Erica and Ernie,
My name is Jeremy Adams and I moved my family to the country 3 years ago from Denver where I did everything construction related from frame to finish work started as a custom finish carpenter but have literally done everything from start to finish including electrical, plumbing, some HVAC, tons of custom builtins and kitchen cabinets, drywall and plaster, tile and stone work just to name a few.
So where I am now, we moved to a town of about 140 people, where I along with my boys completely renovated a house where I built my first RMH based off your original plans with the exception of shorter piping and bench. Also built a root cellar with a gazebo built on top, and also built a 1300 sq ft green house where we do aquaponics (raising tilapia) where I also built my second RMH with a 10' bench which heated the entire greenhouse for the winter. I am always interested in learning new things and experimenting with new things " trying them in my back yard" I'm sure you know where that quote came from. Let me know if you have any additional questions. I'd love to learn more as we have just bought property in Stonewall Colorado where we are going to set up a small community of like minded friends and family.
Have a great day thanks Jeremy. I'll get pictures to you when I get home wed to show you the 2 RMH, stone work, and custom cabinet work at my personal house.
