| THIS PAGE IS DEVOTED TO CHANGE. MY HOME AND WORKSHOP ARE LOCATED IN MAINE, IN THE USA. THIS IS WHERE I BUILD MY FLUTES,DRUMS,WIND HARPS AND GONGS AND TEACH ABOUT THEM. THE HOME AT THE BOTTOM STARTS WITH A KIT MADE BY 'DELTEC HOMES ' OF NORTH CAROLINA. I CO-OWN THE LAND WITH MY FRIEND BONNY WHO ALSO OWNS A DELTEC HOME NEXT TO MINE. WE HAVE FORMED A "FRIENDS COOPERATIVE" IN WHICH WE SHARE RESOURCES WHILE WE BOTH ENJOY EVOLVING OUR INDIVIDUAL LIVES. WE HAVE A UNIQUE WORKING RELATIONSHIP THAT AFFORDS EACH, HIS OR HER OWN LIFESTYLE, WHILE HAVING GREAT NEIGHBORS ! MY HOME AND FLUTE SHOP IS "OFF-THE-GRID", MEANING THAT I AM NOT CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRICAL GRID IN ANY WAY. ALL MY ENERGY NEEDS ARE SUPPLIED BY THE SUN AND WIND. THE RAIN IS COLLECTED TO SUPPLY MY FLOWER AND VEGETABLE GARDENS. YOU WILL ALSO SEE THAT THE TWELVE SIDED HOMES FIT NICELY INTO THE LANDSCAPE. |
| THIS IS MY FLUTE SHOP. IT IS SUPPLIED BY A TWELVE VOLT SOLAR SYSTEM FOR LIGHTS, RECORDING MUSIC AND AN AC INVERTER FOR SMALL AC ELECTRIC TOOLS, WHEN NEEDED. |
| A BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN STREAM RUNS YEAR-ROUND THROUGH THE OUR FOREST MAKING A REFRESHING PLACE TO SIT AND CONTEMPLATE. MY DOG "CHO CHIN" (ON THE RIGHT) LOVES TO VISIT AND WATCH THE FISH AND FROGS. |
| THIS IS CHO CHIN. HE IS A SEVEN YEAR OLD MALE PEKINGESE OR "FOO" FROM CHINA. WE GO EVERYWHERE TOGETHER. ACTUALLY HE THINKS HE IS THE BOSS. THE MOOSE DO LISTEN TO HIS COMPLAINTS WHEN THEY COME AROUND. ( Did you ever wonder where they got the idea for Ewoks?) |
| OUR FOREST IS A RICH DIVERSE LAND CONTAINING MANY BIO REGIONS. THIS IS TEA BERRY AND LICHEN MIX LOCATED ON A BEAUTIFUL CLIFF NEAR MY HOME. ELSEWHERE ARE FOUND TRILLIUMS, PITCHER PLANTS, BUNCH BERRY, DOWNY RATTLESNAKE PLANTAIN AND WILD LILY'S OF ALL SORTS. |
| WINTER ON OUR LAND IS A QUIET TIME AS WELL AS A TIME TO REFLECT AND GO INWARD TO CREATE THE WORLD I WANT. |
| THE DELTEC TWELVE SIDED HOME AND THE VIEW ENTERING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY. NOTICE THE MEDICINE PRAYER WHEEL ON THE ROCK? JUST OUT OF VIEW (ON THE RIGHT) IS MY DELTEC, A COPY OF THE ONE YOU SEE HERE. THIS DELTEC IS OWNED BY BONNY OF "THE HEALING BRIDGE" A THERAPEUTIC HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONER AND FRIEND OF MINE. MY SHOP IS ALSO LOCATED TO THE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. |
| CHO CHIN AND I WORKING ON THE FLOOR JOISTS OF THE FIRST DELTEC. A COMPLICATED 15 DEGREE ANGLE FRAME IN 15 F DEGREE TEMPS !! |
| THE HOME OF ANCIENT FOREST MUSIC. A SMALL BUT EFFECTIVE SOLARIZED MUSICAL INSTRUMENT SHOP. Yes I know it is square! |
| THE DELTEC HOME (CAMDEN MODEL) IS A FREE STANDING, "TRUSS ROOF" SYSTEM WITH TWELVE WALLS THAT ARE COMPRESSED INWARD TO SUPPORT THE BUILDING AS A WHOLE. THE TEMPORARY PIPE SUPPORT AT LEFT, IS REMOVED ONCE ALL THE FASTENERS ARE IN PLACE AND THE ROOF IS COMPLETE, LEAVING AN OPEN ROOM WITH NO VERTICAL SUPPORTS NECESSARY FOR SUPPORT. OF COURSE THIS ONE IS UNFINISHED. |

| NATURE SEEMS TO RESIST BEING SQUARE, SO WHY SHOULD I LIVE IN A SQUARE HOME? |
A BULL MOOSE COME TO INSPECT
MY HOUSE SITE. HIS SHOULDERS
