In this episode of Mother Earth News and Friends, Chris McClellan (aka Uncle Mud) discusses how to build a home out of natural materials and the legal nuances that come with these structures.   Uncle Mud (aka Chris McClellan) raises free-range, organic children in suburban Ohio. He uses a natural building as his soapbox to preach self-reliance and community empowerment. He can be found anywhere there is mud to play in, including the MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIRS.
