Looking forward to opportunities as a work-exchanger with you when I return from California. I live on the Washington coast and am looking forward to building my retirement home and helping other do the same. Looking to introducing these concepts to our community too.

In exchange our base home would be built and everyone is happy in the end... There is a local school Bellingham Folk School that teaches all sorts of alternative/natural topics and would like to bring this idea through them. Any thoughts on getting a venture like this in the next 2 years?

(you can check out our blog about it at http://www.muddyhands.typepad.com). This year will be our 2nd full season with the earth work. We'll be hosting another natural building workshop with Michael G. Smith in late June too (not yet posted, details to come). We hosted ~30 worktraders last year from March-November and are looking forward to doing it again this year. We welcome anyone who wants to come and help us build our house. We're working on the house now through the end of the year though the earth work will start in May through September. We'll be doing a layer of the earthen floor early in the season, start more wall building in June, and keep going with that and plastering as long as we can. We also have 2 young kids, a small kitchen garden, small apple orchard, kitty, and are getting ducks this spring. If you are interested, contact me and we can talk more: kristenregina@gmail.com. Best, Kristen Hey Spiros,
