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.

Amina la carpintera
Today Amina came by to help with the roof. We worked mostly on details. We decided to go with Ondura roofing. It is a pretty locally made product, comes from Fredericksburg, VA. It is made from 50% post consumer recycled paper impregnated with asphalt. Sam has it on the house and it is holding up well. Standing seam metal roofing would have cost around $2600, commercially available metal roofing , also vertical seam would have been about half that, Ondura is about half of that or $600 dollars for a 500 sq.ft. roof.
