Howdy,
My friend and I were speculating where you live within Kansas and we landed on the Chase County area. Of course I don’t need your exact coordinates, but are we in the ballpark at least? My curiosity gets the best of me at times.
Also, what is your water supply? If you’re not using “city water”, how do you make your drinking water safe?
Your family is inspiring and your home is beautiful, I hope to see more news and instructional videos from here in the future!
You guys are doing great things
Thank you for your interest. We are not in Chase County – we are in Eastern Kansas. We have spring fed wells that we pump to our house with a solar pump system. For drinking we use a Big Berkey gravity water filter system. We will be doing workshops this spring and summer – the information will be on our site. Hope you can join us and learn how to live this lifestyle.
I so enjoyed your you tube video of building your home and living a family oriented life. I was so relaxed watching it, I think perhaps the flute agrees with me. I was saddened when it was two minutes to being the end. I did not want it to end. So I read other comments and was blessed to find this, an area to keep up with what is going on. Have a blessed March 25,2013 in 32 minutes. I have a corporate job, so I must go to bed and go to the grind tomorrow. I love the soap, the woolens, just perfect all of it. bye for now! aloha
You guys have given my husband and inspiration to follow our dream and stop talking about it. We get out of the Army in a couple months. We are looking for property to start living this way. I found your video and was blown away by your house. Love it. Would love to come to a workshop. Could you please e mail the information. Thank you.
So happy that you want to give this life a try. We will email you more information on our workshops shortly. Thank you.
When viewing your video on the building of your house I was noticing your tools. At 13:50 on the video, sitting on your sewing machine is a round gray piece of machinery with a long blue handle coming out of the center. My daughter and I decided this might have something to do with combing your wool. Can you tell us what it is? You are doing everything we are dreaming of doing in northern Arizona. You and your beautiful family lead a wonderful example of simply rich life. Thanks for sharing, Linda G
It is a drum carder – you and your daughter are correct – it’s for combing the wool. Hopefully you will be living your dream soon. It is a simple rich life and well worth it.
