John, try using search engines, there is a lot of free info on the web, and
many web sites and digests of already discussed emails in files..just
waiting to be opened..takes time of course. go to my LINKS page shown at
the top of any of my regular web pages...and view some great online
resources...many on building techniqes.  and the listing for Sustainable
resource book is shown..that is an entire free book online..tons if info
thanks to the folks in Texas.

And as for cold weather building...most historical structures techniques
like cob and wood/clay were built in cold northern Scotland, England,
Germany, etc..where winters are severe.
