Earthwood Building School is a small
"mom and pop" business run by Rob and Jaki Roy. Rob, active in the
alternative building field for 28 years, is the author of fifteen
owner-building books and has conducted hundreds of workshops
at Earthwood and throughout the United States. Together, Rob and
Jaki have built Log End Cottage, Log
End Cave,
Earthwood, Mushwood and several other cordwood buildings. Jaki instructs at
the hands-on sessions and keeps the school running smoothly from behind the
scenes.
Through its course offerings, books, videos (and DVD), building plans and
conferences, Earthwood strives to promote an integrated approach to home
design, emphasizing energy efficiency, self-sufficiency and responsible
stewardship of natural resources.
