We are (50 yrs. young couple, and one dependent adult) presently searching for land on which to move our mobile home so we can build a more earth-friendly dwelling and practice living lightly on the land. We're both new to the challenges of building and homesteading.

Joy,

Have you looked into co-housing? ... not so restrictive as intentional.

If you're building forms...you might want to look into rammed

earth...depending on what the earth is like where you're building.

You can building a slip form (may be what you've planned).

I have a green builder friend who built a nice one...including a

half-second story. Straw bale is pretty popular around here. Someone

even built a 'free form' straw and mud house.

I think some of those new insulating materials are very good...perlite

etc.

I used a " green " material called icynene on an older house...under the

roof of house and garage. I would have done the walls but I have

asbestos siding. http://www.energysmartinsulation.com/faq.html
