The "white paint" would be an white elastomeric coating. They use it on mobile home roofs (I known, I live in one). You can by that stuff anywhere. Not to expensive, and it's made for roofs.
EarthShip. Man was I totally into that for about a year. I read all of the books and loved the concept, but good luck getting it past p&z. (not to mention a LOT of work) However, despite not going for the earthship in the end, most of the concepts that are contained in the books can be modified and applied to your current situation. I have done this with my mobile home and as a result, I have an all electric mobile home that had a monthly power bill of no more that 40 dollars a month, even in winter. Another suggested read would be Morgage Free by Rob Roy. It is inspitational/informative and lead me down the path I am on now. (owning my own home +2 aces free and clear before i turn 30) Check it out.
