Default Cob Houses

I saw a video the other day about a young couple that were, with the help of a friend, a cob house. It was round, which I understand is usual, and was made with earth, horse manure and something else I can't remember. The horse manure didn't smell after it had dried so that's not a problem. It was an interesting concept and I have been thinking about making a similar house for storage instead of buying an outbuilding.

This seems like a very interesting concept. I have never heard of it. I know that storage sheds are very expensive, this could definitely be a great alternative. How durable are they? Wouldn't rain affect them?
