Earthen Floor Workshop

Sat, 08 Mar 2008 05:41:25 GMT

Our fist workshop has finally been given a date and time!
Install an “Earthen” floor
Monday, April 21st
2-6pm (you may come and go as you please)

Earthen floors are becoming a very popular flooring alternative. They have wonderful thermal mass (heat storage), very low embodied energy, and are quite beautiful. Come work with designer/builder/philosopher Mark Morgan(Bear Paw Construction and design) and Ramy Selim (owner/operator of Sunny Day). We are asking for a $5 donation for this workshop to cover costs.

Gearing up for spring

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 06:02:16 GMT

Nature's biggest tease is on its way, so while spring approaches with cold feet let me warm you all with news of what's going on at Sunny Day.

First off, we have a bunch of new products:
The NatureMill indoor composter, which speeds up the decomposition of food waste without stink, and also cures the new dirt so it's ready to go in as little as two weeks. We actually have one running in the store if anyone wants to stop by and check it out.

A line of animal supplies made from recycled plastic bottles. There is a selection of pet beds, as well as dog and cat toys. They are all curiously soft and the beds show how many bottles it took to make them, pretty sweet.

Finally, we're starting to get a bunch of new LED's in for all the lighting fans out there.

Moving on, although we don't have actual dates set up yet, here is the list of new workshops for the next couple months:
Reducing Your Carbon Footprint: As always this one is FREE
Make Your Own Paints!: Great for all ages
Installing an Earthen Floor: Taught by Mark Morgan of Bear Claw Design and Construction

Let me know if you have any questions about, well anything.

Radio and Workshop

Hi, in case anyone is interested, we are holding a workshop at our store, Sunny Day Earth Solutions at 26th and Como. It's entitled "Is Solar for Me?" and the class is mostly a seminar on the reality of solar usage. For example, the cost of all the materials, what your house will look like, the feasibility of the entire project. After, it will be more a Q&A where Ramy Selim, the owner/certified assessor will be able to answer most, if not all of your questions. It costs $20, starts at 3pm and is expected to run anywhere from 2 to 4 hours.

Also

In case anyone is interested, we will also be featured on KFAI radio Sunday, March 2nd from 6 to 7pm. "Reduce Your Carbon Footprint" will also be able to be streamed for up to two weeks after the show on www.kfai.org - click on The Wave Project, past shows, then find our and click "stream". Thanks.
