Subterranean homes provide one solution to finding energy efficiency
Mon, June 23, 2008

High fuel costs have leaders in the Kotzebue region looking for creative ways to make their homes highly efficient. A group from their local housing authority toured a subterranean home in Bethel recently. Homes in both communities are usually built on pilings which allow them to be re-leveled regularly. But elevated homes cost more to heat and that has residents looking for better ways to build.

Are they trying to re-word from time beginning, what my forefathers and before the other races reached us, our homes which were called SOD houses. And don’t THINK we don’t know how to build, draft, and finally maybe they will want a CONTRACT with little old me NATIVE to construct these so called “subterranean” homes.
Sod houses aren’t necessarily subterranean, native son.
