My husband and I undertook a similar project in the Loire Valley in France – an extraordinary phase in our lives. We lived in our cave- house permantly for a decade, researching and using traditional building and heating methods. We still spend several months every year there and think of it as our ‘true’ home.

Just finished watching the astonishing episode of grand designs where MS patient converts Paleolithic cave into living space. As an engineer, designer and musician I faced a similar challenge in the high mountains of Western North Carolina. I discovered I was faced with a serious but not life threatening illness and had to leave my profession. I spent the next five years building a beautiful guest house east of Asheville, NC. It became the inspiration of the series TV ‘tiny houses’.
I just wanted to thank both Channel 4 and the host of this series for his acknowledgement that projects like this are their own medicine and therapy in coping with serious challenges in life that would otherwise literally defeat us completely! Thank you!
From distant shores,
