Found some used tempered glass windows from old sliding doors

Gonna def do some type of window wall to make the tiny space feel bigger and to look out into the jungle :-)  Here's some ideas

Thinking about water catchment for off grid

A lot to consider... here's a site I want to save, lots of options http://www.tank-depot.com/

Was just quoted $850 bucks for a 500 gallon poly squat tank here in Hawaii... yikes.... I've GOT to do better... Craigslist, here I come!

a great site

Some great ideas through this site... I def want to get further away from disposable one use items. It's pretty encouraging to see all of the recycling options here in Hawaii, and also many, many people carry reusable shopping bags, make is easy, easy.
