what did people in the 1700's build their homes with?

Answer 1

Wood, logs, brick, stones.

Answer 2

The first homes were simple, rectangular cottages about 16 feet long and 14 feet wide. The walls were rough-hewn timber, the roof was sloped to shed the snow and was thatched with long, tough grass. At first, chimneys were made of logs daubed over with clay, but fireproof, brick chimney's were soon built. Later clapboards were used to cover the rough timber walls and roofs were shingled rather than thatched. Oiled papers or heavy wooden shutters were used for years instead of glass windowpanes."

Answer 3

Compacted Earth walls, very thick over 2 ft at the base and a1 ft at the top.
Also a technique called "waddle and dob" where woven splits of wood or young saplings were covered with a mixture of clay, sand and straw.Their is also "cob construction" where a loaf of clay ,sand and straw were packed on top of each other while wet and allowed to dry in place.
