      simple if we house them for cheap it lowers the value of "proper" homes lowering the demand so that the price goes down

    I was wondering how many manhours this took for you and the people that helped you. Did you hire a team or were they friends or family that helped you? If you hired a team, did you have to teach them the method, and did hiring them add significantly to the costs? I'd really like to build a house like this, but I am questioning if it is too unrealistic to finish a house all by myself. However, I'm wondering how one goes about hiring a team to build it, since it is an unconventional building method, and they wouldn't be trained. I am also concerned about the costs of hiring a team to help, and am wondering how much it would add to the costs of the house alone. Sorry for so many questions. Lol! Thanks!

      I don't actually know what they did here, but it looked like a class or learning opportunity to me. Volunteers who come together to learn how to build with earth bags. The goal isn't to built that structure, that was just the training project.

      The weight can be an issue. Use a strong lintel like a 4x4 if you have many layers above the window. A 2x4 is often not enough.

      Yes. If they used buttresses then they could add on to the structure later. In many states an earthbag dwelling is accepted in the code. It all depends on your local code. Sometimes having separate buildings gets you around restrictions like if you put the kitchen in a separate building. Simple answers to necessities are drilling a well, septic system, compost toilet, and solar. It is very do-able!
