The house my friend Barry ("Bear") has been building over the past year is now finished. He used an alternative construction process called Econest, which includes clay, straw and timber framing. Whenever he was able, he used salvaged wood and natural materials in building as "green" as possible. Stucco was applied on the exterior and the floors are made of poured concrete over a radiant heating piping system. Solar panels provide electricity and heat the water. Needless to say, Barry is happy it's done and totally stoked with the results of his hard work.
