I just got back from an extended builder’s training learning the fine details of the Econest building system. Robert and Paula Baker Laporte have been pioneering this technique of straw/clay ( or “slip-straw”) building for nearly 2 decades. It’s been used extensively in Germany for much longer and is sure to be a growing trend in the US as the availability of highly processed materials trucked in from great distances loses popularity. I hope to build many Econests here in New Hampshire over the years to come… Look for future postings with workshops and econest trainings to follow
Good stuff Mr. Felice. All the best in your future nesting ventures.
