We used building
materials that are long-lasting, more easily recyclable
and more quickly bio-degradable |
The
roof of the house has bio-degradable cedar shingles to resemble
a thatched roof to gain a more natural, woods look. The exterior of the house is
built of recycled limestone from a razed barn.

This unusable barn was
torn down and the limestone was used to build our house |
The
new barn (shown below) was built using post and beam construction held
together with wooden pegs. This type of construction was
used 100 or more years ago for strength and durability. The
roof is steel, so the entire barn is bio-degradable
or recyclable.
