	~~[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rammed_earth~~ Rammed ~~earth]~~ is an ancient building method that has seen a revival in recent years. It produces noncombustible, thermally massive, strong, and durable buildings. However, walls can be labour-intensive to construct without machinery (powered tampers). Structures are susceptible to water damage if not adequately protected or maintained.		=Basics=
