There seems to be a new revolution in housing. Tiny homes and earth homes have been mentioned more often in the last five years than ever before.

As far as earth or “natural homes” are concerned, are they realistic for the typical person? Certainly, they are not conventional in the way most human beings look at homes, mostly because the house is surrounded by landscape, as well as sitting on top of land.
