	#Build ~~post-and-beam~~ covered space with metal roofing as in the workshop addition ($2/sq ft)- [http://blog.opensourceecology.org/2011/04/workshop-addition/]. This allows us immediate covered space, which can be retrofitted with CEB walls if designed for that. This would allow for bricks to be covered, and would be a case in point for implementing [[Modular CEB Construction]]		#Build covered space with metal roofing as in the workshop addition ($2/sq ft)- [http://blog.opensourceecology.org/2011/04/workshop-addition/].
