Hi everyone!
I am new to this forum, but have been researching like crazy! My husband and 6 children are currently living on an 1/4 acre property. We have many animals and a big garden and we recently purchased 5 acres. We are wanting to build a large-ish home, since we have a big family. My parents live us as well. We were considering rammed earth or earth bags. We live in Yucatan, so think extremely hot, humid, and rocky earth. I want to build down into the ground for cooling, but my husband believes the rocky terrain may prevent this, so passive cooling (or at least protection from the heat) is a huge consideration. I am look for experience, advice, or anything that may help. Of course, we have a limited budget too.
Thank you so much for your time!
Sara and Alejandro
