Kim.  I had to go in front of the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance to build my house.  (code states house needs to be a minimum of 1,500 sq ft)  I was the first to challenge it...and I won.  Anyhow...I put a 3 ring binder together with about 18 sections on why this home of alternative construction made sense. Packed full of relevant work, publications, etc.  (Speed loved it when I showed him)  I did a lot of over kill.  I went way beyond what I needed to do.  But now I have a heck of a resource.  Can help ya out with something like this if ya go this way.

Really????  Everything in my 'book' is a compilation of the work of others...I documented the sources though.

I don't think too many would be interested in it...besides you, Speed, Bishop and a couple of other's have done a pretty thorough job of documentation already (for free).

I think our place will look a little different than your guys...not as much like a bunker and maybe a bit more 'residential looking'...same low tech approach.
