Still Ad-free and Independent - The Free Wiki for Mud Homes


Hi, I'm Atulya. For over 14 years I've shared pretty much everything I know about natural building and off-grid living for free through The Mud Home. That includes a building PDF that's been downloaded over 30,000 times by people from Texas to Mumbai to Melbourne. But here's the honest truth: like Wikipedia, I run on reader support, and I actually need it to keep this site alive. Without patrons, The Mud Home can't continue.

If any of the information on this website has helped you, or you just want to see The Mud Home carry on, join me on Patreon. As a patron you'll get access to my Mud Home Podcast, a direct line to ask me your building and off-grid questions, exclusive videos from projects like Orchard Barn, and more depending on your pledge. This isn't a nice-to-have for me. It's what keeps the lights on and the site free and ad-free for everyone. Come be part of the community, and help make sure it's still here for the next person who needs it.
