The real down to earth home is being built with polypropylene bags filled with clay and sand soils from her own property. The bags are all connected with barbed wire and pounded into place to compact them and make them even.
This type of building material can help with heating and cooling; supplemental heat will be radiant floor heating and a pellet stove. There is a concrete foundation and utilities.
