Shane, do you know of others in your area who have built such a house?
Perhaps a call to those who wil mix and deliver your concrete would
be a good idea, for instance of how much weight is involved with each
wall and might they suggestet a thicker or wider footing and how to
tie the walls in with the footings. a well planned project such as
this, as you know will come out better. Good luck., oh, I forgot .
where are you building this house? Lee

Historical Slumming:
The act of visiting locations such as diners, smokestack
industrial sites, rural villages -- locations where time appears to
have been frozen many years back -- so as to experience relief when
one returns back to "the present."
