If you'd asked us a few years ago, Hey how about building a "Tire House" to retire in?, our answer would have been, "A what?", and then "Are you nuts?"... After some surfing on the net, and then a tour of an actual tire house, we then decided that this was the direction that we wanted to go. We live on a farm with solar and wind power already and decided that this was the next step. To be totally off the grid was something that I have always wanted and just the concept of a tire house was just amazing to me... Imagine, living in a house that you can basically build by yourself, using materials that would normally be buried in a landfill site. A house that can be totally off the grid and have no need for a central heating and cooling system. It's a house that requires no septic system, instead using a grey water recovery system and composting toilet to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible..
