Earth bag house
The cinder block wall for the bathroom is up.

Awesome! Hopefully most of Haiti can be rebuilt using earthbags. It seems like a solid solution once you plaster over it. I wish more people would use this construction in the developed world. The stress coping capabilities of earthbags seems superior to most "normal building techniques", but too many people are afraid by the unfamiliar. Everything I've read about this stuff seems great. I hope this structure stays up for many generations, and I hope more of them spring up in Haiti.
