[GSBN] You (or some Natural Builder you know) Could be a TV Star!

[Chris Magwood]

Personally, I've always dreamed of inviting Jackie Chan onto one of our 
straw bale build sites and letting him loose with bale stacks, bale 
needles, bale beaters and all the other great stuff one can find on a 
bale site. Perhaps the two plot lines could be worked together...
