44.0 North-Wall Insulation and Waterproofing

Published 2021-01-04
The next step for our earth sheltered home build, first thing in the spring, was to start working on insulating the north wall.

The video was running long, so I broke it in half so I could release something before the week gets busy again. We'll get out the rest next weekend.

I did ask Sherri about sharing her disembodied voice in the video and she was pretty confident that you would all agree she was the voice of reason in that madness.

    This is vital work. I wish you could do a video about your planning process. This channel is utterly inspiring, and many should follow your lead. I think a smaller vision similar techniques could help in mountainous countries, like Mexico, Philippines, etc. I think you are visionary, and give here for free like a champion of the post-post-modern era.

    Haha the bat wasn’t happy but knew he needed more cleaning!
  • @BorisFett
    Great progress. Poor bat picked the wrong place to hold up for the day.

    Every time I see the notification that I've got a video from you my thought process is always the same. 🥳👍. Did I miss one? That I immediately sit down to watch your video. 😆 I thought it was great how your son defied the fast motion that you were doing and make sure he stood there long enough to make sure he had a good picture. 👍 Thanks so much. 🤠👍

    Strong enough for someone to lean on and not die... 🤔
  • In my country, these Bats are protected by law, I like that you guys cleaned the Bat 🦇 and let him go.
  • @sancochito75
    Thank you for helping the bat. love the construction videos so far.
  • @toddincabo
    Nice work, thanks for sharing. I learn a lot from your videos.
  • @Cameron-ur2tk
    Did a damn good job cleaning that bat. Do you think you'll tape off that edge so no more critters get in or will be covered soon enough?
  • @sn99cobra
    Did you put some clean out ports in that french drain? It will get blocked up with roots shortly.

    It looks like the hydraulics on that backhoe have a small leak somewhere.
  • What is the blue product you're using? Could a person use it on a concrete dome and essentially cover the blue with another layer of cement but have the blue sandwiched?
