Many of you asked what colors were used in this wonderful new construction bungalow. The owner was kind enough to share the paint palette that was used. This photo is the rear view of the home.
Enjoy!

It always makes my day when I find cordwood in new places. Here we have cordwood in France by Zoub. This is a cordwood building combined with a wall of strawbale. The cordwood has stackwall corners and it rises all the way to the gable ends. This is courtesy of Zoub's website http://netoos.org/boiscorde/ for more information on building with cordwood with "best practices" go to www.cordwoodconstruction.org
