			<description><![CDATA[<p>This week I sit with Harrison Gardner, who's an author, builder, and teacher with 15 years’ experience designing and managing the construction of conventional and alternative buildings worldwide. Stunning. His book, Build Your Own, guides own builders on the fundamentals of construction and managing a self-built project.</p><p>He's also co-founder of Common Knowledge, the non-profit social enterprise focused on sharing skills for a sustainable life.
