Earth Shelters |

I found these Earth Shelters they build in Ice Land. I thought they were really cool. Alot of work with some of these but i think if you down sized it, it would be awsome.

That is actually a type of housing that is being built in the US, its the most energy efficient home they have come up with thus far, the ground does all your insulating. The only thing that makes them more expensive than conventional homes is the fact that the materials need to be treated for the damp earth so they last longer
