I have plans for about a hundred or so feet but been wondering what to do with the rest. I'll be interested to see how this thread progresses cause I too am looking for some ideas and construction methods. Some of the links you provided were helpful if not daydream inducing (bamboo homes link, for example--I wanna live in a Thai Pod!) Sorry-I know this is not helpful info for you, but I'll be checking back.
