Gone.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">So it has gone with the BuildWell Source, the library we have been slowly raising online so that y’all could have easy access to technical and other information when you need it. About 150 people, like many of you, have used it and contributed useful stuff for everyone’s benefit, and we thank you. And we’re very sorry, it has gone Poof.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We are rebuilding that site as fast as we can, but it will take a while. (Ditto Ecological Building Network, <a href="http://bruce-king.com" class="">bruce-king.com</a> and Green Building Press.) I’ll let you know when it’s back up, and hopefully we can together build an even better resource to serve the growth and effective practice of natural building.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">A major bummer, for sure, but in the end a “first world problem” — no one is getting shot or starved or abused.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I feel very grateful to be able to work with y’all. </div><div class=""><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
