Holy Scrap Hot Springs - Summer 2011
What happens when two New Yorkers leave their successful careers and fabulous apartments in favor of building their own house and a new kind of life on a former trailer park in New Mexico? 5 years ago Wendy Tremayn and Mikey Sklar set off to live life in a radically different way in Truth and Consequences, New Mexico. Building their own home-compound. Growing a lot of their own food. Using alternative energy and sources for basic needs. And working from home as independent professionals and entrepreneurs. Whats more, they’ve been blogging and vlogging the process the whole way.
How did they do it? What do they say about the experience 5 years in? Whats the biggest drawback or benefit? Listen to this inspiring couple as we cover all this and more.
Part 1 in a series that focuses on the topic of making your own home, work, and life in what these days might be considered a nonconventional way.

–comments edited to what I think the angry commenter meant to say — “I don’t agree with what these two people are doing.”
Skeptical.. first of all I dont think you have anything to fear.. post under a whatever nickname you identify with and a real email address. But more importantly, if you disagree, then be constructive. No insults.
Win! I wish I could flattr individual comments, or the edits thereof
ha. youre condoning my heavy handed control of commenting! Ill work on that option!
Wendy and Mikey R O C K!
I’d love to hear why Skeptical would not approve of what Mikey and Wendy are doing. It’s great to see people finding freedom outside of a narrow idea of living.
It was mostly insults and name calling. he’s welcome to try again.
