They moved into an abandoned double-wide trailer on their 35 acre property and began raising chickens and goats for milk, as well as tending a large garden. After 17 years in the mobile home, they began to build a larger home themselves, cutting local trees for beams and collecting stones for the walls. It took them seven years to construct the home which is one big "great room" connected to the old trailer by a small door. For cooking and heating, they use a wood-fired stove, as well as the Rumford fireplace they built from plans found at the library.
Many of their appliances are human-powered which they see as "appropriate technology". "One thing you'll notice around here", explains Evan, "Is that if you're going to do things by hand, you're got cranking: almost everything cranks".

Evan has used his extensive collection of primitive hand tools to make everything from cabinet drawers to chair legs.
