About Me

First beginnings in summer 1985.

This the life work of Walt DeVore, a Georgia Tech Industrial Engineer, class of 73.  I can be sorta smart to sorta dumb but am long on persistence to develop a perceived good idea.  The system slowly came together over years of hiking twice daily with my dogs adjacent to the Continental Divide. Whispers on the wind tickled my fancy, and grabbed me to dedicate my life’s path to putting this together.  It came little by little.

For ten years after graduation I dabbled in various endeavors that the real world presented but nothing felt profound enough to pursue. Fate put me on a (remote at the time) mining claim high in the Rocky Mountains.  My task became how to house myself.  Rammed earth was my first idea.  This concrete system evolved from there.  

I'm a great skeptic to the status quo as it has brought us to the brink.  My overwhelming motivation is to not do as others.  Construction alternatives have provided ample opportunity.  Living on a beautiful and often furious mountainside puts a lot into perspective.  Balancing that duality becomes part of every day consciousness.  My blessing and curse is working alone.  There's no distractions so one can ponder deeply yet there's no feedback or help to supplement the thinking and the labor, however, discovery is always just a flash away.

The rules are stacked against the regular decent person whom likely labors a legitimately tiring day.  They're providing the profit for the one's with the bucks to have more bucks as the more bucks one has the more it's not enough.  

I believe cooperation can be a new currency for working people.  With my system, making the panels is plenty easy enough, especially if concrete is prepared in bulk with precise mixing.
