Update: SIREWALL course

As outlined in my research proposal i would like to take a course through SIREWALL, a company that builds rammed earth structures based in salt spring island, on the process of building with rammed earth and the benifit to the occupants. The closest course date is in April, but i think that might be a busy month so i will try to take it in May. I have emailed the company for more information on the course, such as if im still able to registar and i will post the progress in a coment below when i get a response.

    I recently got a reply from SIREWALL, there is still room availble in the course for May 4-5, now I just have to figure out how the UREAP funding will work.

    We are based in Oliver. Started out by loving old stone architecture, then being dissatisfied with stick framing conventions. Also,there was this thing in the 1970's called The Energy Crisis that we found most galvanizing.
