Earthbag House Plans 
Do you know if this house has been built. I have similar plans drawn out already and would love to see this one. I think we are going to have to start finding a place to build!!
Maybe one person bought this plan, can’t remember. For sure, I would build it post and beam. Consider infilling walls with straw bales on scoria bag foundation. This is the fastest, easiest way.
I would like to keep the cost down and build from cash. Is there a low cost effective way to do post and beam?
Our Natural Building Blog explains a number of low cost post and beam methods: using poles from a local forest, straw bales, gravel bag foundations, recycled wood, pallets, etc. There’s also a little info on Alaska mills for cutting your own wood.
