ReplyDeleteWalls are holding up pretty good. You might be lucky. I imagine rammed earth walls where the soil has a lot of smectite clay would self-destruct in climates where there is a defined wet and dry season. In that case I wonder if cob might hold up better. Straw availability might be limiting in your case(?).
I think RE actually holds up better than cob. it is har der, so water is slower to penetrate. although they are similar. I can take a hose to my walls, and if was made right there is no damage
DeleteWhat i don't realize is actually how you are not really much more well-liked than you might be now. You're so intelligent. You realize therefore considerably relating to this subject, produced me personally consider it from a lot of varied angles. Its like men and women aren't fascinated unless it’s one thing to do with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs excellent. Always maintain it up!
