STRUCTURES in the SHADY GROVE
Future designs and structure information will be posted here as they are being planed Big plans for 2019 as I start building my first off grid 8 x 8 cabin on Shady Grove
Even BIGGER plans in 2020 when I attempt to build a larger 10 x10 cabin
Planning to build the bigger one on the NW corner of the property.
No electricity No Water - Using Rain Water and Solar Panels
I have most of the wood for the 10 x 10 already donated to me for 2020
I just need to haul it up to Shady and nail it all together
By the summer of 2020 I hope see the 8 x 8 cabin completed and the bigger one started
August 2020 - The cabin still need a roof that is permanent (currently using plywood and tarps as a temp roof) and I still need to shingle or cover two sides of the cabin outer walls. The whole inside is unfinished --BUT very cozy and comfortable at this stage. Hope to get more done before Winter 2020 comes in.

Hot Water Shower Sketch
Water Collection for Shower rough plans in 2019. In this sketch Im using a wood stove and a old water tank and solar pumps to make a "re-usable water" shower ...I can take long showers and not loose any water (think Hot Tub)
Hot Water Solar Shower
Shower is a portable 12 volt system that uses a small pump in the bucket that moves heated water up to a shower head - bucket uses 2.5 gallons per average quick shower. 9/2/19
