|
If you are building a new home or adding to an existing one, using natural building methods makes a big difference. Natural building materials lower the cost of construction, and, as you might guess, because the materials are natural, they are non-toxic and sustainable. One of the keys of natural building methods is to build a home that is appropriate for your geographical area -- a hot, humid climate has much different needs than a dry, cold climate. |
