Merry Christmas!

There is a lot of information on the web about Rammed Earth. I am struggling with the idea of how to structure this site to be informative and easy to use. As you know we have started blogging on our Rammed earth project here in Dallas, Texas. Blogs tell a great story, but don't really make information easy to find all the time.

Take for instance my favorite Rammed Earth Blog (Rammed Earth is for Everyone). This is a great blog chalk full of information, however I continue to find new great post that have been there for years, just because it is a blog format and not organized by subject. I am at a loss of what categories will be good to sort post into... actually I have some ideas, but want any comments to this post to not be polluted with my thinking. I am hoping that others will think of something I have not considered.

As we build both this site and this blog I hope to have projects that people can follow (our projects as well as the projects of others (yes you can blog your project here). I hope to have instructions not only on building but also thoughts on working with building inspectors and builders not familiar with the medium. I hope that this will be a place that truly helps people do their own projects whether they do everything themselves or just contract everything out.

Don't be afraid to share what you know and we can all benefit from each others knowledge and experiences. It is our intention to make this a site that will benefit everyone that is interested in doing Rammed Earth (or using earth as a construction medium). If you have any ideas on information we need here, please let us know.
