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.

Middle section roof and clerestory windows
I found some nice windows at the Rebuild Warehouse in northern Virginia , just south of DC. They were sets of three, 16" wide by 48" tall and easily separated. I also found a screen door , some nice 2x6s and I forget what else. I had also gone to the Habitat for Humanity Restore and found a very nice set of french doors, the kind with real mullions.
.We are blessed with many fine stores selling recovered building materials here in the greater DC area. So now I am sifting through all the lumber laying around from the Ecohouse move and some obsessive sawmilling a long time ago. Its either dig it out or the poison ivy takes over the stacks. It feels real good not to go to Homey's.
