New house & problem: need ideas on where to CSS

Looks like they lost their power supply also. Wonder where the supply and waste water setup is?

 

Seems they have some kind of water purification system that is driven by the wind turbine mounted on the roof..

Additionally, the NYTimes article mentions that they have a composting toilet. It's the fourth article down in the search.

Today, solar panels heat the water, and a wind turbine on the roof generates electricity. Rainwater is collected in a 3,000-gallon cistern, then filtered, treated and pumped through the house for cleaning purposes. (Mr. Wood claims it is safe enough to drink, “but my children don’t trust me so we don’t,” he said.) After years of using an activated seawater system that draws in seawater, then treats and filters the waste before releasing it back into the ocean, Clingstone now has the latest generation of composting toilets.

 

LOL!

Thousands like it, literally! They are all over the place in Thia.... Some are bit scary, they look like they will fall over any minute!

LOL!! Would be nice would it?

Those 2 are real pics, I think from CT or RI, around Mystic if I'm not mistaken.... I've seen that house from my boat....

LOL! That's a classic!!!

 

You might have been thinking of a similar one they just put in the Grand Canyon. I recently saw that on TV, similar building overhanding the canyon wall, all glass.....

 

House is on your left as you enter Narragansett Bay if you've been to Newport, RI or the vicinity.... Seen it from the water myself a couple of times..

 

This one is real, an Orthodox monk lives there in the country of Georgia.

 

You can make out the stairs/ladder in this view:

 

Well, at least he won't have too many unwanted visitors.

 

Yep.

Here's a recent article:

The monk who lives up a rock to get closer to God

"For the first two years there was nothing up here so I slept in an old fridge to protect me from the weather," said the 59-year-old monk. Later, Christian supporters renovated a derelict chapel and built a cottage to provide him with a few creature comforts.

Mr Qavtaradze makes the 20 minute and perilous climb down a ladder attached to the pillar twice a week to pray at a small monastery at the foot of the tower. But he relies on daily provisions winched to him by supporters on the ground.​

 

If he needs help installing a firewood hoist, I may be able to help!!

 

You ARE the hoistmeister!
