video

Looking back...

Here's the first attempt at using the camera to shoot some video. This is from August of 2007. Susan Clellen our fearless leader is in the yellow tshirt working with the great gang of volunteers who helped us frame the building.

Two Great Links

http://www.greenhomebuilding.com
this is a great source of information on all types of sustainable building

http://ilovecob.com/
this site is awesome for information and a great photo gallery of all kinds of cob projects

Ready for round three?
It was great last summer to see the walls of the Stewardship Center completed and a door on the storage area (OK a temporary door but at least it's a lockable door. ) This spring and summer we hope to add cob and stone benches, final plastering inside and out, gutters, the bottle window, the geology wall and landscaping. Very ambitious but if we get the volunteers and in-kind donations like we have before it's going to be an exciting summer. Stay tuned for volunteer sign-up info.If you just can't wait and want to get on a list for hands-on natural construction experience send me an email. zorman@shakerlakes.org
