  1. My eventual plan is to build an earthbag home up in the mountains. Want to dig about 6-feet down. double wall, at least at the base. Then drive rebar through the walls for extra stability. then bury/berm the above grade portion and have a green roof. Yes, I want a thermally stable hobbit house.

    This is one of the simpler and potentially strongest roof designs I've seen so far. Wondering if it would be strong enough to support 8-12" of dirt on top if those rafters were at a 10-15 degree pitch peak to walls.
