Events

Mat will be making two hourl long presentions at SolWest in John Day Oregon. The first will be on, "Building the Super Home" and the second will be on home water quality and treatment.

23. BUILDING THE SUPER-HOME. ALL LEVELS. A Super-Home is energy efficient and resistant to fire, earthquake, and violent storms, as well as a pleasure to look at and live in. A variety of building styles and techniques (straw bale, SCIP, ICF, SIP, Cob, and Rammed Earth and more) will be contrasted and compared. Stein also covers recommended fire resistant roofing and decking materials (plus lessons learned from buildings that survived intense fires), and includes tips for upgrading existing homes to improve their fire resistance beyond simply providing a defensible space. Matthew Stein, Stein Design and WhenTechFails.com, Truckee CA. Saturday 2:00, Sale Barn.
