We're moving soon, probably to property with no house, and I'd like to make something with alternative methods (we don't have much cash, to be honest) Probably earthbags.
It looks to me that the most expensive part of building with natural methods is when you try to put a traditional roof on it. So, my thought is to cut out the need for traditional roofing by doing something like this:
Is there anything about this design that would present problems, either in building it or over time? Will earthbags be ok in this configuration? Or
should I just do earthbags for the vertical walls, and perhaps cement bricks for the arches? I've heard some people say that traditional stucco is what they use for domes, so I imagine that's what I'd use for the entire exterior?
Location would be east Texas. Not sure particularly where, we're still hunting for that perfect plot of
land.
