This year, Mark and I went to Burning Man for the second year in a row. On the way home from Burning Man, Mark made a decision that he would like to design and build a home before the year ends. We have been working on home designs almost every day since. We have made much progress! We have come up with a floor plan that we both love! It is small but it will meet our needs for the time being. We are planning to apply for a building permit as soon as our plans are complete. We were thrilled to learn that composting toilets and graywater systems are legal in the state of Hawaii! We have sent our plans to a draftsman and engineer for comments and suggestions. We intend to build this home without a mortgage.
