They’re using mesh and a thin first coat at Project Somos. Compare this to how we did our earthbag roundhouse (already about 39,000 views!). They may be in a seismic zone and require the mesh for stability.
Project Somos is establishing a village for abandoned and orphaned children in Guatemala near the town of Tecpán.
I am so loving getting all these stories about this building technique and related subjects and seeing the pictures and visiting the websites of people around the world using this construction for so many beautiful purposes. It is inspiring and fills me with love for my fellow humans. Thank you. Keep them coming!
Thanks, glad you’re enjoying it. It’s fun for me, too. When we started doing the blog four years ago, far fewer EB projects were being built. It’s booming now.
