DO IT AGAIN IN 2010

After a year of having so much fun trying to redefine in 09, Roby and I have decided to do it again in 10. This time we are hanging out at the Solarliving Institute in Hopland California. Follow along on our adventure.

West Coast Green

September 2010


As if we had not killed ourselves enough preparing for Solfest, (see Tiny House Blog for event description) the masochists that we are, we volunteered ourselves to help Massey and the "Super Natural Builders" install an exhibit at the West Coast Green Event in San Francisco. This meant after working for 12 hours for 8 days straight we would wake up the next morning bright and early and drive 2 hours to then engage in physical labor for another two days of 12 hours. Oh yeah it was fun!

We helped put together an exhibit demonstrating all the different facets of natural building-bamboo, cobb walls, natural plaster finishes, green roof, and an edible urban garden. Several thousand architects and professional green builders were going to see our work.

Roby and I stayed at my sister Ami's house and I think we scared her when we showed up the first night with mud from head to toe. She walked me right to the shower. Which I do have to say is a sweet shower!

10 days of non-stop work finally came to an end so we decided to relax with a 14 hour drive down to Phoenix!
