As you know it was sold, but I sure had fun learning and building what you saw. Too bad you didn't see the inside. The kitchen was killer. ;^) Thanks for featuring the house I worked on for so many years. As you know it was sold, but I sure had fun learning and building what you saw.

A swimming pool uses gunite, which is a dry mixture; shotcrete is a wet mixture. With gunite, the cement and sand are premixed and then conveyed down a hose to a nozzle and pneumatically fired at the surface being coated. I do not believe there is a similar test for gunite. The shotcrete test was to ensure the structural strength of the shotcrete wall will be realized by the qualifications and ability of the nozzleman to shoot the shotcrete through the dense reinforcing steel (rebar) without leaving voids and the shotcrete mixture has the required compressive strength (PSI).

Yes, we need to use our water resources much more carefully. Water is as precious as energy. We in http://climatarians.org and all other people need to pay more attention to the ways in which we use it. We also need to adopt efficient ways to conserve it and start implementing them speedily.
