Fixin on thinking bout an adobe home in Portugal, although I aint quite decided between the adobe, nor the mud-straw, nor the rammed earth. Aint got no money, not hardly a bit anyhow. But I got time, and with a little luck I might can get the land. Anyone here ever attempted this kiinda task before?
No really, I'm not retarded. Any reccomendations for books, literature, websites, etc. would be most welcome. Am about to build a home for my girlfriend and I, and have been saturating myself with information. So any more would be most welcome.
Peace ya'll,
Nick
