Finished Solar Adobe Class

Well I finished the Southwest Solar Adobe Class, taught by Joe Tibbets. It was a very informative class. I met quite a few people who are looking to build with adobe and / or compressed earth and was able to start to test some of the soil from our site in Taos, via the shake test and golf ball test (for lack of a better term). I also learned how to determine True South, so you can orient the home correctly, learned about a Speed Leads and also determined how to figure out Sun Angles so you can then determine placement of windows and length of overhangs. I have updated the main site with much of this info already, but will be expanding and reiterating it here as well.
