INTERVIEW EXCERPT
Skip:
"Presently I'm really preparing to go south for the winter. I do a lot of inventing and stuff on the side. I'm trying to come up with different things that you can make your electricity with and you can help keep yourself warm and all these things made out of existing materials that are around us. Like making windmill blades out of car parts and all this stuff that we already have. Since everything costs so much more to go out and buy a new part for something, it really gets you, you can't do it. I'm always tinkering around and making things, rewinding car alternators so they'll make house current, designing cement floors for houses that have heat coils in 'em that you hook to the wood stove so you don't have to run the stove all the time - charges the floor up. When your feet are warm the rest of you is warm. Presently I'm putting Mike Mach's solar wall in up at his new house that he is building. When I get back I'm going to be building the greenhouse on the side of the general store. It will be made out of the old windows from the hotel there, the Crescent Valley House, that stood where the school is now. So once it's up it'll look like it's been there for many years. That was the goal."
