Straw bale volunteer in Kelso, Scotland 8th September

Post: # 70043Post naturalhomes »

Hello everyone,

I've just been asked to post a request for volunteers for a 600 bale infill job in Scotland near Kelso. Here are the details from http://www.naturalhomes.org

Read about The First Little Pig on Damon's blog and join Damon for the weekend beginning the 8th of September for two days (or more) of infill with 600 straw bales. A great opportunity to get some hands-on experience. Contact Damon on +44 (0)1573 440761 or +44 (0)7771 524474 or by email to damon.rodwell@gmail.com.

You can see the box beam structure that is to be infilled on the natural homes map here http://naturalhomes.org/homesmap.htm. Select "Scotland, Roxburghshire, Kelso" from the drop down list at the bottom of the map.

Regards, Oliver
