Your doing a great job. I am trying to decide how I want to do my house. Cob, haybale, Rammed Earth, Adobe Style Masonry.
I am a little concerned about the cost of forms for the Rammed earth. What was the cost for the forms? I love the rammed earth look better than any of them.

Basic Materials used to make both straight and corner forms are as follows:
* 3/4 plywood sheet (good stuff) -- 7 (should have used the cheap stuff and more braces).
* 8-foot 2x8 -- 14 (horizontal braces)
* 5-foot 3/4 inch pipe clamps -- 14 (Harbor Freight Special I provided pipe)
* 8-foot 2x4 -- 2 (keyway for dove tailing joints between wall sections)
* Some Paint (did I really have to paint'm?)
* Some day I will create one video to sum up all I have done on this little building
