[GSBN] rice hull moving equipment question

[Paul Olivier]

Darrel,

We tried to move rice hulls using a cellulose insulation blower.
It did not work at all.
You need a sawdust blower as typically used in wood-working shops.
See slide 46 of
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22013094/Rice%20Hull%20House/The-Rice-Hull-House2.pdf
If the hulls are dumped outside, do not let them get wet.

Thanks.
Paul
