Join Matt as he travels to see a Rammed Earth House being built in the High Desert of West Texas.

You need to be wealthy to use a poor man's building method.

Q: "Where did all this earth come from?" A: "The planet."

Nice, but it seems like something that only wealthy people could afford.

I live in a rammed earth house that my father built

I talked my parents into building rammed earth over Adobe in Tucson AZ back in 1990. Their home was impressive and silent inside. Wall 2' thick, was so massive that the swamp cooler was only run evey 4 days and a single load of fire wood would keep the insides toasty for days. Power wise the house electrical only cost 15-20 a month.

Installed many Geberit Toilets in Germany and was surprised to see this cool building style, great show !
