Is a house of (a mud the mixture with a straws) be practical, and not spoil at the rain...? And is I can build second floor above it?

Update:

Thank for the all, I know that was succeeded previously, but I afraid that the rain spoil it. what be your opinions?

Update 2:

I invented something, we can cover the clay-house of the outside by the cements (pelting it by cements), and cover the house of the above by bricks as umbrella. But naturally is the rain hurt the clay-block if there are no covers?

Update 3:

Thus the answer be that, the rain not hurt the clay-house, because the previous people used it successfully.

    It would depend on the mud. Mexicans have been building adobe homes for many years but they have they best clay in the world and a hot climate that cures it.

    this is called daub and wattle == you need to do some searches to find this and the possibility of the 2nd floor .... the construction that you want has been done for centuries and you should start by buying some books or going to the library ..... OK

    I would check this out on the Internet with reports from such rainy/tropical/arid regions.
