New Pioneer Magazine published a four-page article about building Cordwood Cottages. The editor allowed me to place the article on various social media sites to encourage the idea of natural building. The article details the best practice building of cordwood cottages, cabins, classrooms & homes.
The second page talks about how we built our mortgage-free cordwood home.
The next page details the advantages of being mortgage-free.
The last page shows a cordwood sauna and a cordwood garden shed built after attending one of our two-day cordwood workshops.
