"There isn't much to be learned from this article, only another "green" couple spending way too much money per sq. ft. and using information on PC that has been written about for many years and implying that it is all new "
Donald Miller..I agree.....The only advantage is that awareness is spread about this material for people to consider seriously.
I agree the cost is prohibitive..I ran into so many people in the straw bale building world from 1999-2006 who built $400K SB houses..all of them wanting to be green, and "showing" others how to live..an oxymoronic goal as far as I could see..most people didnt have that money to spend on a 3500 sq ft SB monsterhouse full of art pieces ..but the magazines didn't make money showing little huts of SB either..who would advertise their fancy green products to known frugal types??
same thing here, no one will be buying drywall, or $400 sink taps I think for t heir PC home, ..but the GOOD is that it opens people's awareness and as Ben Franklin said" it takes 12 times of exposure about a product or service for people to say" oh..this might be for me, I better look in to it" (paraphrased)
the clever frugal types will catch on and learn more on their own.
