I want to go back to the countryside to build earthen houses. How thick are the walls of adobe houses in rural areas?

I want to go back to the countryside to build earthen houses. What is the appropriate wall thickness of rural adobe houses? I want to go back to the countryside to build adobe houses. To tell the truth, adobe houses are rarely built in rural areas now, and I'm afraid they are gone. I built a mud house in the country. Now I'll tell you the basic process.

In rural areas, the first step is to obtain land for houses through villagers' groups and village committees. When choosing a site, we should consider that there is a backer in the back, and it is best to be surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the front should be very open, so that we can see far and broaden our horizons. Then we should consider the convenience of water, roads and electricity and the supporting facilities and conditions closely related to life. After obtaining the land, you must go to the township government where the land belongs to handle the relevant examination and approval procedures for repairing the earth house. After all this is done, the construction can begin.

Wiring, how many adobe houses will be built? Is it necessary to build yards and adobe houses at both ends? The plan of building adobe houses should be done in advance according to your idea, and it is best to have drawings or renderings of the selected land. Now this condition is also met. Then dig the foundation trench, and be sure to dig it to the end. The width of the foundation trench should be determined according to the geological conditions of the land where it is located. If it is originally a mountainous area, the geological conditions are difficult, and it is not necessary to dig too wide, 1.5 meters to 2 meters wide.

If the geological conditions are not very hard, we should dig wider. Secondly, we must dig deep. After the foundation trench is dug, the foundation should be hit with stones. Building a house is the same as building a building. The foundation must be solid and reliable. This is a prerequisite for preventing and avoiding soil subsidence after the building is completed! The height of foundation should be determined according to the general environment and geological conditions of adobe houses. If the weather is wet, the foundation can be built higher, so that the house will not be wet.
