Wow, I was not expecting that at all. 😯  Shalina Luna and Ben Griffith had their kids’ futures in mind.  They bought a lot in Ignacio, Colorado, thinking that they would build a house for their children in that land once they turned 18, and Joli Galvan had just turned of age for her new home.  The couple made an off-the-grid house using straw bales covered in cob on a 34×17-foot concrete slab.  Cob is a mixture of clay, sand, straw, and water, and it’s fireproof.
