I can never get enough of this....Curiosity killed the cat, and buried me in SU.
What shows up here will vary tremendously depending upon what I'm exploring on any given day...

Sawdust Toilet
This wattle and daub outhouse is made with reed mats woven around juniper poles. It is plastered on the outside with lime-clay and clay and sand on the interior. The sawdust toilet inside costs a lot less than a composting toilet and a lot less digging than an outhouse.

Chinese Cave Dwelling
"Ma Heping, a 40-year-old farmer in Yan'an, China, built a cave in 1999 that looks the same as other caves from the outside, but has entirely different indoor functions....It is a two-story cave with living rooms on the ground floor and bedrooms above just like any normal house. Ma has installed a solar energy device on the roof of the cave, and hot water is available all day long."
