I&#39;ve also heard its not that a great of an insulator to meet the standards of passive heating.<br /><br />I&#39;m interested in building a straw bale/rammed earth home in detroit and i want to try and do it for as free as possible, as an example of possible low income housing.<br /><br />It would be great if you knew something i didn&#39;t and you could reassure me of rammed earth in michigan, as it otherwise seems ideal. feel free to email me: brickandmoss@gmail.comDavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13631490618439793270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4287537191265698871.post-90349774046927518202007-10-13T10:55:00.000-04:002007-10-13T10:55:00.000-04:00Hello John,<BR/><BR/>Great site and thanks for the link.<BR/><BR/>I'm not kidding when I say Rammed Earth is for Everyone.<BR/><BR/>You could design and build your own rammed earth house right there in Michigan.<BR/><BR/><BR/>check my other blog<BR/>www.sonoramarammedearth.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>I did it, you can do it.<BR/><BR/>keep up the good work,<BR/>Kathy<BR/>REi4ERammed Earthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06795858949842191364noreply@blogger.com
