I am planning to build in southwestern Utah over the next couple years. I often find the ancient Pueblo Indian homes made from cobbed mud and sticks in the walls of the canyons near my land. They first inspired me to look into ways to build my own earthen home. I would also like to incorperate Juniper,Cedar, Pinion and Ponderosa limbs and wood into the house and making furnishings of which there is plenty around me.
