Hi folks. Paul from Binghamton here. I know of someone in East Meredith
(near Oneonta) who is building a straw bale house on speculation and he's
attached an addition made out of cob. He literally used a tractor to mix
the clay, soil, etc. in the driveway. The house is beautiful. If you'd like
more info. send me a message!
I'm enjoying the list dialogue and will likely become more active in the
near future as I am beginning the design phase of a sustainable home
project to be started next spring. I'm leaning toward straw bale w/solar
(passive and active).
Thanks for keeping this going!
