Winter Earth Tube Update

Published 2021-12-08
Its been 6 months since I did my last video, which happened to be an earth tube update. So here is another one. This time you get to see the winter performance (technically Dec 7th isn't winter, but it is cold).

As an update, I'd say the house is performing well thermally, especially since the soil isn't even over the middle section of the house yet. We moved in about 3 weeks ago and are getting used to life in the new place. We are very busy fixing up our old house for sale while also living in semi-stalled-construction with boxes of our stuff stacked all around, but this too shall pass. For more detail than that, you can find photos and weekly updates at www.facebook.com/HomeintheEarth

These sorts of walk thru videos are pretty easy to make (I filmed this one at lunch and did production in a couple evening hours), but time lapse videos always take me many many hours. In other words, you might get another walk thru before I have time for another time lapse step ;)

For this video, the eagle-eyed among you may notice that zone 2 heat is on during the first mechanical room clip. This is because my actual first clip didn't take (I had it set to photo instead of video). I figured it out and re-filmed it after the other clips, but forgot to turn off the heat first and didn't even notice until I was editing ;)
