A project to build a small strawbale studio for Kappy Laning's Breathwork practice. Also it will serve as lodging space for guests and a get away area for playing music. The philosophy is use recycled, donated and found materials where possible, keep it small and efficient and make it available for interested people to help and learn. We are near Bowie, MD on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. and love to have visitors.

The sub floor is finished, now we can start with the skeleton. After talking with Kappy and Sam we decided to go with a ridge beam and rafters with a drop cathedral ceiling similar to the eco house. Another idea Sam had is to mill some tulip poplar for the ridge beam and rafters rather than buy wood. Sam has a woodmizer portable sawmill and it does quite nice work. Yesterday I sawed up some spalted sycamore into one inch boards. Jenny had a good time learning to use the nail gun to secure the subfloor.
