Thank you for the information
Really dizzy camera.. Painful. But I want to see the Earthships!
There is options. You have to take the land out of the jurisdiction of the tyrannical defacto goverment. Land patent and that should do it. That way if the state comes on your land. You can prove there is no jurisdiction. Its not their property. Which is the problem you have. You dont truly own the land. Its registered as a deed. With the recorder. When it should be recorded as a land patent 🇺🇸👍
The sex swing is a nice touch 👌
cool video, great house, nice dump load - bueno, MG!
Thanks Rick!
Hi! Beautiful work! What kind of tape did you use to assemble the 2 halves? Thx!
Thanks! Just regular duct tape.
Yes, Nito project and Mike R. will check out your other suggestions. Interesting I searched earthship for sale yesterday and there are quite a few, some unfinished, but a listing for one in Montrose @ 1 mil!! Now I need to look for Dennis Weavers place not sure if he is still with us or not.
Thanks for these suggestions!
Thanks for the shout-out! It's funny you mention "Off Grid Build" videos and always wanting a little more detail. Id say that was also a big motivator for me to put videos out there, too. Love what you guys do.
I wonder if this overheats in the summer? No overhangs for that South wall can be brutal here.
I love Dan’s house! He is one rad dude! I got to foam those lids and get to know another awesome community member!
That's awesome! Thanks for following the channel... and yeah Dan's the man!
Way to go guys! Im a builder here and see a lot of these become disasters. You two did an awesome job and have a beautiful home!
Thanks!
Very helpful. Thank you. Planning out a greenhouse layout with a bunch of old square juice bottles we dug up on our property and beer bottles collected from riversides.
Thanks and good luck with yours!
AhMazing!!! What an inspiration. Lovin' the Casa Bonita ceiling.... such fond memories of that place.
Thanks!
Love that solar dump hot water system 🎉
❤ Awesome House building, awesome video.
Thanks Nathan!!
Your electric Hot water set up was a good idea!✌🏾
Thanks!!
A beautiful home made with beautiful hands. You two are such an inspiration!!
Almost finished home tour kinda
nice tour ya'll. can't wait to see you again out there.
Please write or share info on the dump load system!
Will do a future video on it for sure! It's a sick system!
Place looks great in the video, love all the tile work! You two are so sweet!
You guys are awesome! I remember when this was being dreamt up, so cool to see it ✨ it is amazing👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
electrical hot water heater nice. is that what you use for the radiant floors?
We have the tubing in our floors but it's not hooked up to anything yet. We haven't needed to use it
@@goldiemariola-gill6522 understandable. if you do another video can you explain the grey water system a little bit more? the flow from which sinks, shower, ext go where. thank you for this video! love the earthship!
big difference from 3 years ago!
Love your home, it's just amazing. I would love to build to build an Earthship in Crestone!
Thanks! And Crestone has a number of them for sure! No building codes!
Very cool
Thank you!
Love it!!! Yall have worked SO hard! It’s absolutely beautiful!
Thanks sweet cuzin
Well done to you both.
Awesome home. It's beautiful. Y'all are lucky to have this amazing. What was the total price for this build including land??
We spent $16,000 on the land and another $100,000 about on materials, work parties, permits, appliances and finishes.
@@goldiemariola-gill6522 that's amazing. It really is a stunning home you've created. Much love to you and yours.
The best thing I ever heard about finishing was, “think of it as a lifestyle” ☺️ I love your home so much and it really inspires me to keep going. You are right about it taking community. Thanks for passing that along!
Indeed! Lifestyle for sure! Thanks Angela!
Living the dream. Beautiful job guys
🎉 Way to go guys thanks for the tour!
Beautiful build guys!!!! ❤
Good work!
Thanks Joy!

Thanks Taylor! Hope you guys are doing good!
hi uncle matt :)
Hi Has this held up?
Oh yeah! Holding up great!
So the average rainfall annually in Crestone is 12". Is that really enough water for every day use?
Good question... there's a lot of variables and everyone's situation is a little different... I'm certainly very conservative with my water usage over the years. One inch of rain will collect 600 gallons from a 1,000 sqft roof... so that's about 7,200 gallons a year. Also that doesn't count snow melt which adds even more so it all kinda depends. Hope that helps!
Paula your home is my fav!! I love it!!
Great job Paula!
great place! We arrived last week! Can't wait to meet y'all -)
Thanks! And yeah I'm sure we will connect soon... just been super slammed with work. If you and your family are interested Goldie is leading some home tours for the Crestone Energy Fair this Sunday from 10am-2pm. Here's the link for tickets... www.crestoneenergyfair.org/purchase-home-tours-and-ongoing-education
So the apple didn't fall far from the tree... 😊
Indeed!
So great to see! Love it!
That's going to be a great place! What's the plan for insulation?
I think spray foam but I will confirm and reply back in a few days after I find out for sure
Love to see more of this build as it goes along
We will for sure do a update when it's further along! Thanks for the comment
So neat, thanks for sharing your ideas!
Yay mom!! Good job Pete and Matt!!
Thanks Goldie!
General did a good job.
Looks fabulous
