WOw.!!!!!!!!
that looked like serious hard work, in the beating hot sun.. amazing team you have.. looks like a REALLY good job you guys are doing!!!! maybe i can hire you to come here next!! ;-)))
CONGRATULATIONS brother.. AMAZING.. beautiful, inspiring!!!!
one month behind a build deadline is impressive even in normal conditions..
Wow, thank you! After so much praise I don't know what to say. That most of the material had already been bought, we just need to use it? That the Covid lockdown forged us together, giving us no other option? That the still outstanding doors, windows, floor, roofing, and plastering would probably put us somewhere halfway to being actually finished?
Anyway, I would LOVE to work together with you in Portugal, whether "hired" or under another kind of beneficial arrangement.
maybe you are right.. covid may have helped in some ways.. especially since no one can run away ;+_))
and of course.. the finishing is as much work if not more than the build..
its worth taking time on it.. to make it beautiful!
lots of thinking on a design here! Right now im toying with the idea of a spiral tyre/ earthbag hybrid.. might be easy to make really as its just one long spiral (fibranicci).. that was in fact my original idea for what ended up being earthship karuna!
Lets see. who know maybe you will join us for a few weeks workshop.. I think we could have the roof up in no time really.. it would be a flat simple low budget one.. to test a small quick build on a shoe string budget.. Im gonna try for 5K euros on materials budget ;-)
Earthbag walls on a tire foundation sounds like a reasonable combination, and building it in the shape of a Fibonacci spiral makes it all so much more exciting. The few weeks and few grands make it all even more interesting I would love to come over for a workshop. Let me know about the details as they manifest themselves.
