How I became a "builder"

Building is something I do not know much about, but I became a builder overnight. Volunteering can open you doors which you even couldn't imagine.

Pictured is not your average house, but a very environmental friendly and organic house. This is not very hard to build, as it is mostly stitching with a half meter long needle, which we all could manage with. But that's is not all, do not let be fooled. The cheeks which are around the house, are very crucial, as they have to prevent water falling into the base. That work needs lots of time and precision.

Straw-bale houses are not common in Estonia, we have some tradition of building mud huts, like they do in Africa, but this is not a very popular way. My dream is to build a mud-straw-bale house for myself.
