    THANK. YOU. Any time you feel like you want to share more "basics", I am THERE! Planning to build in 2-3 years so I'm slowly researching everything as I go. And it's just me and my kiddos! You guys are the best! Thanks for all of the fabulous info!

    Great video! How about one more in depth on how you incorporate wiring for outlets and lights in the walls? Or one on waterproofing the outside walls?
    Keep up the great work!

    Property? I am an American expat Jazz pianist living in Copenhagen Denmark living in a permanent off grid loose community of squatters (Danes been squatting here for 75 years) I live by a beautiful nature preserve/park inside Copenhagen city limits. I have been given opportunity to build a small structure in addition to the camper trailer where I reside with my dog and cat. I am so inspied by your achievements! P.S. the earth here is full of clay.

  • @Mandyblue1984

    This is one of your best videos! Please do more instructional videos like this one. WE are going to start building our Earth bag home in a week or so, so I need all the help I can get lol. I wanted to know what size earth bags did you use?

    • @mylittlehomestead
      @mylittlehomestead  Před 7 lety

      +Amanda G
      We use 14" (empty)

    • @Mandyblue1984
      @Mandyblue1984 Před 7 lety

      ok thank you for letting me know. I bought 18" for the outer walls and I'm going to go with the 14" for the interior walls. We aren't building a round house this time, that's the next project. I hope 18" isn't going to be a mistake, but its only going to be around 15" when its filled. Its just so hot here in NM I wanted the walls as thick as we could make them. Do you live in NM?

  • @Dutch_off_grid_homesteading

    oh yeah this is good stuff. Im a DIY my self (exept for gas). I like your family uploads a lot. oh yeah Im from The Netherlands so my engelisch writng is not the best but I hoop it'll do. I learn a lot allready by only watching your weekly peek but wen you put the theoretical stuf online like this so simpel expleened every body with even a left en right hand can do it

    If you do another building, I would like to see a compressed earth build where you have forms, rebar and dirt

  • @hippierick
    @hippierick Před rokem +1

    Not sure if anyone monitors this...but, I am curious as to the construction of the earthbag home, and the durability of the work and structure currently?

  • @carmenserrano4862
    @carmenserrano4862 Před 2 lety

    We’re looking for land to start building our Adobe home love the videos . I know it’s going to take a lot of work but it’s worth it in the housing market. Months away from homeless this is not good

  • @madi18000
    @madi18000 Před 3 lety

    I plan on making my first house an earthbag house solely because of y’all’s videos! I would love more diy instructional videos. Like I know that Garen made his cabin in the mountains. I wanted to see since that was your last full house video what y’all do for the filling? Still just earth (clay etc) I currently live in North Georgia and we have dirt that has loads of red clay (plus I live on a mountain). And I just was wondering if you still do the same ratio as always for filling (or have you learned hey add some cement in there or something lol), and if the cob is the same that you did a recipe for?

  • @40jmark
    @40jmark Před 7 lety

    Handrail height by IRC is no less than 32 no more than 38. Most residential stairs are 36 from the front of the nosing. Guardrail min is 36 from the floor in residential code. Commercial is 42 min on the guardrail.

  • @arinasan247
    @arinasan247 Před 2 lety

    LOL, at 1:25 the narrator says that we should consider things that are around our building site, then the screen cuts to a teenager working in a yard. Wow, wouldn't it be great to find one of them on my new property, ready to shovel, haul, clean etc etc...

  • @drummergirl9481
    @drummergirl9481 Před 6 lety

    What percent less is an earthbag house to build than stick built? It seems like it would be alot though labor intensive

  • @Pheenilo777

  • @twogirlshomestead60

    Do you know of anyone that has built an earth bag home where there is a lot of winter months of cold windy ice rain and snow?

    • @mylittlehomestead
      @mylittlehomestead  Před 6 lety

      It is an earthen structure. Great for insulation. Not sure what to do in the very cold climates

  • @samanandraj8144

      Kay Grim at least your kids know how they'll use math in life-a common complaint of a typical city kid-what would we use the math for in life

  • @davidross5640

  • @theadventuresofbrockinthai4325

    HI THERE, I HAVE A QUESTION AND IT MIGHT BE A QUESTION ON A LOT OF PEOPLES MIND. WOULD YOU CONSIDER BUILDING A SANDBAG HOME FOR OTHER PEOPLE ? I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN THAILAND FOR THE LAST 9 YEARS AND I AM NOW 71 YEARS OLD AND MAY NEED TO MOVE BACK TO AMERICA. I'VE ENJOYED WATCHING WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND I LIKE THE CARE AND PRIDE THAT YOU PUT INTO EACH STRUCTURE THAT YOU BUILD.
    MYSELF I AM UNABLE TO DO WHAT YOU ARE DOING BECAUSE I BEAT UP MYSELF TOO MUCH WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND NOW I AM PAYING FOR IT. I'VE HAD 4 BACK SURGERIES AND NOW BOTH KNEES NEED SURGERY. I'VE ALSO HAVE HAD MY LEFT SHOULDER REBUILT AND I HAVE COPD. THERE ARE THINGS I CAN DO BUT I AM LIMITED.
    IF YOU WOULD CONSIDER THIS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I AM LIMITED ON FUNDS BUT AM WILLING TO PAY A FAIR PRICE FOR YOUR LABOR AND OF COURSE THE MATERIALS.
    THERE IS ONLY ME SO THE STRUCTURE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT BIG. AND ANOTHER ADVANTAGE FOR YOU WOULD BE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT TO FILM. I HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER THIS.

    please just don't ask me to stand up in front of the class and work out you A2xB2=C2. oh my brain hurts. I need a mathematician to help me build.
