Beginning a mud stick house Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is the beginning of a mud stick house. The sticks in the picture are the frame and mud is put around the sticks. A thatch or metal roof is later put on the top. The mud has a lot of clay in it to hold it together and is not very absorbent once dry.

This is the lowest cost house a person can make and is more common in small villages.

Hi, Waite,
A photograph like this would be taken in many small villages in the interior of Brazil, and there are many houses built by this method with more than 100 years.
TFS.
