Houses and homes interest me. They always have, just as well too as I made my living selling them, renting them and renovating them but I have always hankered after a Yurt or Tipi - something I have yet to persuade my other half is a great idea and he screams with laughter every time I broach the subject :) I have on my bookshelves, a stack of "alternative " living books, green homes, the odd "shack" and shed book, holiday home manuals as well a a few files stashed with leaflets and brochures about Tipis, Yurts, log cabins and whatever, on how to create your ideal green and sustainable home. These have been carted around from move to move until we moved to the country when we discovered that you just don't need all the trappings we used to think were essential. We are now interested in more natural homes - the home that reflects your lifestyle is far more import...
Ever thought about generating your own electricity ? Growing your own food, living sustainably ? Maybe keep a chicken or two and some animals ? Living off the grid may not be for everyone but for enthusiasts its the bees knees and you don't need to go totally off grid to become a part time urban farmer.
