I really enjoyed the video. I live in centralAlabama and I am interested in learning more about your building method. It looks simple but experience tells me there is always more to be learned.

Hi Andre,
I am a rammed earth contractor based in Ourimbah. www.rammedearthsolutions.com.au . Look me up and we can talk about tools.

Hi there,
We are building a rammed earth house at ourimbah on the central coast just north of sydney.
Not planning to use the cement jacket system ( although I am very impressed) as we want the look of the earth. I am interested in some information on the compaction tool used, it looks like a wacker packer of some kind. Is it a customised unit or off the shelf? petrol or phematic?
Would appreciate a contact,

Regards,

Andrew
