DIY: the hamster in my brain runs round and round, round and round, round and round...

Since I've already bothered my poor beleaguered spouse with more crazed do it yourself information than she can tolerate, and we don't have any land upon which to build yet, file these under investigate at a later time.

For the construction of Ewok Village 2000, we'll need some solid wall yurts from Source for Affordable Yurts, SmilingWoods Yurts (metal roof kits!), or Oregon Yurtworks.

Next, we'll need some greenhouse domes from Shelter Systems.

Never mind the composting toilets or photovoltaic cells or wind power generators or microhydro or earth-berming ;)

Or, there's the simpler castle set up, if we have access to a whole bunch of steel containers, welding/cutting equipment, and something to help hoist everything in place.

And there's always the rustic log cabin, should all technology fail us. Better print it on acid-free archival quality paper, ha ha ha.

Then, we could always get a diesel fuel bus and copy this family. Of course, we'd spend our time in some Road Warrioresque driving from restaurant to restaurant in search of used vegetable oil to convert to biodiesel... and it's way more work than I could do at this moment. Walls of Doom and plumbing fixes aside, Mr. Fixit Fox can't do much along those lines.
