Little different post than typical but I remember being really excited about their tractor and compressed earth block press a long time ago.

Is this just one of those "never build something you can buy" type efficiency things? I'd love to know if anyone has had any direct involvement or firsthand knowledge.

I'm also interested in this project. Looks like there has been some recent activity: https://www.opensourceecology.org/2024-product-release-of-seed-eco-home-4/

You should contact them about getting involved! I did see they had jobs a while back for a project.

Maybe they don't have enough support.

Reading it, it seems like you pay to learn and then actually building it requires much larger amounts of money than expected?
