Sounds interesting Clyde - I took a look at your site - what you are
doign looks great!
You got my attention - so, what is your simple system? What have you
learned?
You are looking for hands? I might be interested in coming and lend a
hand and learn from your experience for a bit... Would like to hear
more about what you are doing, your building systems, etc. first.
Also, do you have any experience with tilt up? What do you see as the
drawbacks of tiltup, and what are the advantages of blocks that makes
them the clear choice for you?
