The HOA says they might shoot your dog but they’re friendly, really

Awesome? Not awesome? I can’t decide. It’s unusual, and it’s clean, and it’s weird, and it’s sort of pretty. But it’s made out of mud? Or something? I don’t know, I live in a frikkin rain forest (admittedly one with roads and Thai takeout) and I can’t help but think that stucco houses are a practical joke people play on tourists like me. “Oh, sure, we make our houses out of mud, and they last for decades, uh huh…”
Plus there’s the whole problem of it being in New Mexico. Nothing against New Mexico itself, but I get anxious if I’m not near a large body of water — some primal bit of my lizard brain thinks that if everything goes pear-shaped I’ll be able to retreat to the sea. So maybe it’s not for me, even if the house is “healthy mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually” whereas my current house is in therapy and has been for years with no sign of progress.
“The home is located in the famous Greater World Community established by Mike Reynolds – the progenitor of Earshships. For various reasons, this community is the only one like it in the world!” says the listing. Various reasons. You know, stuff. Just… stuff.
Oh, I tease. I really do think it’s awesome. You can read more about their planned community here and here and pretty much everywhere.

Loveliest exchange:
SM: It’s a little like a kindergarten with those graphic representations – this is a window, and here’s a sun shape so you know! This is a fireplace, and here’s a flame shape so you know! Frankly, that’s a little insulting.
Stuart: Imagine what the toilets look like …

Loveliest comment, by tuulikki: Just be glad you’re not a secretary at the local school, trying to order materials.
“School name, ma’am?”
“Truth or Consequences.”
“Ah, and where did you say that was?”
“Elephant Butte.”

Kandi found a real gem. I’ll let her tell you about it.
“Paving stones in the yard…right on!”
“Paving stones on the porch… makes sense.”
“Paving stones on the counter… o-kaay, things are starting to get weird.”
“Paving stones on the wall. I think you’ve lost me.”

Solves the whole "WHICH cabinet?" problem
Jul. 31, 2008
This house — cheap, cheap, cheap! — was found by Kandi, who writes: “We were going to get rid of all the cabinets, but then there would be no place for the range hood…” (She also points out that they have only one interior photo, and this is what they chose.)
