philosophy Gennaro. The earthen floor photo<BR>essay was interesting, as I
am planning on putting in an earthen floor in<BR>the kitchen of a home I am
renovating this coming summer.<BR><BR>I wanted to ask for further examples of
how you plan on counteracting the<BR>need for new building materials when you do
your work as you say one of your<BR>goals is zero new materials.<BR><BR>How for
instance would you insulate an attic? Or fulfill modern codes<BR>relating
to foundation work or electrical work? Or is the zero new<BR>materials
idea more of an ideal than a reality?<BR><BR>~ Frank Cetera<BR><A
