"America's first house made primarily of hemp has been built. Using a product known as Hemcrete – a mix of industrial hemp, lime and water – a team of 40 volunteers, sub-contractors and designers have recently completed construction of a hemp house located in Ashville, North Carolina (NC). Eco-friendly design and construction company Push Design has gained the support of community members and local officials alike and now plans to build more."
Here's a more recent link from a site presenting a Scotland community starting their sustainable housing project in conjunction with English based companies specializing in hempcrete.

I can't wait til I have a hemp house! We'll be saying farewell to the lumber biz soon enough...I hope.
