Today we were presented with a question about the use of Compressed Earth Blocks. The builder claims that these are approved and accepted in New Mexico. From what we can gather he will be using on site earth to manufacture the blocks with equipment he owns. These "blocks" will be used to construct the walls above grade to build houses and barns. Are any of you familiar with this process and what "approved" agency can do the testing? We have not seen anything like this here in West Virginia before. So any guidance would be very helpful. Thanks, Mike
