Sharron:
We are planning to use cement, sand & paint this makes makes a great stucco. The walls do need to be sealed eventually. We plan to let ours air dry for at least up to one year before we put the finally coat on.
No over hangs on the roof we do run a small parapet that directes the water to run off some down spouts we have installed.
We travel down to 65 miles north east of amarillo to see my husbands family all the time so making a trip up to NM isn't all that bad and we could get your hands really dirty : ) It is a fun material to work with.

He just did not think he could squeeze everything in at that time. I really wanted to make it the seminar. Is there anyone using slip forming in Texas that would mind letting a novice come help one weekend to learn the tricks of the trade?
