[papercreters] Shane,,,,,Conferences / Get-togethers/Collectives Do we have any?




.Mike Ohlers or a spelling close that has a book on Underground houses, and includes an underground greenhouse.  Google Underground Houses, he sells it in Mother Earth News I believe.  He may based out of Washington state.

It may may be called the Uphill greenhouse.  He even researched rabbits in the green house for more production.

Hi all,

I've been a busy bee for the last several months though you wouldn't know by the number of posts I put up on the Forum.

I have been transitioning from Haiti to Canada, back to help my Dad on his patch of sand that he calls a farm. It's in the North Thompson Valley, North of Kamloops, British Columbia.

I used to be involved in this thing called I.T.C.A. (International Thin Shell Construction Association)that we held in Oregon. It was a great way for international builders to get together for a few days and share/swap ideas and build on current methods.

My Dad and I are looking at wrestling with the idea of a cold weather greenhouse that is a hybrid between an Earthship, Masonry heater acting in a water boiler that sends heated water through the floor of the greenhouse. It's built into a side hill (sand)and double is facing south with double pained glass.

It would be great to start a project like this and share the outcome with a group of professionals.

Do we have any conferences in the third week of September 2013? Do you think that a symposium of this sort would attract builders. We could have some great speakers, good venue to host, beautiful countryside, and... Beer. Good Canadian Beer.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Shane Mattenley
Vavenby, BC
