Tell me about it. I geared up for a career in geodesic dome houses and it went ... nowhere.

The last job I had in the housing industry was as estimator for an engineered roofing truss company. Yuck. I was glad when they laid me off. The more complicated and un-aerodynamic the roof the more they can raise the price of the house (with the same floor plan).

I like cobb construction, with the clay and straw mixed. Whole bales would turn into a home for badgers or other critters.
