It's taken us 2 years to complete these walls, so glad to be done. It's been a ton of work, but it's kind of cool what you can accomplish with a bit of drive.

Rammed Earth House Walls Are Completed!
Here we are finishing up the last full height wall, two window walls and an entrance.
I'd sure like to lay around, Geez
It rained for 3days right after the wall was done.
Well that's the walls, Wow!

Crushed rock and some weeping tile.
So we're not done shoveling yet, palm face.
We are making a shallow frost proof foundation,going 4' instead of 3' just cause :)

why did you use rigid insulation in the center of the wall?
ReplyDeleteHello Edith,
DeleteDue to the length of the winter season here, having a thermal bridge to -30° would not fair well in regards to heating efficiency. This way we can have the benefits of rammed earth in this climate.
This really clear my doubts about architecture!

Amazing! Have dreamed of a rammed earth home for almost a decade... trying to figure out it its possible to get a construction loan to build here in rainy mountains of Western North Carolina. Why did the walls take two years?
