Semi-Stabilized Adobe Techniques

Real Estate: Build Or Remodel?


     On July 26th, I started a label on buying real estate where I talked about where to look.

More On Shipping Container Building


Back on May 16th I wrote a post on Shipping Container Buildings
and as I was reading the local Santa Fe arts guide yesterday, Pasatiempo
 in the Santa Fe New Mexican, there was an article on the very same project.
 Sorry but Pasatiempo is a pay site, not sure about the archives.

We are in the Taos area and last week we stopped in Ranchos de Taos
 to see the the San Francisco De Asis church.

I would like to continue with a post I did on Stone Steps on March 7th.

maybe these will give you some design ideas.
