<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this workshop we will begin with a discussion of the basic elements of building with earth. This will cover aspects of soil composition, suitability for construction, and methods for testing. Next, we will go through the steps of design and construction of our project, culminating in hands-on work as we mix local mud and actually construct the earthen oven.</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">This is an introductory class to help you get ready to keep chickens in your backyard. We will be building a simple light weight <i>predator proo</i>f chicken tractor that will fit in even a small urban backyard. We will go over early care of chicks, feeders, waterers and learning how to allow the chickens to free range safely. Class participants will leave with plans for the tractor we will build during the workshop.<br />

We look forward to learning more about that office and sharing what they are up to, more to come. I really encourage all you out there in the north east to consider making a simple batch heater for a outdoor shower, not only do you get hot water from the sun you have the pleasure of showering outside. We will offer this class again next spring.</span></span><br />

The processes of thermosyphon and heat exchange will be explained, with emphasis on simple and basic technologies that can be applied by the homeowner. We will look at an operational on-site hot water installation that was built from ordinary materials, some of them salvage. Finally, we will apply some of the concepts we have covered, working on a simple water heater constructed from a salvage tank.

We will be placing gringo blocks and rough bucks as well as lintels over door and window openings. Time permitting, we will begin to install the bond beam at the top of the adobe walls. In any event, we will discuss materials for this and methods of forming(for concrete bond beams) and placement and anchoring for wooden bond beams.</span></span></div><div style="font: 10.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 12.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
