[QUOTE="Zephyrus, post: 2072822, member: 8728"] I guess you wouldent feel real comfortable knowing your walking over 2 x 4 with only 1/2" to 3/4" plywood cover the floors in alot of homes. Belive it or not, in many homes before you add in tile or carpeting or similar thats the only real 'support' your flooring has. its surprizingly sturdy if prone to warping over age or water damage. As for standing on 2" thick of concrete effectivelly.. you'd be surprized how often thats the case. Even though more would be better, expecially if your expecting alot of furniture... 4-6" would be preferable. a whole 12" wouldent be a bad idea. But I did also suggest wood timber reinforcing. 2-4" of contrete over wooden support members would make for effective flooring (at least enough that you could strengthen it more later). Going at a very casual pace of 3-4 weeks per floor a tower will go up fairly quickly. as for Rock to Mud not being joined.. I'd imagine it behaving in much a similar manner as concrete which bonds to the stone around it. you could include metal rebar into the blocks to help further join and strengthen the walls. I did a lil searching and a 1ft cube of Granite is gonna weigh around 150-175lbs. Admitantly thats granite. so depending on teh stone you use. a 10ft 'block' of stone is likly to weigh in at about 1,000-2,000 lbs. With mud you figure it might be heavier due to the water so 2-3 trips with a Levitate spell will move you nearly a Ton of rock in mud form. I can picture it now... laborers filling a dump truck(wagon) with 500lbs of mud and seeing it lift up on its own off the ground, tip and dump the mud into wooden 'forms' Thouqua (I think I mispelled that) are the fire worms that burrow your thinking of..
