Yup. Earthbag walls 3 feet thick, two storeys high. First floor ceilings will be 10 feet, second floor, a little lower, but still high.

In this climate, heat’s the killer. The roof will be fully two feet thick - earth held down by buffalo grass.

Should be nice and cool, and, with earth-coupling through underground cooling tubes, no real need for anything more than a bit of ventilation on the hottest days.

Comes winter, a small rocket-stove should suffice. I;m used to cold, anyway, (well, Texas cold); a year in a travel trailer will toughen you up like that.

Got proper zombie traps?
