Of course you are, but the building methods have proven sound and workable. It will require a change in lifestyle, however.
Passive solar, and thermal mass, mitigate extreme swings in temperature, but it still swings, unlike the thermostat on the wall system. So you'll need a stove/fireplace to take care of one end, and you won't have AC on the other. Rainwater and greywater systems have to be monitored and maintained. Even more so for photovoltic/wind electrical systems. Especially when the grandchildren visit. It's definitely doable, but it takes dedication and work.
