This year's CASBA Conference will be held in Marin.  Oregonians interested in carpooling will leave from the Ashland-Jacksonville Area on Thursday morning, May 4th, and return late on Sunday May 7th.   Approximately one-hundred home-owners, architects, designers, engineers, and builders gather to share recent developments in straw building systems, codes, and finance and insurance issues related to building with straw.   Visit www.stawbuilding.org for more information, and to register.
