Weeelll, his FIRST response was "too much work, I'm too old for that..."(weeks of stacking bags vs. a few days with shot-crete). HowEVER, as we looked around the site, he became more & more enthusiastic. He can see combining both designs(YAY!). The cal-earth is VERY beautiful, much more organic than the monolithic...We both love the decorative brickwork in the photos...
Now, this is all a few years down the road...Thanks for turning us on to this site! :)
