Jeannie Visitor Jan 09, 2007 - 15:35    Hello. I've just begun planning the construction of a straw bale home and am intersted in any insights anyone has to share about all aspects of the process. I'm in Iowa and will be building on a slightly sloping, northeast facing lot with timber behind the house, a small lake in front. Thanks!

Heather Visitor Dec 03, 2008 - 18:23    I have a question for anybody to weigh in on. I live in Sacramento CA and currently there is NOT a network of natural builders. There's one person I know of working with Cob, there are 2 strawbale homes in the 5 surrounding counties, and a few faux finishers who've tentatively branched into earthen paint and plaster. My haunch is that this will grow but it needs water. I want to pioneer a Sacramento/central valley natural building network with a few goals in mind. To form a cooperative of builders/artisans who are committed to building naturally, To start a school/class where the skills can be shared with a new generation and with eachother. To work with structural engineers to give these building methods credibility with inspectors. And to educate the public of the safety, beauty, and durability, of a well built natural home. This is alot to do and I have never ever tried such a thing before. Any advice from people who've successfully created a movement in their community?
