Building With Stone

Throughout the history of the human species, we have been building with stone. The first stone homes were not much more than piles of rubble. Today, stone buildings can be huge and grand and complex or small and comfortable and simple.

Stone buildings and houses may be the perfect construct for modern attempts at sustainable living and farming. The reasons for this include:

1. Availability of Building Materials.
2. Sturdiness and Durability.
3. Longevity.
4. Ease of Construction.
5. Low Construction and Maintenance Costs.
6. Potential for High Energy Efficiency.
7. And Many More!

For the next seven days I will cover each of these reasons why you should consider building with stone. Hopefully you will consider constructing your next building with stone.
