Introduction

Welcome! We have established this blog as a record keeper of all the adventures soon to come as we research, design, and build our Futurehome. Never to be of the "off the rack" type, our home will be fully customized and somewhat of an ongoing experiment as we venture into green and sustainable living. We plan to stick to largely conventional building materials and standards, but will incorporate many of the green technologies that exist and are feasible for our climate and standard of living. It is also our prerogative to maintain a simple, affordable, and most of all efficient space, without an excessive use of materials and resources. This isn't to say, however, that we won't employ some of the design elements we have become accustomed to in our current 1920's Colonial home; we just want to make sure we do things intelligently and logically.

To that end, how can we possibly make all the puzzle pieces fit together? Well, it will certainly be a fun and informative challenge. We hope you will enjoy our journey with us.

Somewhere herein lies Futurehome.
