Would it be silly to build a home with earthen plaster in my area? I can't seem to find out how it holds up to lots and lots of rain. i don't want to put all that work into something that will just melt after one spring I live in Northeastern Ohio….it rains….a lot.

I am restoring an unfired brick house.The plaster is falling off, it looks as if someone put cement on parts of it at sometime. I am going to remove all the plaster, could this plaster mix be used for this and how many coats would be necessary, or is there a different receipt's for the second coat (if required). Many Thanks Karina Hi thanks for this information.
