MIXING AND MOISTURE
As we have seen the addition of cement to the soil in combination with water is a mixture called soil-cement, of good quality which are responsible for the proportions appropriate elements of both dry land and cement, as elemmento liquid water is essential factor for the durability and strength of the resulting mixture or concrete end.
water to use as we have said above should be as clean as possible, since a dirty water has organic waste and chemicals such as fats react unfavorably with the setting of the mixture gives result in a lean and very low quality.
The economy is the basic factor in our construction so the preparation of the mixture should be preferably in the construction site to save transportation time and labor in the daily impact of payments wage.
also should be used to excavate space for use as septic, sewers, wells or other facilities that may be rrr and not left as possible sources of mosquito breeding sites in wet weather.
When the opposite happens, I mean they necessarily have to land transfer from another site, you must do in transport large quantities, using at least the truck, avoiding the carry in kegs, cans or buckets.
Another important point is to choose the site preparation on hard and free of debris and organic matter.
Depending on the type of work that is to take place, the moisture will depend on two types: wet and semi-humid.
To find the right kind of mix the two types do the following:
- when we are adding water to the mixture must note that this does not look visually dry nor too watery, as we add enough water and stir the mixture to a well, take a small portion of our hands and make a round ball as possible.
-take the ball with your arm stretched out horizontally at shoulder height and dropped onto a hard surface.
If dropping the ball has been pulverized, it means that the mixture has low moisture content or, I mean that is very dry.
If, however, only crushed the ball without falling apart, it means that it is the ideal point of moisture and can start using the mixture.

BLOCK MOULDS GROUND AND CEMENT adobones
At this point we emphasize building blocks instead of bricks, which require a mold manufacture more complex and laborious, which also require other items such as pusher apart from the ram, take the inside of pan with brass for durability and easy stripping etc.
adobones In contrast, the only need of a simple frame and a small ram to compress the mixture into the pan.
all know how to make a mold of rectangular adobe blocks. Here we will show other most striking adobones also to change the texture of a wall plane, is useful ornament was offered to us, to cast shadow on itself, benefiting heat in interiors and we'll see why.

ADOBE molds and
There are plenty of models for adobe, where the limit is only human creation. the most current Adobe and used in colonial times was the rectangular for ease of building (mold) and use.
in this chapter only as a test I leave another model although it is also easy to build, its use provides hundreds of ways at their disposal, so that a rich variety of textures that make them less visually monotonous, besides complying with climatic features suitable for areas with high temperatures.
Here are some examples of a single variation of the mold in a truncated trinagular different ways to mate.
MOLD
DISPOSITION 1
With these bricks you can make different designs also make decorative walls in clean work, plays a role in throwing 46% thermal shadow on itself, allowing an increase in the indoor comfort of the rooms to reduce heat load on these and thus the induction area internal.
DISPOSITION 2
Everything is an initiative of the constructor the provision and distribution of this type of adobe, which also provides structural continuity to bend 90 degrees without interruption
CORNERS CONTINUOUS
