On the road with objects

With the basic tools & - knowledge in my back pack, I take my first step outside to work out my plan. Green Fluid Life is a way of living in the near future as we see it. Almost immediately when we were philosophizing about our future my wife asked a very common but realistic question: ‘What if we see a lovely house on our trip, will you take a step aside and change the original plan?’ What I learned in all those years watching programs about moving and constructing this way is that you have to be inventive and flexible. Always surprises will cross your path and you have to make concessions. Is it worse? No, the workout of all the ideas into plans creates a lot of knowledge even if it means that parts of the ideas will not be realized. The goal of this project is to design an ecological house, water reuse and an edible garden. And if so on the way, it can be expanded with other issues. The first step is thinking about the house. In ‘Grand Design’ we have seen different types of ecological houses. A house made of bales or partly under ground or made of wood or made of loam. The bale house in France was totally made by the owner, the English writer Mark Sampson. He had to find out all by himself after week of trainee ship by a bale house builder. For me it is not an option. I am not that self supporter and after searching on the internet there are companies who are creating a houses of bales in all kind of forms. We get our water from a tap. We pay the waterworks for it. The quality of the water is decreasing. Where we live is the water hardness 10. But through the years in a variety of television programs it becomes more and more obvious for waterworks companies to keep the water clean from chemicals and other pollution and it will not be better over the years. There are solutions when using rain water. My wife loves to work in our small garden. It is very green. Although we eat biological products, it is not in our garden. Until recently. That’s why this subject came on the agenda. Now we have informed you about our ideas and subjects. On the next pages they are further developed as I call them ‘articles’, separated in House - Water - Garden.
