Home in the Earth Ealk-Thru: December 2020 w/ FLIR One Pro

Published 2020-12-07
Many of you have been asking for another walk thru video and, quite frankly, they are a lot faster and easier to produce than a time lapse video. ;)

Since the last time, we have added the eyebrow windows and closed the whole place in. We have also finished the two lower roof sections and I’ll be starting on the upper roof later today. Then we’ll leave outside alone until spring comes around again.

I recently bought a FLIR ONE Pro heat vision camera, so we’ll be able to take that for a test drive also…

    "The boys are framing out their closet..." That deserves a thumbs up all by itself.
  • Ooh my God, that Flute sounds awesome in that house, almost like a church 👏😄 You should let the Kid play every time you are showing us something in the house 😉

    I have been watching from day one. You and your family are awesome. You inspire me and my family with this project. We love these updates. Keep on trucking. You’ll get there eventually.

    I have been thinking about getting FLIR One Pro. This is a great affirmation that i should get one.

    There is an expected divergence between wall and air temperature, especially if just arrived, the air heats up much more quickly then the walls which have to get heated by the warm air itself. Best way to really test is either in the morning just before break of dawn after a cold night, so no solar influence affects your readings. Alternatively a cloudy day works well too ^^ best is to have a combination due to your high thermal mass making it hard to read.

    The house itself is incredible. FLIR camera a cool tool. Would be interesting to see how my little sauna building looks when we have it fired up. I suspect I'd see more heat leakage than you do, both because of the very high heat levels, and due to the fact that I don't think I was as careful about insulation and sealing as you were.

    Looks like you still have energy left to finish! Almost ready to follow though on the name. The scallop valleys draining may stain the stucco, but I am sure you already have something figured out for that.
  • Thank you for sharing the videos. I also watched the video of the crew pouring the concrete floor. I was wondering if there would have been less condensation if it would have been done in the summer time. Or, would there have been more condensation. Thanks
