RE: [GBlist] Small cabin suggestion

["Craig Cyr" <cyr@whidbey.com>]

Alright, alright....ENOUGH! I've received numerous criticisms (mostly
directly to me) about how awful I'm being to my poor dear mother because
I don't plan to have a full kitchen. If you must know: 

She has already set her apartment on fire twice. She is not able to be
safe in a kitchen with a stove/oven. However, she'll certainly have a
small frig, perhaps a microwave, coffee-pot, toaster, etc.

Trust me. I'm a nice guy. So is my wife. We are trying to do the right
thing by building an environmentally responsible, small dwelling that
she can be comfortable in. And where she won't be a burden on the
taxpayer through a state Medicaid program. 

I was looking for some suggestions on environmentally responsible
designs and building systems. I thought the list would have some helpful
suggestions. I thought wrong.

Without a small kitchen it's not a home, just an out building with a
toilet.
