Bradley | This home was built by Owen Bradley, a conservationist who believed in saving our forests and building fireproof and durable building. He dug the adobe from the back yard, set up the long 2 x 12 forms that adobe earth was rammed into. Six inches of earth was poured into the long forms and then tapped with a 12 pound hand held tamper until it was only three inches thick. The adobe was allowed to dry a few days and then forms moved so that seams overlapped. Work was begun in April and the family moved in on Nov. 11, 1934. A friend (Charlie Snediger) built the indoor fireplace and friends helped with the plumbing and electricity. The house was built before the discovery that adding bitumul (sp?) would waterproof the adobe; so horse manure was used. The house is cool in summer and warm in winter. Beams, ceiling and tile are form a wrecked house in Stockton. | ||
