  We bought a foreclosed 3 storey 1884 brick rowhouse in downtown Pittsburgh ( Northside)  and spent 10 years restoring it.  Sold it in 2 days on craigslist and purchased our earthship compound here in Taos.  Now there is a fully restored historic home in Pittsburgh and we have our earthships without the environmental impact of building  new ones.

  We always see these earthship projects in the desert southwest - it's refreshing to see it being done in a very different climate.  I'd love to see a follow up in a few years on how this completed home performs in northern winter conditions, and how well this adapts as you continue to move north and the frost line gets deeper.

  I live in New Mexico, Santa Fe, to be exact, and I have to tell you this is the way to save your life, your family, and friends too...  If you are sick due to living on the grid, you very well may save your life and get off the meds, cutting the ties that bind you to a system failing us all.  Make your own way, change your life, build your home using some basic practical instruction that anyone can understand.   Create meaning in your life. Start now, do it today.   It isn't easy to get up and get going; you must, we must... You will be glad you did something courageous, tell your story, teach your family, watch them flourish...

  "Mother Earth News" was my "go to" magazine and life style way of life starting back in the 70"s. When I got out of the Marine Corps in "75"...I hitch-hiked across the US with just my pack and gear., Along the way, I came across others living ecologically friendly lives and more productive and happier lives. I live a simple, minimal life with homelessness on occasion, but I'm happier helping others and finding work here and there. Wishing all a safe and better day...

  I first came across earthships 15 years ago and wanted to take off to New Mexico to see them. Life happened so I’m still here in Pa, but I have been mulling these concepts around in my head for some time. <br>A month ago I came up with an earthship greenhouse design for my backyard. <br>Seeing others in Pennsylvania are exploring these types of structures is so exciting to me! I have never brought an earthship to someone here that knew what I was talking about. I’m so glad this concept is spreading.

  If everyone looked outside the box and downsized their comfort zones with fast and easy it’s amazing how free they can live

  Be &nbsp;sure to get those permits so police can&apos;t shut it down as an illegal building that might have to be torn down.
