I was very interested in the rammed-earth SB house which is being
finished this summer in I would like to see your photos. I considered a rammed earth wall
on the south but I was worried about differential settlement with the other SB
walls. At the moment our plan is 3 SB walls and a glass wall on the south
side. We will use shading and insulated/reflective shutters to manage the
solar gain entering the building from the south and thick earth floors, earth internal
walls and earth staircases for thermal mass. Question We plan to support the beam over the window on threaded bar and adjust
it as the straw settles dose any one have experience of this??? Patrick |
