[Cob] Call out for Green Builders in Gulf Coast/South East/Texas region!?

[Thomas Choate]

Hello!

this is thomas from austin.  I am volunteering for a
couple months with  CommonGroundRelief (.org)  in New
Orleans.   
CommonGround is looking for a couple of team leaders
who would be interested in coming down and leading a
crew of locals and/or long term volunteers in
rebuilding a house that has been gutted.  
This would both be a living space and a pilot of the
potential of green building for future houses, as well
as teaching locals and/or long time  volunteers.   
Especially important would be green electrical and
plumbing issues.  Also to be worked on would be
kitchen and bathroom.     The house is basically
a shell,  with fine outer walls,  (roof unsure!?) 

I was thinking that for redoing the interior walls
that natural (light clay-straw) techniques and
plasters would be super useful---  despite the
potential for future flooding-- which would ruin
everything anyway-- and it atleast wouldn't be toxic. 
 

Common Ground could definitely pay the way and the
room and board of the leaders in this project-  but
probably could not pay above that.   Building/work
would begin after April 9th,  as soon as possible-  
but the dates/length are  not yet firm. 

thank you so much!  

please contact me with any leads or questions!!

peace and passion,
thomas
