Main Level Compressed Earth Block

We Finally Started Laying Block in June 2022- Each block is 55 pounds - 16 inches x 10 inches x 4 inches. We had a fantastic crew of CC students and recent graduates and we had a blast inside of life throwing us some very serious curve balls. We cast the sills for the windows and built the forms for the sills and laid block and cut block and mixed mortar and every day the wall got a little higher. We built bucks for the windows and tied rebar. Then we found a master mason and his son and they worked hard and got the walls done before it got cold.
