A Resource For Building A Sustainable Abode.

There is a rag out called "Countryside & Small Stock Journal" Many worn copies can be found in the homes of the modern homesteader. Perhaps it will return back to the magazine shelves now that people are once again interested in doing things are their own. <a href="http://www.allbusiness.com/countryside-small-stock-journal/20000101/3043146-1.html">http://www.allbusiness.com/countryside-small-stock-journal/20000101/3043146-1.html</a><br />

Unfortunatly this magazine is more for "hands on" information, then a decorative book to show that the owner is in tume with nature.<p>---<br>Expect little from life and get more from it.

Diogenes,

Thanks for that site too. I find earth homes so delightful and most appealing to
my asthetic preference.

Our biggest obsticle may be our winters? More research to do and dealing with
our regional district offices has proven difficult when most employed there don't
have a clue about alternative architectures nor the interest to learn and
document it for those of us interested in building earth homes in my region.
Now, to find a compatible engineer!

the winters in canada might require some inovation in the design<br />

or one might want to mix waste styrofoam into the building material.<br />

I love Nader Khalili's work <br />
I once visited Arcosanti <a href="http://www.arcosanti.org/">http://www.arcosanti.org/</a>#<br />
and to beinside of freeform buildings gives one an experience un paralelled <br />
