Hello,
I'd like to talk about alternative construction methods.

Earth bag and cob building technology is a great way to create thermal-mass containing structures with mostly sustainable and recyclable materials.

They are fireproof and by using a combination of earth bags, cob, super adobe, mortar, cement, rebar, wire mesh, logs, plaster, etc you can create extremely durable structures.

DRILL YOUR OWN WELL
