Clearing the Land

Thank you all for keeping up with our progress. The blog posts will come long after they are completed, this is partially for security of the site as well as to give us time to write the post.

I would love to start right in on Rammed Earth, as that is why we are so excited about this project. However we have found so few resources on actually completing a Rammed Earth project that we want people to see all of what has to be done for the project, from clearing the land, to dealing with permitting to finding a source for the Rammed earth mix.

The first step in the process (after deciding where the building will be) is clearing the land for the building. As you can see in the pictures below, we have a wonderful habitat for our property. Unfortunately some of it is where we will be placing the building (right where the car in the picture is).

With that said my father and I worked for several days and cleared the site for the building. My next post will be on the 2 trees we had to git rid of for the house. We will be making lumber.

Here are some before and after photos of the property:
