How 2 Build Green: The Sustainability Podcast

Adam Fries of How 2 Build Green (that’s me!) presents How to be Your Own Contractor: Sustainably as a webinar that has been converted into a podcast. About halfway through the podcast/converted webinar, I take questions from attendees - Q&A. If your interested in potentially being your own contractor of your new home or remodel, this is for you. Adam has been a contractor and designer of sustainable and natural homes in Durango, CO for 12+ years.
