One of my concerns about Wofati design is managing moisture levels so they don't rot the woodwork.
I know, it's not supposed to have moisture - but that's a fantasy.

First, we have
Sepp, building a shelter in a day:
Total cost for the structure is about $1000 (two layers of felt and one layer of pond liner) plus the cost of the track-hoe. Note that the soil is a meter deep over the structure.
And then we have Mike Oehler's designs that are in many ways similar - with light coming in all four directions.
Then add in the idea of the umbrella architecture:
(more details at http://www.norishouse.com/PAHS/UmbrellaHouse.html )
And a look I like:
(more at http://www.simondale.net/house/index.htm )
I really like the idea that most of the materials come from the land.
And I really like the idea that something can be built so quickly.
And I really like the idea that the structure requires little, if any, heating or cooling.
And so I want to add to it a bit. I want the roof layer to be like this:
12 inches wet soil
newspaper (half inch)
poly
newspaper (half inch)
straw/sawdust
newspaper (quarter inch)
8 inches of dry soil
newspaper (half inch)
poly
newspaper (half inch or more to get a smooth, even surface)
wood (2xX or logs)
So instead of double layers of pond liner/felt/insulation that is trucked in and costs about $8000, the total cost might be about $200.
Will it work? Am I brilliant? Or am I gonna die under eight tons of dirt?![]()
