hello fellow neighbor,


would you be open to showing your home in progress, I would be interested in checking out the home and maybe having something similar from the manufacturer for a lot in orchidland.

best,

There is a ton on information on the website, but here is one bit regarding termites:
RESISTANCE TO TERMITES
Laboratory
Univ. of Hawaii at Manoa, Dept. Plant & Environmental Protection Sciences
Report Title
Resistance of two bamboo species treated with borates to Formosan Subterranean Termites (Coptotermes formosanus) in a No-Choice Test
Report# date
October 7, 2003
Conclusion
Termite mortality was 100% in all treatments. Results indicate that Bamboo Technologies’ method of borate pressure treating bamboo poles incurs high termite mortality and prevents all but minor superficial damage to bamboo.

When we actually get the construction of the main house underway, we'd be happy to share the progress. So far, the foundation work is finished and the first building (the shop) has arrived and is under construction. We are hoping it will be finished by month's end. We are currently still in N. Calif, but try to get over every-other month. Will be back on 6/6 to check the progress.

Where are you in Northern Calif are you from (the city?)....I'm currently in West Sonoma County area in guerneville.
