[Cob] scavenging

[Lisa Winter]

wow.  thanks for the information.  that was one of the
next things that i was going to ask the group was how
they had found sources for reclaimed and salvaged
materials.  since we're hoping to start collecting
materials for building this summer.  does anyone else
have suggestions on how to find salvaged materials.
