We left the August 2010 conference convinced that what we wanted to do was to build some type of model structure that made use of sustainable forms of construction. We were, however, not initially sure what that structure might be. We talked over a variety of possibilities in monthly conference calls--a straw bale wrap around an existing trailer, a straw bale improvement to an existing church building, a shed that could be used to house tools and supplies for a small garden, a small model house, etc--before deciding on a plan that would dovetail with a local micro-finance idea.
Members of the Two Bulls family, who are active at Christ Church, Red Shirt Table, were hoping to build a small structure that could be used to sell coffee and handmade goods to tourists who pass along Route 40 (BIA highway 41).
We agreed to pool our efforts, planning for a staw bale structure that could be used as a cofffee and gift shop.
