Hi Guys,
I am so excited to find other Virginians interested in alternative building methods and hope together we can get some workshops together so we can all learn how to build with cob. All the workshops I have found are out of state and I didn't know if it was because Virginia is so conservative and building codes wouldn't allow it, or if nobody was interested, but I found you guys. I will be following this discussion and hope we can come up with something. My landlord owns a solar power business here in Ashland and he also used to build dome houses before that. I have learned so much from him about passive solar and he is trying to start a community of like minded individuals.
