Is it a really good idea to carve your home into semi-lithified tuff? Seems like you would be doing a lot of dusting.
Well, I guess it’s pretty arid and these homes have been around awhile.
Advantage: it’s free (just a bit of labor).
Advantage: it’s cool in the summer, and well insulated in winter.
Disadvantage: it falls apart sometimes, to catastrophic effect.
I didn’t notice it being dusty.
