myAnswer[1] = "Councils will approve Earth dwellings providing they abide by NAS specifications based on stabilised Earth Specifications and guidelines to Australian standards."
myAnswer[2] = "Consultation with a reputable rammed earth wall contractor  can help with guidelines and requirements for design ranging from wall thickness, heights, engineering availability and contacts for architects and draftsmen. Everyone's plan is unique and different as are locations and budgets."
myAnswer[3] = "Rammed earth walls are heavy walls. Footings that are standard for masonry are necessary, as well as well  compacted sand pads on stable building sites. Murchison Stabilised Earth is happy to supply footing details to clients upon construction of their buildings."
myAnswer[4] = "Most materials are brought to the site. One of the first questions that we ask people is what colour and texture they are hoping to achieve. This determines the material we use including limestone, gravel, red,yellow or river sands and cement type. This in turn determines the strength and colour."
myAnswer[5] = "Rammed earth is comparable with masonry building products, especially external walls where insulation is required. External walls are 300mm thick, internal walls can be reduced to 200mm thick. Internal timber frame, steel frame or fast brick are 90 mm thick and for this reason are often chosen for internal walls with just the odd feature wall left for rammed earth. "
myAnswer[6] = "The advantages of building with rammed earth, apart from the wonderfully unique and healthy environment they create, is primarily the insulation qualities that they promote. Painting and maintenance are not high priority with buildings of these type and technology has now progressed to the point where waterproofing is now incorporated in the walls as they are constructed. Once you have lived in a earth house there won't be any going back!"
