[Strawbale] Kinark / Fleming (was: Strawbale Digest, Vol 11, Issue 4)

[Ashleigh Uiska]

Mark,

Best part was seeing all these people from different walks
come together (work, live, eat, sleep) and build an incredible building.
Granted, because there was freedom for each team to implement systems of their
own choice, there is a bit of inconsistencies between relating systems and the building as a whole.  Chris has changed the program slightly to avoid this issue for this upcoming summer.On the whole, a job well done, within the budget, and delivered (almost
complete (minor finishing)) on time.  An excellent experience for building professionals and DIY's alike.  An amazing social experiment too (I think that is
what Chris Magwood likes the most)!
