Great to hear that you too are also newbies in NC. We are as well.........we have land in Old Fort, right outside of Asheville and moved to the area in a tent. Since, we have built a pallette house, repaired the water pump, brought some storage sheds on the property, dismantled an airstream covered in that foam spray stuff, and are in the process of building an underground greenhouse. We would love to hear more about what you are doing....sounds very interesting. Where are you located??

We are working on a walapini near Asheville, NC in a small town called Old Fort. So far, the area to be dug is on a hill, and we are digging into the hill from a lower level of land below. There is a creek nearby that is a lot lower than where we are digging, but we have hit water about 5-6 feet down. Any suggestions on this? Also, any budget-minded suggestions to roofing/venting? Heat in winter?....average lows are in the 20's in the winter, but can get down to a little below zero. I know that we can get some average-joe plastic to cover the top, but what else might be a possibility that would hold up longer over time??.....thinking at least 5 years or so. Any really basic information.......simple to understand.....would be great. We need all the guidance we can get on this project, planning is necessary in any project.
