Andee won't let me live in one of these
I really enjoy reading about people who break away from the norm and live differently than everyone else. This Roundhouse is a good example. I love the idea of being self sufficient, and living off the land. I am a big fan of Home Power magazine.
The reason that I am so drawn to these folks is because of the creativity that they demonstrate in living their lives. They ignore the fact that all of the convieniences are readily available at the local hardware store, and build a solution to life's simplest problems from scratch.
Often by ignoring the socially accepted norm, they find a solution that is quite a bit better than what you can buy of the hardware store shelf.
