Inga's House/SiteDocumentation

Here is a possible site at Factor e Farm as a possible building location for Inga's House. The potential location is marked as the white square, and it may be the location of the Solar Village. The location is selected for several reasons:


 * The soil at this location is suitable (see blog post for description of sample #2) as is, without having to amend it -The
 * The location is close to utilities
 * The slope of the site is suitable for drainage
 * A drainage channel is on the East side, allowing for water catchment for ponds if needed

 * Because of the slope of the land, the houses should face southeast, for good solar capture.
 * Problems of summer heating need to be addressed.
 * The immediate surrounding of the houses could be intensive gardens
