Or, maybe it's more like a S**t Brickhouse?

Is this article worth one of my allotted clicks or will it be crappy?

With a low fat, high fiber diet, I believe I could sh!t bricks. Organic adobe, what a concept!

With some ceviche from a sketchy roadside stand you wouldn’t need bricks. Just build it like a 3-D printer. Likely be more of a mud hut though :biggrin:

Thought you might have meant this,, made from Sargasso weed, ironically it grows from the increased effluent.... https://www.theyucatantimes.com/2018/09/first-house-entirely...

A promising technology, unfortunately the structural integrity of the bricks is weakened by the presence of corn kernels ..

My oldest brother was in the Air Force in the early 50s stationed in France. He said they made bricks from the solid waste from the out houses mixed with straw and used them in making homes. So I guess what this article says is not new, just cleaner.
