We drive a car that runs on used vegetable oil and we built a straw bale house... we thought this might be a fun way to document our adventures and maybe, in turn, help others who decide to give it a go as well. Note: If you are interested in reading about the building of our straw bale house check out the blog archive (on the right side a little ways down) from 2008- when we began our research and 2009- when we actually constructed the house.

Log Porch Columns
14"x10' logs $50 a piece. Sounds like a deal until you
realize that you have to make them pretty yourself.
Yea for Richard's help!
Russ routing out the bottom of columns to countersink
the metal plates- so they are safely attached to the
foundation and sit flush with slab.
A LOT of sanding later and we have 3 beautiful
natural porch columns on each side of our house!
