Don’t miss this stunner custom home. The site is in Spanish and so you’ll have to sort out the details. They’re using bamboo, tile, ferrocement, stone, roof water catchment, etc. to create a one of a kind amazing build.

I’ve been digging through their site a bit – check out this device to keep the bags a uniform width:

That device is not needed. Bags will naturally expand to the same width. And after 2-3 or so courses are finished I like to tamp the sides flat somewhat. Not completely flat, just remove the high spots and even out the wall to reduce plaster work. We did a blog post about this if anyone is interested. Search for words flattening walls. Here’s the link:

Thanks Owen for the link to their site. I have added it to my Blogs I Follow. I look forward to catching more posts and exploring their site. From a quick look I was very impressed with their rain water filter.
Here is the site translated to English by Google Translate.
