Long time best buddy and fellow designer, Dan Sjogren, is doing it - building a house in Crestone, CO (approx. 3 hrs. south of Denver). He’s using Faswall blocks (85% mineral wool/15% cement) for the wall system, PV to run power tools and eventually the house PLUS lots of hands on help from his nearby and close friend Macon. The lovely Jenny Thomas, the bread to his butter, is running loads of support from Denver and elsewhere.
Also, with a little encouragement ;) and a snowy Spring day, he managed to put together this blog documenting his project. Check it out.
Dan, we love you, Happy Birthday and we can’t wait to drink a coffee with you in/on or around your sweet house.
