Yes, that sure caught my eye.  It raised two concerns.  Where are  they 
extracting their mud, i.e., borrow pit ?   And do they have  professional advice 
about binders and stabilizers ?  These amateur attempts  at repairs are often 
disasters.  I can only think back to all the many,  many experiments that Gil 
Sanchez made before he was satisfied with the adobes  he made for our work at 
Campo de Cahuenga.  It took many attempts, and for  each one, he waited until 
they were thoroughly dry before evaluating each  mix.
 
I have not heard a single word from Steve.  I had assumed that all  parties 
were eager to get the work started, but nothing since our meeting.   Do you 
know if the Diocese has satisfied their concerns about the old drainage  issue ?  
We have several projects all due to start around October, and I  only hope 
that the schedule doesn't get too jammed up.
 
Best regards,
