I'm not far off thatching, and in my area I've got cat-tails, yukka and regular grass. It's outta deadwood, and there's not much strength in the foundation. I've already had to splint a broken limb.
I'd coat the interior with mud, but maybe it'll be too heavy. Maybe next time. When it's thatched I'll dig the floor down for more space, and build a chimney.
I'm new, obviously, but I'm not half-hearted. It'll take weeks to gather enough material, the area's sparse of everything usable. I'd love some links to your huts, to compare. I'm in Australia.
