congrats for choosing your solution @queenmountain !
i think its good to mention one point!

and they are known to keep the warmth in the winter

if you live somewhere with cold winters then im afraid this is totally not the case.. Stone houses are some of the coldest environments to stay in when its cold.. really really bad!! You will need some major heating system to keep warm if you live in sub zero winters.. They are the BEST in hot climates and can keep you cool all during the summer..

Stone walls simply release too much heat too quickly and so just a few hours after the sun goes they suck the heat out the living space.. If you insulate all the walls it can help but you no longer see them inside and its quite a lot of work..

hope that helps!!!

ps the earthbags are probably the cheapest best performing (not including earthships) to make..
