Learning, trialling and building with Stabilised Rammed Earth (SRE) in Australia.
Today was the first day in a long time that we have rammed any walls. I have been looking forward to getting stuck in for months, however health and other issues have held us up. I was excited to be well enough so started forming up early on the foundations we laid a couple of days ago…
We had thought it would be easy – but due to sickness, finances and a number of other issues, it is now going to be very difficult to get a bathroom sorted for hot showers before winter… We have running water (mostly) for doing dishes, though the main plumbing for waste water needs to go right where the north verandah will be. To make things easier and cheaper in the long run, the verandah had to be next!
What started as a whimsical idea led to one of our longest, most fun and eye opening Jesus times yet! It involved building a wall – with one hand!
