Hi Nolan,

I have some pictures of Eve's Garden from a trip I took over new years.

My battery room dome used papercrete as non structural fill. Recently
I have a massive source of clay that is over 80% pure. I will be
removing the cement content for the infill of my next dome and
substituting it with this clay. Unfortunately I will not be saving
much money. My lime usage is still pretty high and lime costs almost
40% more than portland cement. I could of course skip the lime, but I
don't want to risk critters, mold, or fire issues.
