It held up great. The clay cured enough in the sun to not be bothered by it. It stood for 3 or 4 years IIRC. After that we built the brick house around it.<p>The reason we built this was because we got a plot of land to farm, but it was a ways away from where we lived, so we needed some shelter to stay there during the summers. Another requirement was that it had to be resistant to people trying to break in to steal stuff (it was).
