!
The loveable loo.
It's called Humanure. I'm both intrigued and skeptical as to whether I could actually manage it.
More links to come.
