A couple of nights ago Judy and I stayed with a friend who moved away from Ottawa last year. We are very grateful to have been guests in this wonderful, funky place and to have a visit with her.
Linda Archibald has a remarkable home south of Killaloe Station, and it is no trapper's shack. It is a livable and comfortable two story log house built to have a low impact on the environment and to be as much "off grid " as is practical for her. The logs are recycled, the electricity comes from her solar panel and battery system, she has her own deep well with a solar powered pump, a composting toilet, a wood stove and gas for cooking and light. Her telephone is a standard land line which gives her the internet connection she needs to work from here.
The little structure seen on the left is a screened in seating area for summer use and the trailer on the left was where she spent a lot of time before the new house was built. ( Mice have dominon over the trailer now.)
