I googled the Dakota Burl because it looked so neat… even though we are years from buying a house. The info from the manufacturer says that it would not be good for kitchen or bathroom counters, although you have it in your kitchen. I will be very interested to see how it holds up. I hope the manufacturer is just being overly cautious!

Good luck on your tour! I am so inspired by your family. When you visit the Twin Cities, I am a chef at a top-notch independent coffee shop… we’d love to have y’all stop by.

I’ll be keeping up on your tour via the site and hope to hear more from you on MDC. Good luck and Godspeed.

I think what you guys are doing is great, so glad people are getting more on board with being kind to the earth God has provided for us. I’ve been following your blog for a while now, I think I’ve only commented once on your Walk Slowly. I have been encouraged and inspired to be more aware of our consumerism, etc. However, my husband and I have been wondering where God is in this journey of traveling and learning to live more sustainably…..
We will continue to keep up with your travels but hope to hear about what the Lord is teaching you in it.

I never cease to be amazed at what you two can do with small spaces! I’m sure organization and decoration are key to living in small places. You do such a great job at it!

Your RV looks awesome!! I absolutely love what you are doing with the RV and your lifestyle, very inspirational. I have made some smaller scale lifestyle changes here in our home, but it makes me feel good when I make choices that are good for our environment and our health. Keep up the good work!

I would love to see these up close. They look so neat! We will definitely keep these in mind when we move if we need to do some renovations (which is kind of a no brainer with the budget we’re dealing with!)

Very nice BUT it would have been better for the environment to leave the original countertop and table as they were! There’s a dangerous trend in America…buying MORE just to be ‘green’.

Remember the total embodied energy of an object = resource extraction, manufacture, packaging, transportation, storage, utilities for its use, repair/maintenance, and finally disposal. Better to use what you’ve got!

Oh, and my husband wants to know how porous it is. Does it stain easily?

Wow! So very cool! As a counter top, do you have to be very careful about scratches or does it hold up well for that? How about water spills and such?

I’d love a new counter top… It would be nice to have something made from renewables.
