hardwood wrote:There is nothing wrong with a mud or thatch house. Why have people been brainwashed to think that it is a problem?  I agree with you. There is no problem thatched house. Unless the houses being replaced are aged and falling apart. Nonetheless, kudos to him. It's the thought that counts

Sansa, kwani you've never seen a mud-walled house? THose things last even a lifetime. The mabati is a major leap, in that the locals can now harvest rain water. Saw Mutua doing the same. I have seen mud walled houses but looking at those ones he is replacing, they look like they are crumbling and God knows how long ago they were built. Then when you look at the ones they have built, you can see the poles/twigs they have used so you know they walls are not thick. I also don't know how they react to rain soo ... That's usually the first layer, second layer is akin to plastering which is applied after the first mud layer has dried. You can even go as far as applying different types of clay and cowdung for decoaration. Nyinyi watoto wa nairobi mko na mambo kweli Ohhh Good to know! Lakini I'd have still done mud bricks. why? coz they look better or because they are stronger than the method being used here? or just to make the constructions more labour extensive and expensive for no reason? i have a feeling that you are busy trying to look for a problem where there is none.

Nyinyi watoto wa nairobi mko na mambo kweli Hata kuna 3rd layer ya madoido patterns & graphics!!!! they can also be plastered with cement and sand both inside and out. these things actually last for decades.
