Thanks Nolan, Will answer later, busy family time right now. With more questions or after I go to the other websites and do more research. I will add your address to my address book. The problem with the tax man is our land is close to a trail that one of our neighbors uses for a hunting road twice a year. We also try to be very up front folks. Never want to offend these folks in what is known as "Mob County" in the late 1800"s, early 1900"s they had vigilante gangs. The east and the west parts of the county are so different. If we owned one of the very deep canyons we would do a very sheltered out of site home. Would love to make blocks now,just found a great magazine called "Tuscany" it looked like uneven stone or blocks, then somewhat plastered over, then painted, with beam ceilings and a sophisticated but rustic look. It is far too cold to make block now, it is just 5 above today, with a low of -14 tonight. I have made handmade paper for years so know the process, but with the added ingredients it is not something that I am use to doing. Hope to start as soon as the weather gets better in March or April. But we have to haul them 6 hours, so don't want to get too many done here. I hope to do a motteled look for the outside, one that looks weathered like the stucco homes in France, one that looks old. Do not like that new look. Happy New Year. Thanks for your encouragement, believe me I need it. Scary is not the word, as have to watch the wildlife, mountain lions, coyotes as large as wolves, bobcats and skunks and rattlers. Guns are a part of the building site. I am one of those over planners, I want to know what is going to be done and how it will be done. Then the surprises are easier to take. We have to drive a minium of 80 miles round trip for supplies , so you have to take what you need. Will try to get as much waste paper from offices as I can store here . Last question,,,,, is it better to tint your blocks or poured walls and then do a final coat with the same colorant? Or is that too expensive?
