Recently discovered these guys' YouTube channel. They're a gay couple building a shipping container house together and doing permaculture in the Appalachian Mountains/West Virginia. Thought it might be of interest to some folks in this thread. Must say they are pretty dang inspiring. Makes me want to hurry up and find my beau (I know you're out there, somewhere) so we can get started!
