Love the wisdom shared guys! :)
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Absolutely great advice..
Thanks!
When it comes to tools, don't forget that tools break, they may last for years, but then break at the most inconvenient time. Also time, it will take longer than expected. So far it has taken me just over two years to go from excavating to having the roof of the earthship garage framed, my building is still not done, far from it,.. but in the last couple years I have broken 3 shovels, 1 sledge, 2 drills, and 1 framing hammer, I have a maul that the handle is needing to be replaced on. Buy good quality tools, they last longer and are typically more suited for the hard work that building requires. The framing hammer I broke last year was one that I bought back in 2001. I used it to build lots of stuff, and it lasted a long time, but in the middle of framing the roof the handle snapped off and the head went flying while driving in a nail.
Very true... wear and tear for sure can break things
Fantastic wisdom born from experience. Thanks for this!
Thanks! Indeed!

Great advice. Friendly pointer, this podcast needs more knees.
Thanks! lol
A standard American 3bed/2bath home has 2 man-year worth of labor in it. An earthship is probably double.
Yes you can pound a tire in 20 minutes, but not many people can sustain that for more than a few hours a day.
Thanks! True statement!
What a tiring statistic! 😅
It's good to purchase an existing structure and modify it as necessary. An existing structure is the most sustainable.
Good point!
