Thanks for this continuing journey, Kyle. It gets my imagination wondering about what might be possible, though I did build a 1200 square foot house last year, much of it myself, though not the framing, plumbing or electrical work. Less than 1/3 of the internal walls are sheetrock, and only the downstairs ceilings. Lots of screwed-in plywood, good insulation and well considered windows for airflow as desired.

The embodied energy is a long term family investment.

I naturally wonder if bamboo could become a mode of construction in the Texas coastal plains.

Grass and weeds grow well here...
