ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE
Description
Welcome to organic architecture-natural building and retrofitting.

sawdust, reeds,  stone, sawdust/concrete, straw, cordwood, earthbags,
tire walls, straw bales, poles, bamboo, thatch, turf,  and the
recycling of materials like cardboard, rail road ties, used power

home and large building construction. Mainly a  forum for
owner-builders worldwide to exchange ideas, techniques, inspiration
and support.

CHEAP SHELTERS
Description This list is about alternate construction styles like log,
straw bale, earth, rock, old tires, tents or many  "found" materials.
If you are a construction purist you won't like this list. I hope we
can cover things on  this list like they used to in the "Mother Earth
News" of many many years ago. It should relate to houses,  barns, root
cellars and other structures with leanings toward homesteading.
