RE: Road trip from Belgium to Earthship India @eco-alex
I am a bit biased, but I highly recommend the north of Spain, that is where I cme from and where we are moving to on Jan 2018. We are seeking to do something pretty much along the lines of an Earthship and we know there is a budding sustainable community that we would love to nurture. The planning is not as lax as in India but it is definitely more ameanable to this sort of thing than the UK is... There are many abandoned rural homes with 1-5 hectares of land for about 60k Euros.... Plus look at the place! This is MY paradise. Mountain and beach within 1 hr drive of each other.
BTW, this is our initial design. Will plan to make the top floor out of straw bale, we are researching the feasibility of mixed construction methods.
Husband is a heating engineer so he is playing with different heating systems if we find temp is not quite what we hoped, and we are planning to introduce a rocket stove mass heater that will incorporate underfloor heating and a hot water tank in that small understair cupboard to charge the thermal battery further in the winter.
Hi Olayer, Where in the north of Spain if I may ask?
Asturias of course! ; -)
Hi @olayar, i never replied to your amazing pictures and plans for Asturias. It looks astonishing there and i am following you now in the hope of getting some 2018 updates on this! Love from India
