We briefly explored the idea when we built, but it was hard enough getting council approval for straw bale for at the time, let alone a builder to handle it. Without a registered builder on board, banks would only loan us 80% of our land value. Our land cost sweet FA.What if it's activated water though?
Serious question: why isn't more underground living being explored? Especially here. Natural insulation, cooler, and could make for excellent bushfire resistance if you plumbed in some kind of oxygen / air filtration back up. No?
