Adobe? Solar oven?
Good skill to have.
I don't
I think we should show up while he's doing this

Ha ha you're all welcome to come help I designed a machine that will make compressed earth blocks, you use local soils and add about 5% Portland cement to the mix, then the bricks are pressed using hydraulics. Fairly common in a lot of 3rd world countries but building codes in here in the states pretty much keeps it out of use. No building codes here so I can use what I want. The bricks will be 4" X 6" X 12", dry stacked into 12" thick walls that will be stuccoed on the outside plastered on the inside, so in the end it will look a lot like an adobe home but with earth bricks that are very uniform in size and fast to make. As long as I can keep the raw materials coming I should be able to produce 4-6 bricks a minute. Besides the cost of the Portland cement, stucco, plaster, and roofing materials the rest of the structure will pretty much be free.
The best part is when I'm done digging out the materials I should have several nice sized dirt tanks that hopefully will help attract game to the area once they are holding water.
Here's an example of a machine similar to mine Step by Step - Thai Interlocking Brick - YouTube
and here is a bullet proof wall test on a compressed earth block wall The Compressed Earth Block Bullet Proof Test - YouTube
