near, fremont, ne yea i think the footing has to be at least 36 inches below ground , but if youre in a warm region i think you can get away with a 1 foot footing

that church is pretty interesting, i also like the ideal of cod since there is alot of clay here, or a dugout shelter

I plan to build it in nebraska, and also insulate it via a void in the middle of the earth wall and have at least 2 foot wide wall.

maybe you could tamper it?

Kinda disappointed there isnt a forum for rammed earth, I want to build a house with just rammed earth but I haven't found a suitable replacement for concrete footings that is eco friendly and accepted in usa building codes. does anyone know of eco-friendly replacement for concrete that doesn't involve any petrol products?
