If an EB home was built with a dome shape, could shingles still be used if the owner wished?
The trick with putting shingles on an EB dome is attaching them. You would need to have a solid material (probably wood) to nail them to, and this is hard to do with the dome shape, although not impossible. If you went to the trouble to create a roof structure to nail the shingles to, you might as well not bother with the earthbag dome, in a way, and just use the structure for the roof and insulate it in a traditional way. Q: What is the best plastering for the outside walls, the area suffers from heavy winter snows and light rains in the summer.
