Creating A Simpler Life Off-Grid - Invidious

Creating A Simpler Life Off-Grid

Building our dreams...

We're Rich & Kathie, a retired couple living off-grid and building our dream of a super energy efficient underground green roof dome home and sustainable homestead in the Adirondacks! If you are curious why we chose this house, how it was built from start to finish, or how we live off grid in the Adirondack mountains then you are in the right place. It's a work in progress toward creating a simpler, healthier, and happier life, but simple doesn't mean easy! We hope you join us as we experience the adventures of living off-grid in the mountains & problem solve the challenges of building our super energy efficient underground concrete dome and homestead from raw forested land here in the beautiful Adirondack Park :-)
