Community Building: Overview

Planning out the building, raising funds and doing the actual construction has been a learning experience for us. Coming to consensus on these and other issues about the community building was extremely challenging. Members, residents, work exchangers and visitors used their skills (or acquired them) throughout the process. Our community building, or "Common House", as we often call it, was designed and built to be eco-friendly. We had to balance cost, time and eco-friendliness, which wasn't always easy, and come to peace with some compromises, of course always in accordance with our covenants.
