[GSBN] FW: Bale homes and LEED certification

[John Swearingen]

Hi Joyce,

That was designed by  Lucchesi and Galati Architects, primarily Jeff
Roberts.  Rick Green was the bale builder, and did rammed earth, also.  We
bid on it, but ultimately turned it down.  It looked like a nice project,
though.
