"The Hand Sculpted House"
-
With another school year over, and a long summer stretching delightfully ahead, I've started to read a book I've had sitting on my 'book pile' for a while.
The book is The Hand Sculpted House, A Practical and Philosophical Guide to Building a Cob Cottage ... by Ianto Evans, Michael G. Smith and Linda Smiley.
I'm intrigued by the book's premise that it is possible to very inexpensively build a small cottage out of natural materials found on most plots of land. I'd love to have a discussion with others who have read the book or even just perused the authors' website.
Clearly, after yet another school year of dealing with high-technology, I'm yearning for a little closer encounter with nature and lower-tech approaches to life.
