Can't you see a couple of goats up there?

The thing I really miss about our past life in Maine was renovating our 1850 Farmhouse. I hadn't really thought much about houses and building since moving to Georgia. But that ended yesterday. I attended the opening of the new Southface Eco Office Building. Call me a gear queer but the garden on the roof that also serves as a rainwater catchment for all the buildings gray water got me wanting to buy a little piece of land and get building again.

Can't you see a sod roof and a couple of goats up there? And a homemade chevre with a crisp rose´?

*Those pavers in the garden above were recycled from that spongy surface you see especially in urban playgrounds. Nicely repurposed, I'd say.
