This may seem a silly question ,but if you plant all those trees in the greenhouse then will the plants in the planters inside get enough sunlight? Wasn't sure how that would work out.

great idea to have an over flow into a pond

the first shot showing the front of the house, man the house looks sharp! looks good, please keep us updated!

I built a dart frog tank A/C unit out of a normal CPU heat sink on the hot side and a Corsair CPU all in one liquid loop heat sink on the cold side. It basically was a glorified dehumidifier. Dart frogs need 80% humidity. I am pretty sure that will work but you will have to study how condensers handle the liquid they gather in their fins.

Is the water that fills the cistern drinkable? Do you have to do any type of other filtering or sterilization to make it drinkable? I’m just trying to learn

Is this going to be a $2+ mili property?

Looking good! Your Earthship cousins in Taos might be envious of all the rainfall you are experiencing. I like what you're doing with the cistern overflow. Have you considered covering your gutters with a microscreen leaf guard to cut down on the debris accumulation in the gutters and well filter? They are available at Menard's and Home Depot. Since I installed mine 5 years ago, my gutters have remained pristine and I no longer need to climb a ladder every year to clean the gutters.

I love it when a plan comes together. Kudos to you and the great crew working with you! Honestly Michael Reynolds proved that people working together building houses for each other is the way to build great communities.

What is your floor made from?

Great progress! I hope you have an open house when it's all done. Being a fellow Minnesooootan, I'm very interested how your home does during our humid summers and cold winters.

This is great mate

Chad - I forgot - where are you located in the US? We are fortunate in Northern Nevada... our humidity level is quite low. I love going back through your videos! Invaluable advice and information!

Chad - what is the manufacturer/model of solar panels do you have for your inverter?

Blown away! Getting to the End - New Beginning!!

Nice 👍

Place DampRid container inside tube and the Crystals will absorb the moisture. Only you will have to check canister periodically to maintain effectiveness.

My hero. 🎉😂 love it

😂

Very nice!

looks great!

Always enjoy your videos. Such a Beautiful earthship design. Is there a place I could see your blueprints. Or somewhere I could contact you to see them. I'm currently looking at various earthship designs. Trying to figure out what way I should go.✌️

For my building I used 285's on the bottom row, then 2 rows of 275's, followed by 3 rows of 265's, and 2 rows of 245's and the top row is 235's. so far I have only built the garage, the earthship will be started this spring. I used about 350 tires on the garage, and I'm expecting to use about another 400 to 450 for the earthship.

what state are you in i'll help

Looking great Chad! Cool to see your progress over the years... keep on rockin!

Thanks for sharing. Looks great.

awesome! how you get fresh air?

Looking great!

Looks like a lot of progress

Can you speak more on your kitchen water separator please? Thanks!

Love your videos, gave me tons of ideas for my project. Can you give me a general idea of where you built? I'm planning on building in NE Georgia.

bro i have afreind in florida that has a well hooked up to his ac , it cools i think its now regulated against

Dude the place is looking great! You're killing it! It's a lot of work to build and film at the same time... I know I was bad at capturing my house in real time but much appreciated seeing updates on your channel.

Beautiful 👏🏼 . I love how your incorporating traditional interior finishes as well, it’s awesome to see others’ ideas. The Sauna / garden area sounds amazing. Please update when you do your flooring, excited to see it. Thx!

What are cooling tubes and how do they work?

This home looks amazing! I'm curious though, how would the sunlight reach the second planter cells?

Use a loop brother. Add a dehumidifier in the house and just dry the recirculated air inside. Its easier to maintain..

Bang bang!

So far so cool! tHanks for the video

This is awesome! My dream home for Florida! Where is this?

Hello @offGridGoat can yo show us, what di you update to cooling tubes system to get from 95F to 73F temperature ?

This earth ship is crazy! Just wow! And it’s huge ! How cold does it get in your area?

Place looks awesome! Great work.

I just watched a video where President Biden mandated that we use LED lights, to save climate change or whatever, what pisses me off about that is that it's not even about the lights, it's these picking on a stupid issue, if he really really wanted to help with the climate change thing he would make it so these types of buildings were mandated earthships are superior to regular houses, and they could speed up the process by making these houses it doesn't have to all be done by hand and manual labor, it can be very automated, and there's plenty of free tires out there to make a bunch of homes out of this stuff and you don't even have to have tires you can have a material that's similar, and the process could be done so much faster and so much more efficient and cheaper, but for whatever stupid ass reason he wants to focus only on the LED lighting like that really does anything I mean that's miniscule, it would be better if he mandated creating Earthship design houses or converting your current home into an Earthship design and made it so it was possible for everyone to actually convert their house and a cheap manner, because you got to make it available for people at a cheap way of doing it and efficient way of doing it hell man we live in the day and the age of robotics, we have 3D printable houses, I remember 5 years ago they were working on that Tech we haven't heard anything since, I know they exist and I know they've been able to make these 3D printed houses, why not mix the concrete mixture with some kind of insulator that's similar to tires, and then plaster the entire house, I mean there are people that have been working on this for the past decade straight, I'm pretty sure they have it down to a science by now they can make Earthship design buildings without even having the tires honestly but they can have something that's similar to the tires that does the exact same thing that is far cheaper I mean I don't know if they have to use tar is tar any better cuz I know tar heats up just like tires do you know that tar crap they put on the roads if that was within your walls and that was getting heat from the Sun that would warm up your house in the winter very well, the house is would also have a fireplace just in case no maybe you wouldn't have to use the fireplace because typically in these Earthship homes you don't really have to use them, but again why focus on something stupid like LED lighting?

8 years later how's this working?

Great video!

Hear your pain my earthship turned into my retirement home. Life and farming kept taking priority. Most all the build ended up being a one man show. Mine is the old style so all my walls even interior are tires. Think solo 35 tires a day was my record best while still milking cows twice a day. 2500 sq ft 3 bedroom 2 bath,. But it's all paid for during the build. Anything under 5 years is light speed on a first build earthship. Your doing great get as much help as you can get or afford otherwise you'll be at it forever. Not that it will ever be totally done now that you're realizing your skill set.

glad to hear the inspection was not that bad.

great tstuff

can't wait to see the final product with all the plants and what not.
