    EVERYBODY needs the safety and security of a home of thier own. Thanks!
  • That's hysterical! Dirt plus bag always translated to politicians, lawyers and ceos in my world! Lol. Also digging the tunes, taking me back to the local punk rock seen when I was a lad.
  • @Bad_Chad
    3 years is a lot of dedication. Well done, Dan!
  • Never seen the hyper adobe method. The Ninja machine is really impressive
  • @MagicBusandUs
    😂 the government was giving us a severance pay, saying “you don’t need us anymore” I freaking love that! The sage. Meditation. All the energetic things 😁😊
  • Using recycle styrofoam can insulate the exterior of your home with a product called styro Crete . Some of the benefits are free insulation and preventing going into the land dump
  • Well I must say I'm impressed. Handsome and smart ! The home is awsome. I am planning to build an Earthship to live in myself. Off grid living is my goal.

    My daughter and I are going to build one by ourselves. I wish we had a community of help! But I am thankful for this video showing me how to do it as cheap as possible, since we are so very poor.

    Second time watching this.... Much love to our off-grid community.
  • Love the idea of super adobe. It's like rammed earth without the shuttering, and earth bags without the barbed wire.
  • @KarasCyborg
    You're ahead of the curve. Low energy use. Low property taxes. Paid For. Next up: Olive Trees, Peach Trees, Mexican Avacado, Persimons and some Vertical Grow Tower Hydroponics.

    I dreamed of building an Adobe home when I was homeless in Arizona in 1988. Got a normal house in Ohio now, so everything worked out OK. Your house is nice, the megaphone !!....
  • Did local council require permits, inspections, and approval?? I’m curious as I wouldn’t think it would pass the insane regulations most councils require. Also that I’m wondering if it’s in one of the few areas that there is very few building regulations?
  • Love this! We are building with hyperadobe in Cochise County, AZ! It’s an amazingly efficient way to build, but it’s a ton of work/time. Totally worth it though! We loved the music!
  • Great story! Love that you threw your hat over the systems wall and retrieved it on the outside of the matrix grid. Thank yoy
  • Pumicecrete is by far the best building material on the planet Pumicecrete is a mixture of pumice cement and water mixed and poured into a set of reusable forms walls are poured from 12"to 24" thick pumicecrete is fireproof termite proof rust rot and mold proof and has a high R value and good sound attenuation solid poured walls means no critters can live in your walls Pumicecrete can be built for a fraction of the cost and time and pumice is one of the few building materials that can go directly from the mine to the job site ready to use without any additional possessing and zero waste Google all the walls of my house are made of pumicecrete Take care Ray
  • @JohnGarland
