RE: The Earthship Hut Workshop Finale! 20 Volunteers, 14 Days, $5,000 Budget

in #ecotrain7 years ago

long time earthship enthusiast. great fun and inspiration to watch you create. I am planning a natural building school in Canada dedicated to teaching Indigenous women how to build their own homes. Likely using straw because tire ramming is uber laborious. Good on you, keep up the great work.

glad to meet a fellow enthusiast! happy to hear of your plans! There is a LOT of good things happening in Canada from what I hear.. Very best of luck with your project. You Might consider some earthbag construction with a tyre foundation as Earthbag is a lot faster, and also performs really well. Straw is great as an insulator, but to have some thermal mass is going to be very nice in the winter '-)
