Happy New Year, baleheads!
I came across the article linked below about how adding concrete over
earthen floors has a measurable positive impact on occupant health--
especially children's. Many of us think "Yuck!" at the idea of
concrete instead of earthen floors, but you can't argue with the
science.
Anyone have a rebuttal or additional relevant information? At the
very least, this seems like something we natural building types should
take a cool-headed look at.
