“Hello everyone!
“For anyone looking for an affordable earthbag workshop to attend, United Earth Builders is holding a four-day workshop June 2nd- 5th, 2014. $450. We’ll be working on a small in-progress dome-vault combination structure, with the goal of completing it. Please see flyer for details and email us with questions or to register: unitedearthbuilders@gmail.com
We’ve featured several Tiny Texas Houses projects here on our blog. Some readers may be interested in building their own recycled homes and so I thought we’d take a look at their educational materials. Here is the product description of the 4 DVD instructional set from Tiny Texas Houses.
“The Natural Building School was founded in 2008 and has been hosting a variety of popular courses on Natural Building, Permaculture, and Appropriate Technologies. Return to the Forest strives to educate the world on sustainable building practices to complement the global movement in ecological living.
“Do your heating bills drive you crazy in the winter? Are you and your family sweltering inside your home in the summer? Do you want to improve the look of your home? Do you need new electrical outlets in your house, but can’t afford it? What if there was a ‘green’ and affordable way to solve all of this? We think there is. It’s called a ‘straw bale retrofit’, and we think you’ll love it.
