RE: Tucson AZ SB house

["Jeffrey LaNuez" <jlanuez@azstarnet.com>]

Andreas,

There are some really great SB houses in Tucson.  Did you do the "Innovative
Home Tour" this past year?  If not, they can be reached at (520) 881-4772 or
hometour@solarinstitute.org.  They provided directions and descriptions to
20+ homes to see in Tucson.  The following two homes were on the tour and
are in the area you just were...

1 - A house that I know of near that area is absolutely my favorite is at
6510, on the same street.  So, if you were "driving around" up there maybe
you saw this one too.  It has a beautiful Post & Beam SB main house, a load
bearing SB guest house (really another small full house), SB pump house and
a large SB workshop and nice grounds.  They also have solar panels providing
much of their electric and a nice filtered water catchment system too.

2- Another house in this area is a very large Post & Beam SB house at 5655
Sweetwater Drive.  It sits way up on a hill with a very long steep driveway.
You may have seen it because you must past this house to get to the one
above).

Not sure what you saw up the road with a steel frame though???

During lunch today I was driving around the Gorgeous Saguaro studded Tucson
Mountains and saw a house (~6000 W. Banded Gecko)
that was being built that I thought was awesome. It was a hybrid Steel
structure infilled with Straw Bales.
I wonder if the owner of the house is on the list, i sure would love to read
about their experience.
Sorry for wasting everybody else's BW...
Andreas
