After a long walk yesterday I came back eager to jot down a new design.
Currently I am caring for my elderly Grandmother and she uses a wheel chair and needs assistance
with all tasks. I'd like to eventually build multiple pallet cobins connected subsurface with earthen
ramps. Palletized cob breezeways with roofs will go over the ramps allowing movement from surface
to subfloor level with a wheelchair. Has anyone had experience building something similar for handicap
access? A geodesic greenhouse will sit over one of the cobins and a heavy duty hammock system will be woven
to allow for those who aren't handicapped to "hang out". A custom canvas bell tent will be sewn to
create shade as needed and a wooden platform will be built to care for trees/vegetation and create a second floor.
I'm seeking investors to help make this dream come true. All input and friendships created are welcome!
Really looking for experienced and valuable input. Thinking of building a prototype and then more. All who
help build will gain access to visit and spend time in the cobins we use for Airbnb according to how much labor
volunteers invest.
Best Wishes,
Amy

As for soil, I have a bioreactor in place and am currently working on my second run of compost from it. I have cinder block raised beds for the garden that I would like to move around to condition the soil underneath. I have the seeds and schedule set to growing not only for myself but whoever is helping. I have everything needed except the jars and food to can anything for myself and the person who helps.
I have plans for small buildings only, nothing major, and all the inside work can be done by myself it's just he heavyweight stuff I can't do. Running an underground wire from my power supply to the rv cute isn't that major an undertaking I just can't do it anymore. The 30amp or 50amp setup for an RV isn't that complicated. Water is fairly easy to run, digging the trench is the hard part. But it's been done and I have already placed a junction for easy future runs if needed.
I'm not sure why this isn't sufficient compensation for someone to live cheap so they can save for their future? I don't expect them to work constantly for me. The contract says 8 hrs a week. One full days work, they pay the power bill difference.
What am I missing? Is that expecting too much? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm not very good with other people's expectations.
