Natural Building Blog Pics at Pinterest
Pinterest is an online pinboard or bulletin board where people post their favorite images. It’s extremely popular and a great source of ideas on home design, interior design, furniture, building with recycled materials and many other topics. At one time I considered joining and making a page of my favorite design pics, but dozens of images from our blog have been repinned or reposted at Pinterest over 1,000 times, and now there’s even a separate page with pics from our blog. So basically I got my wish without doing any additional work!

April Magill Interview: Architect Willing to Stamp Natural Building Plans
April Magill, a licensed architect in South Carolina, is willing to stamp construction plans for natural buildings as well as for conventional buildings. I believe April is the first architect to offer this service – to stamp plans for multiple types of natural buildings, not just one or two types. Imagine the changes that would happen if someone did this for each state. This one act of courage and love by April Magill could usher in profound changes very quickly. With this realization, I immediately wrote her and asked for an interview.
