thanks for your comment brother! I can feel your pain even without hearing about it! ;-(
I LOVE earthbag, and it can be such a good way to go.. but its all about the people who lead...

I have tried volunteering in SO many ways,, and the only way i found it worked was to charge them a minimal amount to get committment and let them cover food costs.. that way they can work or chill out and I dont mind.. I always hated having to put pressure on volunteers who I was sponsoring.. it never felt good and was not flexible enough to just let people do things their way a bit.. some come for a day, some a week, some a month, and some never leave! ;-)

i hope you write about your experiences sometimes.. would be interested to hear about it.. Im dreaming to make an earthbag round roof and hope to learn more about it before i try it..
