The stucture will be a significant fire hazard unless you plaster it.  You
can probably use local clay/sand, or buy clay and/or sand very cheaply.  You
also will want to keep out bugs, rodents, etc. Plastering is highly
recommended.

You may want to look at some of the Steen's methods used in Mexico.  If you
have alot of time and labor, you can salvage almost everything you need.

Cheers-
Bill
