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.

Flooring and a Wood Stove
Kappy and I went to a local quarry Tri-State Stone where they also sell Vermont slate flooring single sizes and patterns. We found a nice mixed color pattern that comes in 10sq.ft. boxes. We needed 18 boxes and that is exactly how much they had of this style. Good luck I'd say. Today I installed the flue for the Jotul woodstove and made the first fire.

Spring 2011
We are beginning the final phase of construction. Things left to do are: slate floor in the middle space, pine floor in the ecohouse, living roof over the bathroom and some plaster details. The buildings weathered the DC winter with no problems and has served Kappy's breathwork practice quite well.
