“From no-waste, no-impact, buy-nothing, no-money to living tiny, there are a multitude of saner and more courageous alternatives to the unthinking, zombie wastefulness of mainstream living.

Wayne, a sculptor, and Catherine, a retired ballerina and carver, began building this extraordinary home back in 1992.
