no real help for you but just wanted to pipe up and say that where I used to live, McMinnville Oregon, Western Oregon Waste had luscious long compost piles which were piped to provide all heat for the offices and recycling warehouses. way freakin cool!!!

Dave that property you're trying for is beautiful, I hope you get it! Good Luck! ha, I know what you mean about those curmudgeonly old forest farts...he is seeing what you're made of, stand strong, be respectful, don't suck up ha. It's a tricky dance but once you're "in" you are IN. A bottle of his favorite poison along with your next offer is a nice tip of the hat too ha.

Thanks for the info, if you end up in the area it would be cool to see what you do!

I am looking for something with a small cabin, small acreage within larger forest, enough sunny spot for a garden for myself, plus chickens. Cool neighbors of like mind def a plus--ie no McMansions. Close to water(stream) cool.

I tihnk that dome house could be a steal, it has to be cash, don't have cash liquid right now. or maybe it will still be there when it is ha!

Hi! one of my possibilities is on Alder-Mashel Rd, almost 5 acres with a "non existant" ie unbuilt to code but grandfathered in 1976 dome cabin. Could be a steal--structure tests positive for meth, in the process of determining how well utilities "work"--septic and electric to well. Which, I dont' think they work...but this situation could be a ideal situation for having permits blah blah in place and proceeding off grid. All structures seem sound, and meth abatement would not be horrendous(been reading up on that, in former life I was a pro cleaner).

SO that one is on my list...gathering information to use as lowball offer. I dont' think the septic works, there are gullies dug away from the house for grey water, and people poop out in the yard. The property has nice sun exposure, and a stream along the back line.

Well was vandalized (capacitor stolen) in the week between looking at the prop twice.

Maybe that info will help someone else. It's a great deal with potential. Absentee owner, cash only. Sold as lot with utilities but utilities may not be usable(electric works).

I am looking for a place and was hoping to find something near a bunch of other permies. I'm looking in the Yelm/Rainier/Eatonville area. Have a good prospect in Rainier--anybody near Rainier? Thanks! Celeste

PS I am starting over again, lost my place in Oregon. Had 10 wonderful years in the Oregon woods. Eager to start again.
