F or those visiting for the first time, I have a life-long passion for building and studying various forms of shelters made from natural materials and grew up in a community that celebrated independent thought, design, music and art. Most everyone I knew was either building a house, thinking about off the grid housing & land, but also - with their own hands. I'm So happy that these techinques are going from grass roots, to mainstream building, and it's about time. I've also totally infected my husband Jeff in alternative energy and hand building techniques, and we're about to re-hab a wonderful turn of the century home into an eco-friendly work of art. Along with cordwood construction, various masonry projects etc, one creation that remains as mysterious and beautiful as ever, the native american tepee. ![]() "Took myself a little trip,out there on the road. Minnesota, once Lakota riding plateaus. And I thought about the Indians out there fighting for their lives, and I thought about the pioneers. Gets awful cold out here at night...."
