Learning how to build a house at Yestermorrow

We don't have any experience in building a house, but that's exactly what we want to do. So time to learn some skills! Diana took an 8-week course at Yestermorrow Design Build School called Certificate in Residential Design and Construction. We built two small structures and I started designing our mechanical building and the house.
