Hi Janet,

Where are you located?

By the way folks, its not a bad idea to include where you are located in your signature.  If you want helping hands they are more likely to be offered if you happen to be located close to someone else on the list.  It also allows us to talk about regionally appropriate building when asking for advice or floating an idea.

  Hi,
   
  This is why I said I will share my Civil Engineered Plans if he gives me the
  rights to them. (As I said..he is doing them without charge so it will be
  his call.)
   
  I will be speaking with the school boards and church groups here to have
  parents and their children involved in the process of building my combo cob
  and earthbag house. It will be in the papers and as far as I know will be
  the first of it's kind to be permitted in our State.
   
  When everyone realizes how cheap and stable these homes are, I think it will
  revolutionize building in Oregon, at least in my section of it.
   
  This can be used by everyone else! Our Herald and News is online so you can
  all get copies of the articles.
   
  My County Officials are very excited about this after watching a straw bale
  house being built. You know, it may take some "examples" of these building
  techniques such as sheds, etc that do not require permits for your County
  Officials to create the changes in County Regulations necessary for
  permitting homes.
   
  A number of you have contacted me to let me know they would like to be here
  in the Spring to help start the Foundation and inner earthbag walls. My
  County Officials will be here frequently as that gets under way so you can
  speak with them and ask them to contact your County Officials as well.
   
  Janet
