Lily B asked:
Within the next year my husband and I will be building a small home and we are considering incorporating as much energy saving and eco friendly materials and techniques as possible, but I’m having trouble sorting out all of the information I’m finding online. We are working with an extremely small budget, and we would like to do as much building on our own as possible with the help of our family.
Can anybody give me a basic rundown on different building techniques that are 1) as cheap as possible while if possible also are 2)energy saving and 3)environmentally friendly.
My first interest is figuring out a good foundation material/way of building and then framing but I’d be very grateful for any other information! Thank you!
