RE: THE EARTHSHIP HUT BUILD: DAYS 2-5. Why tyres make the ultimate eco-building material and how to build with them

in #ecotrain7 years ago

Wow gorgeous gorgeous photos!! Great Detail in the explanation @eco-alex! Really well done.

Especially Love this, so so important to understand thermal mass <3

"Every tyre you pound today is another 10 kilos of wood you don't have to chop tomorrow, or money you have to earn in order to pay for power bills! This is not only your house, but also your heating and cooling system for life!"

im happy you read this one, you are one of the few who knows these details, so coming from you this is nice to hear! no one has much clue what thermal mass is Vs insulation and that is a shame since it is one of the great benefits of Earthship Biotecture!
