local sustainable bldg materials and methods?

[Rob Tucker]

My home's structural walls are made using a product called Rastra which I distributed for a number of years. There are other things I incorporated as well. For example I have long been using a structural fiber cement panel as a substitute of plywood. It is termite proof, water proof and fire proof (and tile ready). Some of my decking is made with a wood substitute that is 100% a composite of recycled material... automobile tires and HDPE plastic. It is as close to indestructible as any material as I have seen. Looks nice and is soft on bare feet.
