No Construction Background Required // Earthship Build

WOOT! MIRACLE IS MY GRAND DAUGHTER!!!! SOOOO PROUD OF HER!!!!!

It’s so nice to see young people who are not afraid to work hard! This is a great alternative that puts recycle repurpose reuse to work♻️

Awesome job Billy love the earth ship movement.

There has to be an easier way to fill/pound those tires LOL

Thank you for the Video Billy

Smarter, not harder…a beautiful miracle…this is awesome.

😂 coffee cup goes into the tire 😂I love it.

There is hope for the future with ppl like that ! Love it!!!

Earthships have some really neat concepts, primarily maximizing solar gain and storing it in a huge thermal mass while using earth tubes for ventilation as needed. I don't think tires are the way to go for most people (it's for keeping your costs very minimal at the expense of huge amounts of labor.) I also looked into rammed earth and compressed earth blocks (CEB or PEB). I've settled on dry-stacking (and filling) cement blocks, insulation on the outside, and using a surface bonding cement/stucco to tie it together, and keeping the other concepts. Using that along with a solar collector for hot water and radiant floor heating I'm hoping to need virtually no other heating. I'm considering earthen floors. It'll be a lot of work but probably less than I'd need to do work to pay someone else to do it after taxes.

I have wanted to build an earthship for several years now, enjoying the videos.

I am so excited to watch you chronicle this process!

Very cool video!!!✌️😎👍✝️🙏🥱💤😴

These young people are awesome. The older folks are too..

Well done thanks for breathing life into this awesome technology

I thought a person getting into this type of thing would have known who Micheal Reynolds is first.

This is probably the best time of year for what y’all are doing there. Winter in Arizona is when y’all can work all day without killing yourself with the heat, but the season doesn’t last long. Summertime siesta is essential to survival there. I spent eight years in the Phoenix area, and for six months I pedaled a bicycle four miles to and from work in triple digits.

Cool that you're doing this! My folks live in a town that has one of the earlier earthships, the first in CO. When I was a little kid we went to a presentation on it, & I recently toured it when it was up for sale. I love the way they've made improvements on things like cooling using design similar to ancient Egyptian structures. Earth shelter with passive solar, in general, is a great choice when the solar orientation is available.

This is awesome 👌 👏 👍

Very cool! I'm impressed with what they are doing and good on you for getting involved.

I love earthship homes.
