Earthbag EcoRancho Update
“Our EcoRanchos are well under way to be finished on the exterior and interior (Lime based Plaster). Missing are the stairs (access to the Lofts) and some other details before we proceed with inner finishings and decor.

You may remember that candy bars cost about five cents at the time … [they’ve probably gone up a little since then].
