Thats a cool construction. Well done on building it. I was wondering what sort of climate the hut is in with respect to humidity and rain?

The structure from the photos was built in North Carolina. The saying that you will hear all over the natural building world is good boots and a good hat or something along those lines. A big roof, and a good (and high) foundation to avoid too much rain hitting the walls and the bottom to stay dry.
England has found the oldest documentation of such buildings to date from the 15th century... and some are still standing. In dryer areas such as parts of the middle east (I believe it was Jordan) there is a seven story apartment building made of dirt....I can't remember if it's cobb or adobe, but either way it is impressive and probably not the only building like it!
Very cool. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Of course. You're welcome
