[Greenbuilding] Light Clay Walls

[Michael O'Brien]

Hi, John--

Yes, the building smells like a mix of cedar and earth, it's a very nice fragrance.

I read an article that said soil bacteria cause human brains to release endorphins, which helps explain happy gardeners. I wondered if the same was true of the cedar-clay mix, too, as we all were in a good humor while working on it.

Best,

Mike
