Project Abstract

We are building a 16X12 foot strawbale recreational building  overlooking our goldfish pond, here in Shiawassee County Michigan. We hope to have it built by late summer 2009 (refer to my schedule).  Our goal of this site is to share  pictures of our progress,  provide useful hints, share ideas, and inspire others to participate in natural building projects. Want to learn? Come on out!

It is May 1st, 2009 and the mud hut is approximately half way finished. I will be making a list of things that still need to be done, and if anyone wants to participate in a workshop, email me.... In the meantime, you can view how we began this project, and the work involved on the pages below.
