Hi, I am wanting to wrap my single wide mobile home in earthbags essentially encapsulating it with a whole new earth bag structure and living roof to help with thermal regulation. Has anyone done something like this before? I've heard about strawbale wrapping but not earthbag, but no one is clear on what you need or don't need. Do I need a foundation? Rubble trench? Moisture barrier? The roof would not be held up by the bags so they wouldn't be load bearing. The bags would essentially be placed right up against the tin siding of the home and would be covered with stucco. Would I have a condensation problem with this method? Should I fill the bags with an adobe mixture or something else? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
