Cob: Small houses / dense living (fwd)

[Shannon C. Dealy]

  Hello all,
  Two announcements:

  1.  Nygel Valdez, Jay Shafer, and I gave a presentation on small houses
and the joy of dense living  to a group in Iowa
  City, Iowa, a few weeks ago.  A few days later, the Small House Society
was created by the three of us plus a few
  people who attended that talk. Headquartered in Iowa City, the group plans
to serve as a wide network of small home
  dwellers, builders and designers, and generaly to be "Advocates for Less."
  A website now exists (go to
  www.smallhousesociety.org).  Contact Gregory, the webmaster if you have
submissions.  Instructions for joining the
  Society are on the website.


  2. Rebecca Hughs-Hartogs, a resident of Grass Valley, California, and
small house dweller, has organized a weekend
  conference in Grass Valley to discuss the legalization and promotion of
very small houses. Over 100 people are expected,
  including code and zoning officials, local cob builders, and advocates for
the house-less. The conference costs $10 plus
  lodging.  Call 530-273-8690 for more details.

  Blessings,

  Shay Salomon

  P.S. Please forgive double postings and let me know if you don't want to
receive these announcements about small
  houses/dense housing issues.
