Build Your Off-The-Grid Home With Recycled Materials
Conventional building materials are just fine for many people. But for off-the-gridders who must be conscious of their budgets and their energy usage at every step along the path, the situation is more complex. Photo: Off The Grid News By Nathan FOff Grid NewsJune 26, 2013
If you have decided to pursue an outside-the-box off-the-grid lifestyle, you can’t afford to neglect any details or blithely ignore any possibilities that would allow you to save money and preserve precious energy resources, and the building materials you choose when you start a new construction project or renovation should reflect your concern with efficiency, affordability, durability, and sustainability. If you choose the wrong building materials or acquire them from the wrong source, the extra expenses you rack up in both the short and long term could be just enough to bankrupt you and put you off your land.
And you most certainly should not have a fear of the unknown here.
