This is a journal of the design and home building experience for the Natural House I built for myself. The design is a precursor to the Windsor 500 plan shown on my website, dumbhome.com.

Well, it's taken a bit longer to get here than I'd expected, but groundbreaking is scheduled for next week!! I've had the foundation staked out for construction. Rather than a conventional concrete foundation, I've designed a rubble trench foundation with a 12" x 12" reinforced concrete grade beam to support the walls. This type of foundation will never suffer from moisture issues (because of all the stone and drain pipe), and it generates much less carbon dioxide since it minimizes the use of concrete.
