Six Un-trained Volunteers Framed a Complete House In 2 Hours

Six untrained volunteers built a 400 sq. ft. house in two hours for San Diego's Earth Day celebration, April 22, 2007.

The structure, one of Profile Lumber's kit houses, was put together by volunteers from Saint James Episcopal Church, La Jolla California and Habitat for Humanity as a demonstration for sustainable building using only battery powered drills.

Although organizer Chris Scott had a whole selection of tools available, "we used nothing but the drills," he said, "except in one instance where we needed a hammer to remove a bolt." (more + pictures)

Profile Lumber for Sustainable Building

Profile Lumber designs, develops and licenses leading technologies in sustainable housing construction and specially-designed, sustainable lumber. 

Its state-of-the-art solutions in sustainable building materials and construction methods are shaping a new, ecology sound vocabulary for forest, wood and building professionals. 

Sustainable Lumber Milling

I-WOOD is an innovative and sustainable lumber milling technique. It's easily implemented without the need to retrofit existing infrastructure

Milling in this way creates 30% more usable lumber from smaller logs, lumber that is stronger, lighter, warp-resistant, easier and quicker to transport and store.   

Profile Lumber and I-WOOD are part of a larger concept known as
I-kology, a blueprint for greener living.

I-kology is the study and application of renewable, sustainable living.  The principles of I-kology are spelled out in a new book by Christopher Scott, titled I-kology: Practical Ideas for a Sustainable World
