I want to let you know how much I appreciate the postings on your site. In fact, I found an item that is critical to a project I’m working on in Del Rio. You announced and had a link to the new ASTM listing for Earthen Construction. I bought and downloaded it then and there!
If there’s ever a greenbuilding hall of fame, you should have a statue in there… well, at least a decent plaque!
