Caliche Adobe Blocks
Today I made some caliche blocks with my machine. Read about someone in Texas that did that with an ACT machine. So I made a 2'x3' screen from 1/2"x1" cage wire and 2x4's and put it over the the top of a dual wheel wheelbarrow. After getting some screened, put it into my trammel that has 1/4" hardware cloth. Then put it into the machine and out came a very nice brick. It rained last night,1/2", so the caliche dirt was a bit wet. Some tended to stick to the ram face. Will see in a couple of days how they turn out. So far no cracks.
