This is a site plan of the earthship. The block on the upper right, however, is the part we had planned for the summer of 2011 and has not been built yet. I wanted to point out the very different sun paths at this high latitude. Sunrise and sunset occur in very different places at different times of the year. On the recent solstice the noon sun was only about 35 degrees above the trees to our south. In the summer the sun hits the north face of the farmhouse both morning and evening, but not during the bulk of the day.
