Any defects can be corrected with a 1:10 water -wood glue mixture, which when mixed with earth, forms a type of polyfilla. The interior and exterior walls are treated with a diluted mixture of this solution, 1:20 glue-water, sprayed on to harden the wall finish. Finally a 1:4:8:8 wood glue:resin:lime: water paint should be applied. (Photo 19)

Roof
The walls can support roofs of any shape, pitch or material: timber, steel or concrete. The only requirement is the use of a continuous timber wall plate to spread the roof load evenly onto all the walls.

Finishes
Any type of finish can be used on rammed earth walls.

Rammed earth has the advantage that a variety of details can be carved, moulded or sculpted from its walls. Details such as architraves, shelves, cupboards and even fireplaces are possible, limited only by your imagination.
