Ohm Free: The House that Ras & Mimi Built: Turtle's pace Downgraded to a Snail's pace
http://ohmfreemimi.blogspot.com/2014/12/turtles-pace-downgraded-to-snails-pace.html
Sunday, 7 December 2014. Turtle's pace Downgraded to a Snail's pace. It's been months since I've written a post and I'm having trouble knowing where to begin. It will seem to you, from the photos, like a lot has been accomplished here at Turtle Falls but then when I remind you that the last post was August 22nd you may wonder what is taking so long. I wonder that every day too even though I'm livin' the dream. Here are some photos of what's gone into building passive house Casa Tortuga to date:. The firs...

Friday, 20 December 2013. Here's to hoping there are no more 4 month delays! That was the last line I wrote in my. Previous post. Famous last words! One should never think or write such ridiculous words at the end of November in this part of the country. What was I thinking? Mother Nature has a way of getting the last word in.always. Here's what the building site looks like now. Whiteness as far as the eye can see! And it's snowing again as I write this! Clearing trenches with the trusty hammer. Energy E...

Ohm Free: The House that Ras & Mimi Built: November 2013
http://ohmfreemimi.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 20 November 2013. Let the building begin! I can't believe it was the 2nd week of July when I last posted. A lot of life has happened since then, but not a lot of building. Until now! We were hoping to be well into the project by this point, with not-so-distant visions of enjoying Turtle Falls in something other than a mobile mouse house. Poor Priscilla! The Reader's Digest version goes something like this. Ras with her new, but gently-used, water toy. But why the delay in the building, you ask?

Saturday, 21 June 2014. 65279;You are probably wondering what is going on here at Turtle Falls. It's the first day of summer already and the progress with the building is moving along at a turtle's pace.thanks to the weather! Construction around this area. One would think we are building a swimming pool rather than a house. Check out the short video of trying to keep the water out of the foundation form so when the rebar guys do finally show up they don't have to install it wearing hip waders. As a si...

Wednesday, 10 July 2013. We're finally adding, not subtracting.and a small visitor. Finally, we have reached the stage where taking stuff (trees, excavated soil) off the land has ceased and adding stuff (gravel fill) has begun. This is a welcome stage and the anticipation to see the beginnings of a house is as big for us as Christmas morning is for a 6 year old. But until then, here are a few photos of preparing the pit for the foundation. Geotechnical engineer (in orange) checking to see if we are down.
