    The layered wall design to block moisture and provide insulation is genius. I wonder how long it took them to figure it out? We’ll probably never know.

    People are trying to make earthbag and cob houses breathable yet wateeproof. Wouldnf doing thebthick walls with gravel in the middle do that?

    Two questions I have is of those that have a dugout construction as in when you step through the door to go inside the ground floor drops a few feet, how do they keep that from flooding during heavy rain? And also as far as the roof vent for the fire smoke to escape from when it’s raining do they have some sort of hatch or cover to keep the water from coming through the vents and getting the inside of the house wet and muddy?

    I hope you guys got to go just a few kms further North up the island – it’s about the most beautiful and magical place I’ve ever been. I found these turf houses to be quite spooky, but the whole park and area is so incredibly peaceful. Time stops at L’Anse Aux.
