Dear Saligaonetters, As some of you know, we are in the process of building our family house on Muriel's family plot in Pilerne.
We will be building as eco-friendly a house as possible with as many local and alternate, sustainable technologies we can manage, trying of course to keep it primarily, very low cost. An esential feature will be to Reduce-Reuse-Recycle - including rain water which will be harvested and chanelled back into the village water table, as well as grey water which will be recycled for the plants. To this end we are looking out for any old material - tiles, roof timber, doors, windows, wooden columns - *anything* that we can reuse and recycle first to cut costs, but also to reduce the creation of more junk and garbage. If you know of anyone who has such material we would be happy to buy it. If anyone is *unfortunately* pulling down an old house with a wooden first floor, we would like the floor boards for our first floor. As far as possible, we want to keep out all steel and concrete (RCC). Write to us at <anothergoa AT gmail.com> if you can help us with anything we need. Warm regards and solidarity. Muriel & Mario. -- ................................................................ there *is* anOTHERgoa @ <http://www.anothergoa.blogspot.com> & <http://www.youtube.com/anothergoa> ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' muriel & mario, "villa faria", 5/3 donvaddo, saligao. bardez. goa. 403511. tel: 0832-2278276 / 2409999 <anothergoa AT gmail.com> '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ This message comes via the Google Groups "Saligao-Net" group.
