  1. Ahead of your time. Only 2 years later unpredictable rainfall is literally 'putting a damper' on the prospect of viability. Guess it wasn't raining where you were back then. Well that has changed, drastically in some places, like the country I'm in. And it's mostly raining everywhere else now! And a more recent build even showed what happened when the build was totaled by a little bit of rain when they forgot to cover the partial build overnight. So it took a lot longer than a day to fix the sabotage. So, not too many areas are available now without the amount of rain the rest of the world gets. Unless built indoors, which is what I would do as inexpensively as possible. and then moved outside, which would be a task for the budget and a strain on the structure/materials. And like most other buildings, if the material doesn't dry out completely before being sealed up there will likely be black mold type problems. Now maybe when Earth gets past the evolving cycle of Insane weather and Superstorms, and until the far enough future arrives when the world-wide droughts begin. There are only a few of the worlds deserts where a perfect, or even successful outdoor build can happen, But, not many people can live there and the deserts they live don't get much rain. Combined with the fact that those people don't seal up their homes. So they are completely air dry all the time, so no mold, etc. . Hope this is all considered in your FREE (maybe) seminars. Just Saying. :)

  2. You bet. A message designed to generate uninformed fervor over a 'not as easy as it sounds' concept based on figures that in the context of reality, I believe, were related to building the little garden shack size units. The owner of the big one that took 4 yrs, also made an incomplete blanket statement, (Ah hates those with a passion !!), regarding how many people live in Adobe houses, not adding that all of those people live in the deserts, that I mention further in my information comment above !! :)) Also without mentioning that none of those people worry about a sealed environment (you know doors, windows, and air conditioning, that are so precious, and 'necessary' to people who don't live in a desert, as is. A little bit of information is useless, and misleading. Some would say , even dangerous, when compared to ALL the information. Here's a non-salesman "...with the facts Jack !" :))) https://youtu.be/CAW9i5xzyXA A young couple that start from scratch on their totally off-grid home, cistern and root-cellar.
