What a cute home. However I do have a teenager, so space is an issue.
Adobe (/əˈdoʊbi/, UK /əˈdoʊb/;[1] Arabic: الطوب) is a natural building material made from sand, clay, water, and some kind of fibrous or organic material (sticks, straw, and/or manure), which the builders shape into bricks (using frames) and dry in the sun. Adobe buildings are similar to cob and mudbrick buildings. Adobe structures are extremely durable, and account for some of the oldest existing buildings in the world. Compared to wooden buildings, adobe buildings offer significant advantages due to their greater thermal mass, in hot climates, but they are known to be particularly susceptible to earthquake damage.[2]
Make your adobe bricks. Mix the soil with water and straw to make a paste. Pour the adobe into the brick molds. The most common dimensions for bricks are 4x10x14 inches. Allow the bricks to dry for 10 days.

Yes we are still together. Our love for each other is strong however our desires and beliefs in life are much different.
Like right now. We have 10 acres with plenty of room for a garden, chickens, a beef cow or two. But that would mess the grass up. We have a large home but the doors are never locked because he does not see the need. His thought is what if someone needs something and we are not home. More than once I have drawn a gun on someone in our home only to find out it is a long time "friend" that entered without our knowledge.
We have come home to things missing from our home and my husband assumes a friend or family member has borrowed the item.
He supports me in any adventure I want to do but does not feel the same as I do about the world around us.
Distance is not an issue because he or I can travel whenever we need.
I would love to have the same goals and beliefs but that is just not happening. Bless his heart, I had a supply of canned food and freeze dried beef and chicken in our storage room. He decided to deep clean while I was visiting family and he donated it to the food pantry. It was a great gesture to help those in need, but he gave away so much of my supplies.
We are good for each other on so many different ways but this is not one of them.
So I adventure without him and he can benefit from it later. LOL
