CINCINNATI, Jun 12, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- EarthBlock Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:EBLC) an international leader in cost effective building technologies and earthen construction, is pleased to announce that it will begin construction of two 1,272 square foot homes in Midland, Texas. The homes will be built on adjoining lots purchased earlier this year. The homes are anticipated to be completed by early August, 2006.
The walls of the homes will be constructed of compressed earth blocks. The blocks form walls 12 inches thick and provide a strong, quiet and very energy efficient dwelling. The blocks are manufactured on the building site, eliminating shipping and handling of wall materials. This allows the walls to be constructed more quickly than traditional wood framed houses. Each house will contain approximately 6,000 compressed earth blocks. While the cost of the homes will be comparable with other homes in the vicinity, the energy savings and high quality of our masonry homes should make them very popular.
Gregory Pitner, EarthBlock's President noted, "We are excited to be building in Midland, an area with little affordable housing available. We are hopeful that these are the first homes of several planned developments in Texas. This site is particularly inviting as it is within easy walking distance of an elementary school."
