Most of my resources for this project were local townspeople, my parents, friends, the local hardware store, and teachers.

My Permaculture Design Course (Andrew Faust, Lisa DePiano, Chris Jackson, Mark Krawcyk) helped shape my aim and provided direction for the projects. Several Permaculture books were also of great assisstance:

Gaia's Garden --Toby Hemenway

Create an Oasis with Greywater --Art Ludwig

The Natural House Book --David Pearson

The Permaculture Handbook --Peter Bane

 

Several websites inspired the design and projects as well, including:

http://www.espritcabane.com/  --For natural paints

http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/  --For insulation, windows, doors, and general building science

http://www.yankeemagazine.com/article/home-3/flooring  --For paper bag flooring

Youtube.com  --For instructional videos on tiling, plumbing, and electrical wiring

 

Several albums from various artists also helped me when the goings were tough:

The Mamaku Project

Led Zeppelin

John Prine

Bob Marley

Taj Mahal

Mason Jennings

Tune Yards

Grizzly Bear
